Stepthrough Start free

Built an AI tool? Get a free hands-on lesson for it.

Updated · By Robert Breen

Stepthrough is free, hands-on AI training for people at work. Tell us about your tool and we build a free step-by-step lesson for it, plus a listing in our AI tools directory, usually within about 48 hours.

What we do

  • A free, interactive lesson where learners do one real work task in your tool, step by step.
  • Its own page on Stepthrough, plus a card in the AI tools directory (750+ tools).
  • Built from your public docs. You do not need to give us an account.

What we ask

  • A link to the lesson from your site, docs, help center or blog.
  • That is all. We send you a badge and an embed snippet to make it easy.

Who qualifies

  • Real software that people use for work.
  • We check your site’s authority before we build.
  • Tiny or brand-new apps may get a directory listing now and a lesson later.

  2. We check it: a real product for work, and your site’s authority.
  3. We build the lesson from your public docs and list your tool in the directory.

  5. You link to it from your site or docs, and your users get a free way to learn your tool.

The badge and the embed

Every partner lesson page has a Get the badge / embed this lesson box with copy-paste HTML: a small “Featured on Stepthrough” badge that links to your lesson, or the whole interactive lesson in an iframe with a text link under it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the lesson cost anything?
No. The lesson, the directory listing and the badge are free. There are no paid tiers and no sponsored placements, and no tool can pay for a lesson or a better spot.
What do you ask in return?
A link to the lesson from your site, docs, help center or blog, wherever it helps your users. Once the lesson is live we send you the link and a copy-paste badge or embed snippet.
How fast is the lesson built?
Usually within about 48 hours of a submission we accept. We start from your public docs, so you do not need to give us an account.
Who qualifies?
Real software that people use for work: office, sales, finance, HR, legal, marketing, operations or support. We check your site’s authority before we build. Very new or very small apps may get a directory listing first and a lesson later.
Can learners use the lesson inside my own docs?
Yes. Every free lesson has an embed snippet: an iframe that plays the whole lesson on your page, with a plain text link back to the lesson under it.
What does the lesson look like?
A free, step-by-step practice: learners do one real work task with your tool, each step is checked as they go, and nothing touches a real account. It gets its own page on Stepthrough with the steps, a quick answer and an FAQ.
