Students often receive the right content but lack the skills to learn effectively. Coachbit identified that the real gap was not what students were taught, but how they built consistent learning habits. The challenge was to design a product that supported daily accountability and habit formation, using coaching principles to help students apply learning consistently over time.

Building key features over time

Building key features over time

Building key features over time

As Coachbit evolved, we focused on features that supported habit formation, daily planning, and feedback loops. Key features included:


  • Morning and evening routines: We designed structured daily routines to help students build consistency around essential tasks. Light gamification reinforced completion and progress without distracting from the core behaviour.

  • Calendar view for homework and activities: A calendar-based layout gave students a clear overview of academic and extracurricular commitments, reducing cognitive load and reliance on external tools.

  • In-app surveys for ongoing feedback: We introduced lightweight in-app surveys to collect feedback from students, parents, and coaches, allowing us to validate assumptions and adjust features based on real usage.

Measurable impact: Reducing Refunds and Churn to Unlock Revenue Growth
