# Create a course with AI

## Generate a Course with AI from a Document

{% hint style="warning" %}
Courses **generated with AI** require a **document upload**.
{% endhint %}

Follow these steps to create a course using AI:&#x20;

1. **Click the + Button from** the left navigation bar.
2. **Select "With AI" in** the menu that appears.&#x20;
3. **Upload Your Document** in one of the supported formats: Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF. You can also drag and drop the file into the upload area or click to select it from your device.&#x20;

***

## File format requirements&#x20;

* **Word** files must be in **.docx** format (older .doc files are not supported)&#x20;
* **PDF** files&#x20;
* **PowerPoint** files must be in **.pptx** format (not .ppt). &#x20;

**All files must not exceed 25 MB**, regardless of the file type.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**PowerPoint files**

We recommend **exporting PowerPoint files to PDF** whenever possible.&#x20;

This ensures better performance and faster processing, as PowerPoint files often contain hidden elements that increase file size unnecessarily.
{% endhint %}

## **Structure Your Document for Best Results**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Our AI performs best with documents that:**

* Contain mostly text
* Follow a clear and logical structure
* Include clear titles and subheadings
* Use consistent formatting throughout
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**It may not work well with documents that:**

* Contain little text
* Rely heavily on images
* Include a lot of text embedded in images
* Contain text that only makes sense when paired with an image
  {% endhint %}

## How our AI works

Regardless of the document format, our AI will:

1. **Scan the document** using advanced document intelligence
2. **Break the content** into micro-chapters
3. For each chapter, assign a title, select the most suitable lesson type, and **generate the lesson**

This process ensures that each section of your content is structured, easy to follow, and optimized for learning.

***

## Fill in the Course Details

Once your file is uploaded, complete the required fields in the form:&#x20;

* **Title** \
  Enter the name of the course.&#x20;
* **Description** \
  Write a short summary to describe the course’s content and purpose.&#x20;
* **Document Language** \
  Select the language of the uploaded document from the dropdown menu.&#x20;
* **Category** \
  Choose the appropriate category for the course (e.g., Legal, Procedure, Safety, etc.).&#x20;
* **Lesson Types** \
  Choose the lesson formats to be generated. All types are automatically selected by default. \
  To exclude one or more formats, untick the corresponding option.

{% endhint %}

## Generate the Course

Once all information is filled in, click the “**Generate with AI**” button to start the process.&#x20;

You’ll be redirected automatically to the **Company Learnings** page.&#x20;

* The course will now appear at the top of your course list, showing a series of statuses (Pending, Starting, Generating, and Finalizing). These statuses will change automatically.
* The process may take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the length and complexity of the uploaded document.&#x20;

***

## View Your Course

Once the status changes to **Draft**, the course is ready to view. Click anywhere on the course row to open it and view the generated lessons one by one.

## Add Lessons &#x20;

After generating the course, can manually add lessons to an AI-generated course in two ways:

1. **Using AI**, by selecting a specific chapter from the document to generate a lesson
2. **From scratch**, by manually choosing the lesson type and adding your own content

## Edit, Delete or Move lessons

Once lessons have been added to a course, you can manage them individually by editing, deleting, or rearranging them.
