Matt Cretzman has introduced Skill Refinery, a Dallas-based platform designed to transform expert knowledge into AI-native skill cards, accessible via Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. The platform can be found at skillrefinery.ai.
— Skill Refinery (skillrefinery.ai) is a newly launched platform aimed at converting expert intellectual property into skill cards that can be readily utilized by artificial intelligence. Founded by Matt Cretzman, this Dallas-based initiative aspires to create the world’s most extensive curated library of human expert knowledge specifically for AI applications. The platform delivers organized methodologies from experts through popular AI tools such as Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot.
The AI skills landscape has witnessed remarkable growth, with over 5,800 Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers now operational and monthly SDK downloads exceeding 97 million. Major AI platforms—including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind—have recognized MCP as the standard for integrating external knowledge into AI models. However, most existing MCP servers function as technical tools, such as database connectors and API integrations, leaving a gap in the $15 billion coaching and professional development market for scalable infrastructures that can deliver expert methodologies through AI.
“Everyone’s racing to enhance AI agents’ technical capabilities. Skill Refinery is addressing a different challenge. The finest business strategies, leadership frameworks, and coaching methodologies exist in books and courses that AI currently cannot access. Our platform unlocks this valuable knowledge, ensuring the expert’s identity, methodology, and compensation are preserved.”
— Matt Cretzman, Founder and CEO, Skill Refinery
How Skill Refinery Works
Skill Refinery employs an extraction engine that can process books, courses, audiobooks, and transcripts in just minutes. For example, a standard 200-page business book can yield 30 to 80 structured skill cards, each encapsulating a unique methodology or framework. These cards enable an AI assistant to provide tailored responses based on the user’s specific context in real time. Importantly, once the data is extracted, the original source files do not re-enter AI context windows, which is crucial for organizations concerned with intellectual property protection.
The platform offers three distinct models: individual Creator Storefronts for authors and coaches, organizational knowledge libraries for companies, and community hubs for advisory groups. Experts can earn recurring monthly income as subscribers engage with their methodologies, benefiting from a 50/50 revenue sharing model with no upfront fees for participation.
First Published Expert
The inaugural expert featured on the platform is Tony Jeary, known as “The RESULTS Guy.” He is a seasoned business strategist who has guided Fortune 500 leaders—including executives from Walmart, Ford, Samsung, Shell, and American Airlines—throughout his 40-year career, complemented by over 125 published books. Skills derived from Jeary’s RESULTS Faster methodology are currently accessible through Claude and ChatGPT.
“For decades, gaining access to these frameworks meant hiring a coach or reading a book. Skill Refinery alters this dynamic. Anyone utilizing an AI tool can now receive personalized insights drawn from established methodologies, customized to their unique circumstances.”
— Tony Jeary, Business Strategist and First Expert Contributor, Skill Refinery
