AI Content Generation

LearnBuilder's Creator Agent can generate an entire course structure — outlines, lesson content, and individual blocks — from a short description of your learning objectives. You review and refine; the AI does the heavy lifting.

How it works

AI generation follows a multi-stage pipeline:

1. Describe -> 2. Generate outline -> 3. Generate content -> 4. Generate media

Stage 1: Describe your course

When creating a new course or opening AI generation, you provide:

• Learning objective — what learners should be able to do
• Target audience — who the course is for
• Tone and style — formal, conversational, scenario-based, etc.
• Language — the language you want content generated in

Stage 2: Generate an outline

The Creator Agent produces a structured outline:

• Course title and description
• Suggested lessons with titles and learning goals
• Recommended block types per lesson

Review the proposed lessons and structure. You can accept it as-is, edit lesson titles or descriptions, or regenerate with different parameters. Click Create Lessons to turn the outline into actual lessons in your course.

Stage 3: Generate lesson content

Once the outline is approved, you can generate content for individual lessons or the entire course:

• The agent creates appropriate blocks (text, video scripts, quizzes, dialogues)
• Content is scoped to the lesson's learning goal
• If you've uploaded Knowledge Files, the agent uses them as source material

Stage 4: Generate media

After content is generated, the pipeline continues with media generation:

• Illustrative images — AI generates images for content cells marked with image prompts
• Talking videos — lip-synced character videos are generated from script blocks (requires a main character photo)
• Interactive slideshows — AI builds full interactive simulations from suggestions embedded in the content

Each stage runs automatically in sequence. You can monitor progress and review results as they complete.

Tip: Knowledge Files dramatically improve generation quality. Upload PDFs, Word docs, or PowerPoints related to your topic before generating. See Knowledge Files.

Block type presets

Before generating, configure block type presets in course settings to control the mix of content the AI creates:

The AI enforces content variety regardless of preset — it will never generate more than 2 text blocks in a row.

Talking video generation

When the Creator Agent generates video blocks, it can create talking-head videos — lip-synced videos of a character speaking a script.

Requirements:

• A main character photo must be set in course settings (or provided per video block)
• A voice must be selected for the character

How it works:

1. The AI writes a script based on the lesson content
2. ElevenLabs text-to-speech generates the audio
3. Freepik lip sync animates the character portrait
4. VTT subtitles are auto-generated from the script

Scene variation: Each talking video can include a scene variation prompt that changes the character's background, clothing, or setting. This prevents visual repetition when a course has multiple talking videos.

Interactive slideshow generation

The Creator Agent can auto-generate Interactive Slides blocks — full simulations with slides, elements, triggers, actions, and scoring.

During content generation, the AI may suggest interactive simulations based on the lesson topic. These suggestions are then built out automatically:

1. The AI designs the simulation structure (slides, elements, layout)
2. Triggers and actions are wired up for interactivity
3. Scoring is configured with score, maxScore, and passingScore
4. The result is a fully functional interactive slideshow ready for review

You can also generate interactive slideshows manually using the Generate with AI wizard on any Interactive Slides block.

Generating individual blocks

You can trigger generation at the block level inside any lesson:

1. Click Add Block
2. Select a block type
3. Click the Generate with AI option
4. Describe what you want, then confirm

Refining generated content

AI-generated content is editable — treat it as a first draft:

• Click any block to edit text, questions, or settings
• Regenerate a single block without affecting others
• Adjust tone, length, or focus as needed

AI credits

AI generation consumes credits from your plan's monthly allowance. Pay-as-you-go is available on the Free plan.
