It is a complete product operation in miniature: bilingual content, a free AI tool with real users, paid courses with live commerce plumbing, and the deployment engineering to run it all hands-off. ## The Product Three legs carry it: - **A bilingual content operation.** The blog ships in English and Russian with full structural parity — every article authored twice, not machine-translated — over per-language SEO metadata, currencies, and locales. Sustained two-language publishing is the unglamorous part of an education product, and it is the part that compounds. - **A free AI assistant as the flagship tool.** [Agile Coach Pro](/projects/agile-coach-pro/) answers Agile questions from curated sources and is the platform's front door — free, no signup, and the reason many visitors arrive at all. It began life here as my first production RAG system before evolving into its current form; that story lives on its own page. - **Paid courses with real commerce plumbing.** Video courses hosted on an external learning platform, sold through the site with promotional windows, UTM-tracked payment links, and a bespoke XML product feed that syndicated the catalog to a third-party course marketplace — plus `Course` structured data (pricing, workload, skills) authored well before structured data became my systematic practice elsewhere. ## The Engineering Under the education product sits deliberate platform work: - **A whole Hugo module ecosystem.** The site is assembled from my own earlier generation of reusable Hugo modules — SEO, search, PWA, image optimization, consent, embeds — the predecessor library to the [Hugo Artifacts](/projects/hugo-artifacts/) system my newer sites run on. Agile Uni is where the build-a-module-once, reuse-everywhere discipline started. - **A custom output format for commerce.** Hugo does not ship a product-feed concept, so the site defines its own: a `CourseFeed` XML output format generating the marketplace's expected feed, UTM tags and all, straight from the same front matter the course pages render from. - **A four-platform portable build.** The identical codebase builds cleanly on Cloudflare Pages (the live host), Vercel, Netlify, and AWS Amplify, each bootstrapping its own Hugo and Go toolchain from scratch — hosting as a swappable commodity rather than a dependency. - **The contact-form pattern born here.** The serverless Turnstile-verified, Telegram-delivered contact form this site pioneered is the same architecture my other sites reuse today. ## Where It Fits Agile Uni is the proving ground in my project history. The module architecture, the release engineering, the structured-data practice, and the contact-form pattern all matured here first and were carried forward — refined, and in places completely rebuilt — into [alexfeel.info](/projects/alexfeel-info/) and the rest of my site portfolio. The platform itself remains live and operating: the courses sell in one language, the assistant answers in two, and the whole thing runs without a team behind it. ## Site index - [llms.txt](https://www.alexfeel.info/llms.txt) - [Complete index](https://www.alexfeel.info/llms-index.txt)
