What is Kajabi?

Kajabi is building retention machinery around the community and the checkout.

Recent work clusters in three places. Payments: Instant Payouts, ACH Direct Debit for invoicing at lower processing fees, redesigned upsells and checkout label overrides. Community: a moderation set with a review feed, per-member post approval, hide and lock actions, bulk handling and a full audit log, plus translations covering interface, in-app notifications, email and push across six languages. Retention: cancellation reason tracking, and win-back targeting that filters contacts by previously owned or cancelling offers across campaigns, triggers and branches.

What is Scribe?

Scribe is grounding its Optimize agent in company context while widening how docs get captured.

Scribe's recent work splits cleanly in two: making the Optimize agent answer from an organization's own context, and broadening what can become a Scribe in the first place. Admin-set business context now feeds every agent chat, and video uploads join browser capture as a source for step-by-step documentation. Around those, the team is filling in workspace basics — departments, cross-team sharing, and now a sortable list view for the library.

Kajabi is building retention machinery around the community and the checkout.

◆ Current state

Recent work clusters in three places. Payments: Instant Payouts, ACH Direct Debit for invoicing at lower processing fees, redesigned upsells and checkout label overrides. Community: a moderation set with a review feed, per-member post approval, hide and lock actions, bulk handling and a full audit log, plus translations covering interface, in-app notifications, email and push across six languages. Retention: cancellation reason tracking, and win-back targeting that filters contacts by previously owned or cancelling offers across campaigns, triggers and branches.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is a platform moving from helping creators sell once to helping them keep members. Cancellation reasons and win-back campaigns are two halves of one loop — record why someone left, then address them as a segment — and the community investment treats the membership rather than the course as the unit being retained. The payments work points at higher-ticket invoiced sales rather than impulse checkout.

◆ Prediction

With cancellation reasons now collected, the natural next step is acting on them automatically — triggering a retention offer from the reason itself rather than leaving it in a report for someone to read.

Scribe is grounding its Optimize agent in company context while widening how docs get captured.

◆ Current state

Scribe's recent work splits cleanly in two: making the Optimize agent answer from an organization's own context, and broadening what can become a Scribe in the first place. Admin-set business context now feeds every agent chat, and video uploads join browser capture as a source for step-by-step documentation. Around those, the team is filling in workspace basics — departments, cross-team sharing, and now a sortable list view for the library.

◆ Where it's heading

The capture engine is being decoupled from the browser recorder: if any video can become a Scribe, the product's input surface stops being tied to a live session. At the same time the agent is moving from a generic assistant to one that reasons over an org's tools and goals, which is what makes it defensible against a general-purpose chatbot pointed at the same documents. Library and org management work is following the customer size that grounding attracts.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next moves to push the Optimize agent further into retrieval over the library itself, and to extend the video-to-doc path with more source types or bulk import. Library management is likely to keep gaining filtering and ownership controls as document counts grow.
