Robocrop: Creating Images with Generative AI What do we we do when product images are missing? Generative AI for the win! Thanks to the DALL-E API, we can automatically create those missing images. What our clients are saying With Wilco, developers see clearly how CircleCI can solve real-world engineering challenges, in a way that just can’t be communicated through a standard tutorial. Whether while up-skilling themselves, onboarding to a new team or during continuous on-the-job training, we’re excited for developers to engage with CircleCI within Wilco quests. Tom Trahan VP Business Development Circle CI Wilco is by far the most engaging tech training solution we’ve seen. We’ve chosen the platform to onboard new hires, prepare team members for on-call shifts and upskill our more experienced devs on an ongoing basis. Dan van Tran CTO Collectors Wilco has created an original way for developers to gain experience with tools, and we are excited to provide the opportunity for developers to engage with our product in a real-world setting, enabling us to easily communicate the value our product offers, while allowing developers to quickly acquire expertise Jemiah Sius Director of Developer Advocacy New Relic We used Wilco to help new users quickly understand Mixpanel’s value by showcasing our product features through a very immersive experience. With Wilco's training, our users got the "aha moment" from the get-go. The team at Wilco supported us throughout the quest creation process, and we also leveraged their AI quest generator. Alon Binman Strategic Architect Mixpanel Segment is an infrastructure-type tool that can be hard to demo without having other components present. Wilco's quest builder makes it easy to have those components preconfigured so that the prospective customer can jump right into the learning. Wilco was a great fit for us at Segment because it neatly wraps the whole developer experience. Ben Link Developer Advocate Twilio Segment The Wilco platform allows MongoDB to take the best elements of “learning by doing” out to a wider audience and engage them with tasks and challenges that are both fun and educational. Shane McAllister Developer Advocate Twilio Segment Do it with Wilco Empowering companies with a production like virtual lab, creating interactive and immersive training and onboarding programs.

Current verdict

Wilco is exposed. Anthropic is shipping a lot of the raw ingredients for AI-generated interactive learning, coding guidance, skills, files, agents, and enterprise workflow integration. Wilco is not dead yet, but the generic AI quest/lab layer is getting commoditized fast.

Assessment

Wilco sells AI-powered immersive technical learning: chat interface, generated quests from docs/repos/blogs, hands-on lab environments, and enterprise metrics. Anthropic now covers major adjacent surfaces: coding copilots, learning-oriented output styles, long-context repo/doc ingestion, file creation, skills, plugins, connectors, agent teams, and even examples explicitly about turning content into interactive courses. That means a lot of Wilco's feature story is now platform capability rather than product moat. The good news: Wilco still has a more opinionated packaged product for developer onboarding/training, with preconfigured labs, branded quests, customer education use cases, and metrics. The bad news: if enterprises or devtool vendors can build their own Claude-powered learning flows quickly, Wilco becomes optional middleware.

Biggest historical hit

2025-10-30 — Claude Skills examples included 'Turn content into a personalized, interactive course.' That is painfully close to Wilco's promise of generating immersive quests from documentation, blog posts, and repositories.

What still protects them

Their best defense is packaging, not base model magic: structured quests, production-like lab environments, enterprise onboarding workflows, branded customer education experiences, and progress analytics. Wilco also appears tuned specifically for software training and developer GTM, with preconfigured stacks and immersive scenarios that Claude alone does not ship as a turnkey LMS. If they own curriculum design, lab orchestration, customer-specific onboarding, and measurable learning outcomes, they still have a product. If they're mostly 'chat + generated lessons from docs/repos,' they're cooked eventually.

Why this is in the blast radius

An early look at what people are building with Claude Skills: Turn content into a personalized, interactive course

ClaudeAI X Digest · 2025-10-30

Inside blast radius

This is the cleanest overlap. Wilco explicitly generates immersive quests from documentation, blog posts, and repositories. Anthropic publicly highlighted Claude being used to turn content into personalized interactive courses, which directly attacks Wilco's content-generation layer.

Today we're launching new ways to learn in Claude Code and the Claude app... Learning style and Explanatory style

ClaudeAI X Digest · 2025-08-14

Inside blast radius

Wilco positions itself as immersive technical learning. Anthropic added built-in learning-oriented interaction patterns where Claude teaches, explains reasoning, and leaves implementation to the user. That weakens Wilco's differentiation around guided learning UX, especially for coding education.

Claude can now create and edit files. Turn conversations into Excel spreadsheets, documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and PDFs directly

ClaudeAI X Digest · 2025-09-09

Inside blast radius

Wilco's platform creates training artifacts and guided journeys. Claude gaining native file creation/editing makes it easier for teams to generate training materials, exercises, decks, and docs directly inside the assistant, reducing the need for a separate content authoring workflow.

Skills are now available on all paid plans... Claude identifies relevant Skills and applies them automatically

ClaudeAI X Digest · 2025-10-16

Inside blast radius

Wilco's value includes reusable training patterns and guided workflows. Claude Skills create reusable packaged instructions/workflows across Claude, Claude Code, and API, making it easier for enterprises to encode their own onboarding and enablement patterns without buying a separate learning product.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.6... full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design

Anthropic News Digest · 2026-02-17

Inside blast radius

Wilco depends on strong coding and repo/document understanding to generate realistic quests. Sonnet 4.6 plus 1M context, coding improvements, and computer use massively improves the foundation needed to build Wilco-like guided learning and hands-on workflows directly on Claude.

Added output styles and Learning mode to Claude Code

Claude Code Changelog · 2025-09-16

Inside blast radius

Wilco's product is fundamentally about helping developers learn by doing. Claude Code shipping learning mode means the core coding assistant itself now supports pedagogical workflows, reducing the need for a standalone learning wrapper for some use cases.
