Design a Meta Product Where People Teach and Learn Skills From Each Other

You are a product manager at Meta. Design a product that helps people share skills with one another. ```hint Choose one pairing Skill sharing has two sides, the people who teach and the people who learn, and the skills range from cooking to coding. Pick one pairing where Meta's apps have an advantage that existing learning sites lack, and design for it. ``` ### Clarifying Questions - Is this a new standalone app, or something built into Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp? - Which kind of skill sharing: swaps between friends, hobby experts teaching small groups, or creators teaching large audiences? - Is monetization, such as paid classes, in scope for the first version? - Should the product serve teens, given the safety rules that would require? ### What a Strong Answer Covers - A goal tied to Meta's mission and business, and a reason Meta should build this at all - A chosen segment of teachers and learners, with the reasoning behind the choice - The top pain points, and features that address them, prioritized into a first version - A north-star metric with supporting metrics and guardrails such as safety and content quality - Risks including teacher quality, moderation, cold start and competition from established learning platforms ### Follow-up Questions - How would you attract enough good teachers in the first markets? - A teacher wants to charge for lessons. What changes in the product and in the metrics? - Learners join many circles or groups but stop practicing after the first week. What do you do?
