One Person. One Weird Idea. A Lot of Courses.

obyo is a side project by Braviata, which is a fancy way of saying one guy named Izzy Hyman who builds things in his spare time.

The Problem

There's an overwhelming amount of great content on the internet — YouTube videos, articles, docs, tutorials — and a frustrating amount of it goes in one ear and out the other. You watch a 45-minute video, feel smart for an hour, and forget everything by Thursday.

The Fix

We built a tool that turns any source into a structured, well-researched course with cited sources and interactive exercises. Because your brain deserves better than "I watched a video about that once."

How it works (the short version)

1

You give us a URL

YouTube video, article, docs page — whatever sparked your curiosity.

2

AI goes deep

It researches the broader topic, finds related sources, and builds a full course with structured lessons and citations.

3

You actually remember it

Study online, download as PDF, or share with students. Every course is free to access, forever.

Why it's free to learn

Every course on obyo is free to study with a free account. Funding a course costs a small fee to cover the AI generation costs, but once it exists, it's here for everyone. The person who funds a course is a patron of knowledge, not a gatekeeper to it.

The one-person thing

Braviata is not a venture-backed startup with a ping pong table and a mission statement written by committee. It's one person who thinks learning should be more accessible, more memorable, and a lot less boring.

The upside

Decisions happen fast and there are no meetings.

The downside

If something breaks at 2am, there's only one person to blame.
