If you are a creator, coach, or expert, you have probably looked at Podia for courses and digital products, Circle for community, and now AIyou for an AI version of yourself. The question is not “which one is better?”—it is “what job does each tool do in my business?”
Think of them as layers in a stack: Podia powers your products, Circle powers your people, and AIyou powers always‑on engagement that sits in the middle—answering questions, supporting members, and nudging people back into your offers.
Three Different Approaches to Creator Monetization
How They Work Together in a Single Creator Business
Here is a simple, real‑world style example for a fitness creator:
Example: Sarah, fitness creator
- Podia: sells a $97 flagship course
- Circle: runs a $29/month fitness community
- AIyou: offers a $29/month AI coach that answers questions, explains workouts, and keeps members accountable 24/7
Podia handles product delivery. Circle handles community and live events. AIyou fills the gaps between sessions—supporting members when Sarah is offline.
Result: more course completion, higher community retention, and $1,500–$2,000/month in extra recurring revenue from the AI clone alone.
