Markdown in · live workshop out

Live workshops, written in plain Markdown —with every student’s progress in real time.

One file becomes your whole workshop— students join with a code, no accounts needed, and your live dashboard shows exactly who’s done, who’s stuck, and who needs help.

Engineered for teachers, trainers, bootcamp instructors, and corporate workshop leaders.

Your content stays plain Markdown — export it anytime, no lock-in

Write it

The document you write is the workshop they run.

Author a whole workshop as one plain Markdown file — # headings become steps, #[quiz] turns a step into a graded quiz. Then run it live.

Familiar & fast

No new editor to learn — write your workshop in the Markdown you already know, and go live in minutes.

AI-generatable

It's just text — paste from ChatGPT, or let AI draft the whole workshop, quizzes included.

One source of truth

The same document renders in your editor and in the live room — what you preview is exactly what they see.

That’s the whole workshop — just a document. Now watch it come alive in the room.

Run it

Now watch a full session run, live.

The same Markdown, now in the room — from the first join to the final report, end to end.

Everything a live workshop needs

Built for instructor-led sessions where pace is everything.

Authored in plain Markdown

It's just Markdown — # headings are steps, #[quiz] adds a graded quiz. Import an existing .md file in one click, let AI draft it, and export it back out anytime. No proprietary format, no lock-in.

Join with a 6-character code

Participants join in seconds from any device. No accounts, no installs, no friction at the start of class.

Per-step status signals

Every participant marks each step as in progress, done, or stuck — so the room's state is always one glance away.

Real-time dashboard

A live view of who's on which step, who's done, and who's falling behind — updating as it happens.

Raise hand & comments

Quiet participants get a voice. Hands and inline comments surface questions without interrupting the room.

Broadcasts, check-ins & polls

Push an announcement, run a quick poll, or check the room's energy — answered in one tap.

Wherever a group works through steps together, Workshopy keeps the whole room in sync.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first workshop.

Do I need to learn a special format to build a workshop?

No — it's standard Markdown, the same syntax you already know from GitHub or your notes. Each top-level # heading starts a new step, and #[quiz] turns a step into a graded quiz. Since it's just text, you can write it yourself or have AI draft the whole thing.

Do participants need an account to join?

No. Participants join a live workshop in seconds with a 6-character code from any device — no account, no install. You only need an account to create and host workshops.

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan includes the full live experience: real-time progress dashboard, broadcasts, polls, raise-hand, comments, and session reports — for sessions up to 45 minutes with up to 30 participants.

What are the limits on the free plan?

Sessions up to 45 minutes, up to 30 participants per session, 1 live session at a time, 10 workshop templates, 250 MB of asset storage, and report history for 30 days. Pro raises every one of these.

How does the real-time progress tracking work?

Participants mark each step as in progress, done, or stuck. Your dashboard updates live as it happens, so you can see who's on which step, who's finished, and who needs help — without interrupting the room.

Who is Workshopy built for?

Teachers, bootcamp instructors, corporate trainers, and workshop facilitators — anyone running live, instructor-led sessions where keeping the whole room on pace matters.

How long is my data kept?

Session reports stay available for at least 30 days on the free plan and 12 months on Pro, and you can export them as Markdown at any time. Your workshop templates stay in your account until you delete them. We don't currently auto-delete older session data — if that changes, we'll announce it well in advance so you can export first.

Can I get my content out again?

Always. Every workshop is plain Markdown — export any template as a single .md file in one click, and export session reports as Markdown too. There's no proprietary format and no lock-in: what you import is what you can take back out.

Stop guessing. Start knowing.
