AI course generator for interactive e-learning
xAPI Course Builder's AI course generator turns your documents, web links, videos and briefs into an interactive online course. You approve an outline first, the AI writes the lessons, questions and interactions from your material, and you edit everything before exporting it as xAPI or cmi5.

How AI course generation works
Add your sources
Upload documents, PDFs or ZIP files, paste web links, online documents or video links, or write a brief.
Shape the outline
Review and edit the proposed sections and lessons before any content is written, and choose the interactions you want.
Generate the lessons
The AI writes lessons, knowledge checks and interactions from your material.
Edit and refine
Everything is editable in the studio. When your source changes, regenerate the course.
What you can generate a course from
Combine files, links and a brief in one course.
| Source | What you add |
|---|---|
| Documents | .docx, .pdf, .txt, .md and .html files |
| Slide decks | .pptx files |
| Images, video and audio | .png, .jpg, .gif, .webp, .svg, .mp4, .webm, .mov, .m4v, .mp3, .m4a and .wav files |
| Folders of files | A .zip, unpacked for you |
| Links | Web pages, online documents and video links |
| A brief | A description of the course you want, its audience and its goals |
What the AI builds
- Sections and lessons that follow the outline you approved
- Lesson content written from your sources, with your images and media
- Knowledge checks and assessment questions
- Interactions such as flip cards, accordions, tabs and branching scenarios
Want your documents kept exactly as written? "Do not change content" mode brings them in word for word. Every block the AI creates is a normal block in the studio, and the 43 block types are all there to add your own.
You stay in control
Approve the outline first
Nothing is written until you've reviewed and edited the sections and lessons.
Edit everything
Every generated block can be edited, reordered or removed, like one you added yourself.
Review before you publish
AI can make mistakes. Check the draft, then send a reviewer link to a subject matter expert.
Regenerate when sources change
On Pro and Team, rebuild a course from updated material.
