From AI discovery to your next buyer.
See whether your course appears in AI buyer responses. Then answer the questions visitors ask before checkout, from your own content with the source shown.
How does HelpShelf connect AI discovery to course sales?
Start by checking how available AI providers answer buyer questions about your course. Then use your published course details, FAQs, and policies to give buyers clear information in your public help center and on your own site. Your sales agent answers from that content, shows the source, and offers visitor-controlled follow-up. Each AI provider decides what to recommend; HelpShelf cannot guarantee inclusion.
Course creators lose buyers in two places: AI search and their own sales page.
A buyer may ask an AI assistant for a shortlist before visiting your site. Once they arrive, one unanswered question can keep them from checking out. You may recognize the pattern:
- Buyers ask an AI assistant for the best course in your niche or "is [your course] worth it" — and you do not know whether your course appears or how it is described.
- "Quick question before I buy…" DMs that arrive at midnight and get answered after the buying mood passed.
- The same ten questions — refunds, access length, prerequisites, payment plans — asked again and again.
- Students emailing "where is module 3?" while you are trying to record module 7.
- A launch week where support eats the hours you needed for selling.
Help buyers find answers, before and after they reach your site.
See what AI says about your course, make your public course information easier to find, and answer pre-sale questions from the same content. A buyer who wants to continue can share their contact details with their question attached.
See what AI says about your course
Run a free visibility check using buyer prompts. Read the responses, see whether your course appears, and see who else is mentioned. The report shows which providers returned answers; it is a snapshot of those checks.
Cited answers on the sales page
Price, curriculum, refund terms, who it’s for — answered from your own pages with the source shown, right where the buying decision happens.
Leads, not lost tabs
When a visitor wants a human answer, they confirm the handoff and you get their question and contact — a warm lead with context, in your inbox.
Guardrails a creator actually needs
The creator preset refuses discount haggling, income-results claims, and personal promises on your behalf — and answers refund-policy questions straight from your published policy.
Student questions handled too
Access, login, module locations, certificates — the after-purchase questions get the same cited treatment, so your inbox holds sales conversations, not support tickets.
From sales page to selling agent in three steps
No help desk migration. No new platform to learn.
Point it at your site
Paste your sales page or site URL. HelpShelf reads your public pages — sales copy, FAQ, curriculum, policies — into a knowledge base you review.
Add one script tag
Drop the snippet into your site (works on Kajabi, Teachable, Podia, WordPress, Squarespace, and any page where you can add code). The widget appears on every page.
Answer the picker, keep the guardrails
Choose "Courses, coaching, or a community" during setup and the creator guardrails apply automatically. Watch every conversation and captured lead in your inbox.
Built for how creators sell
Grounded in your content. Honest when it cannot verify. On your side of the checkout.
Learns from what you already wrote
Your sales page, FAQ, and policies are the source material. No re-writing your business into a bot builder.
Citations under every answer
Buyers see where each answer came from. Confidence sells; sourced confidence sells more. If you're comparing tools first, 7 AI answer tools for course creators in 2026 ranks the options and shows which ones answer from your own content.
Refuses what you’d refuse
No invented discounts. No "you’ll make $10k/month" promises. No refund exceptions you never offered. It stops instead of improvising.
Every conversation on the record
See what buyers actually ask before they buy. Unanswered questions surface as gaps you can fill with one click.
Covers the night shift
Evenings, launch nights, time zones you’ve never visited — the questions still get cited answers.
Free while you validate
The Free plan covers a real widget, AI answers, and a public help center. Upgrade when the leads justify it.

Frequently asked questions
No. HelpShelf answers only from the content you connect — your sales page, FAQ, curriculum, and policies — and shows citations. When it cannot verify an answer, it says so instead of improvising, and can offer the visitor a confirmed human handoff.
Yes, and this is a deliberate design point. "What is your refund policy?" is answered from your published policy, with a citation. "Give me a refund" or "can you make an exception?" is refused and routed to you — the agent never negotiates policy on your behalf.
Yes. Any platform that lets you add a code snippet can run the widget — Kajabi site-wide code, Teachable code blocks, Podia, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and your own site all work. Skool does not allow script embeds, so Skool communities use a public help-center link instead. Kajabi's Expert Agents stay on Kajabi-hosted pages; if you also need a cited sales agent on domains you control, Kajabi Expert Agents vs an owned-site AI sales agent covers that hosting fork.
The visitor confirms the handoff themselves — the agent never fabricates "I’ve passed this to the team." You get the question, the page they were on, and their contact details as a lead in your inbox, with alert options in your notification settings.
No. The creator preset explicitly refuses income and results claims. If a visitor asks "will I make money from this course?", the agent declines to promise outcomes and points to what your pages actually say.
No. Each provider chooses what to include. The free AI visibility audit uses buyer prompts with available providers and shows their responses, mentions, and coverage. These API responses are a snapshot, not a measurement of every buyer’s experience in ChatGPT or another consumer app. Clear public course information gives people and AI assistants source material to read; it does not guarantee a recommendation.
Yes — a real one: a live widget, cited answers, and a public help center, with no credit card and no expiry. You can also start a free AI visibility check without an account. Paid plans ($49/mo Pro and $149/mo Scale) add sites, branding controls, and capacity; see the pricing page for allowances.
