Booni: from an idea to a hybrid learning platform ready to test

A project founder in special-needs education wanted to bring workshops and resources together on one platform. Boldys helped her frame the idea, then build a first version to test.

Booni is a hybrid learning practice: a platform that brings together workshops and resources according to the needs of young people and adults alike. Boldys first ran four weeks of consulting to clarify the concept, then built a deliberately minimal MVP designed to test the idea without committing too many resources: an events calendar, a blog and an interactive game.

The problem

Booni was a rich but still broad idea: support for remediation and skills development, in person and online, as a complement to school. Several audiences (children in remediation, young people in study groups, parents and professionals), several pillars (exercises, blog, parent follow-up) and a need for a sober identity and a secure platform. The question was what should exist first.

The solution

Boldys started with a four-week consulting engagement to clarify the concept and bring it back to the essentials, with a mockup and a prototype. The team then built a deliberately minimal MVP to test the idea without committing too many resources: a calendar to bring workshops together, a blog for content and resources, and an interactive game. The platform is hosted and maintained by Boldys.

What was delivered

  • An events calendar: to bring workshops together according to participants' needs.
  • A blog: the space to publish articles and resources for families and professionals.
  • An interactive game: a first online activity, available directly from the platform.

The version is deliberately simple: the goal was to test the concept in real conditions before investing in more complex features.

“You showed great creativity and adaptability. […] Once it was set up, you listened to the feedback. […] On top of being a great AI agency, you are a great job coach. […] You are very reliable. And there is good follow-up. It's a good pace.”
