Item 3, concept only. Once the with-memory companion lands, creating a course becomes a conversation: the instructor talks to their chosen character, who interviews them, co-drafts the course, and remembers everything. That memory is shared from day one — the agent that helped build the course is the agent that later answers students in the dock.
Vision now · build after the companion (Stage 1) shipsA guided conversation — but everything it produces lands in a structured draft you can edit directly. Chat and form are one document, two views.
The companion that co-authors the course carries that context forward — into the student dock, and back into the next revision.
Real venues, real prices, real safeguarding. The companion leaves anything it can't verify blank and flagged — never a plausible invention.
Every answer lands in an editable field. An instructor who doesn't want to chat can fill the form directly — the companion just assists.
Legal, payouts, refund policy and safety route to a person — the same escalation rule as the student-facing companion.
Ties to the launch discipline: don't market an unbuilt course. A draft stays a draft until the real venue, price and dates are confirmed.
Concept for review, not build — sequenced after the Stage-1 companion lands. The structured draft reuses the existing create-course fields; the chat is an assist layer on top, never a replacement.
