With the new conversational course creation (BETA), you now build courses in a dialogue with our AI agent Ellie – instead of clicking through settings tabs. Ellie asks short questions about your project and turns your answers into a fitting course structure, step by step.

💬 Create courses in a conversation: From idea to finished outline.

Ellie guides you through the entire course setup with short questions. Key capabilities include:

  • Question cards for audience, learning goals, scope, and style – answer with one click or type your own
  • Attached documents and videos are worked directly into the course
  • A fully editable course outline appears right next to the chat – rename, reorder, delete, and extend items
  • Generation only starts once you click "Confirm outline and generate course"

This solution is ideal for quickly turning existing source documents and videos into structured courses – without detours through multiple settings.

🔁 BETA with a choice: The classic flow stays available.

The new flow is active by default as a BETA – and you stay in control:

  • The conversational flow is enabled by default as a BETA
  • Use the toggle on the start screen to switch to the classic course creation
  • Switching back is possible anytime

This way you can try the new course creation at your own pace and return to the familiar process whenever needed.
