AI · With your learners

Personalised support, built into every course.

Practice conversations, graded essays, in-course chat, and rich simulations - configured by you, running on your course content. Each learner gets feedback that responds to their answer, not a canned message.

AI dialogue

Immersive conversations scenarios.

Simulate difficult leadership decisions, tough sales calls, or complex customer interactions with multi-turn dialogues that react to the learner's choices. Choose between visual scenarios with character portraits or text-only chat, and provide rich feedback.

  • • Multi-turn conversations, based on the learner's input
  • • Character portraits across emotions, generated for you
  • • Personalised feedback based on the learner's performance
AI dialogue stage cycling through several scenario moments
Open-ended assessment

Essay grading with rubric-grounded feedback

Open-ended questions don't have to be a black hole. Define a rubric or model answer; the AI grades each submission with specific, principled feedback - what was strong, what was missing, where in the course to look next.

  • • Per-rubric scoring with reasons
  • • Specific feedback per learner - never a canned message
  • • Author-tunable strictness, passing threshold, and tone
Essay grading view cycling through rubric criteria, scoring, and feedback
Course-scoped chat

A help button on every lesson, grounded in your content

Learners ask questions in their own words. The AI answers using only your course material - never the open internet - and points to the slide where the answer lives so learners can verify and dig deeper.

  • • No off-topic drift, no hallucinated facts
  • • Cites the lesson + section every time
  • • Per-course toggle - turn it off for compliance-sensitive content

Authored simulations

Rich, branching simulations from a paragraph of plain text

Describe a scenario - "you're a triage nurse with three patients arriving at once" - and the AI builds the interactive simulation with branching, decisions, consequences, and feedback. Authors stay in plain language; learners get a Storyline-grade experience.

  • • Decisions, variables, and outcomes wired automatically
  • • Edit the underlying flow at any point - nothing is locked
  • • Reuses the same dialogue and assessment infrastructure for grading

A full walkthrough — outline, lessons, AI dialogue, interactive slides, and publishing.

AI · Course designer

From a brief to a course, in five steps.

The AI grounds every course in your material, your audience, and your design choices. You stay in the driving seat at each step - change direction, switch language, swap blocks, or take it manual at any point.

Step 01

Upload materials and shape the brief

Drop the documents, slides, PDFs, or recordings the course should be built on. Add a short brief - what to focus on, what the goal is, what to leave out. The AI grounds the course in your material instead of generic content.

Upload materials and brief screen of the AI course designer
Step 02

Describe the audience

Tell the AI who is learning and why: their experience level, their context (compliance refresher, sales kick-off, new-hire onboarding), and what they need to do differently afterwards. Tone, examples, and pacing shift to match.

  • • Experience level - newcomer through expert
  • • Learning context and the role the learner plays
  • • Motivation and the change you want to see
Audience definition screen - experience level, context, motivation
Step 03

Pick language and image style

Generate the course end-to-end in any of 60 supported languages - UI, content, narration, and image prompts. Choose an image style so visuals share a consistent look across every lesson.

  • • 60 languages, including regional variants
  • • Photographic, illustrated, line-art, or brand-matched styles
Language and image-style selection screen
Step 04

Turn on storytelling

Optional. When enabled, the course is built around a recurring case or character whose situation threads through every lesson - and the same character appears consistently in the generated visuals, so learners see the same protagonist across every illustration. Turns a list of topics into a narrative learners actually finish.

Storytelling toggle and case-based course framing with a recurring character
Step 05

Choose approach, density, and block types

Pick the instructional design approach (scenario-led, exposition, problem-based, drill-and-practice). Set content density (lean, balanced, deep). Tick the block types you want the AI to use. The AI respects your call - it never imposes a shape you didn't pick.

  • • Four instructional design approaches
  • • Three density levels - from quick refresher to deep dive
  • • Per-block opt-in: video, quiz, scenario, drag-drop, flashcards, interactive slides, more
Instructional approach, density, and block-type selection

Build your learning based on proven design principles.

Most tools treat learning science as decoration. We treat it as the spec. Every block type, every template, every AI prompt has a principle it's trying to honour.

01

Retrieval practice

Cue-point questions pause videos at author-set timestamps. Flashcards run a spaced-repetition schedule learners resume across sessions. Every quiz block reports per-item performance.

→ Roediger & Karpicke, 2006
02

Branching scenarios

Variables, triggers, and conditional states without manually wiring each path. Describe the scenario in plain text; the simulation block builds the branching for you.

→ Clark & Mayer, e-Learning & the Science of Instruction
03

Constructive engagement

Open-ended responses get rubric-graded feedback in seconds. Drag-and-drop, hotspots, and dialogue blocks ask learners to produce, not just recognise.

→ Chi's ICAP framework
04

Multimedia learning

Talking-head videos, generated illustrations, narrated audio, and rich text live as first-class blocks - not embeds in a slide. Every lesson can mix all four.

→ Mayer, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning
AI · Your call

AI is optional. You decide where.

AI shows up in five places across LearnBuilder — and each one is independently switchable. Use it everywhere, nowhere, or only where your governance allows.

EU data residency

Text AI runs on EU infrastructure. Media generation is global.

Course outlines, lesson copy, AI tutoring, and AI-graded feedback route through EU-hosted providers when EU mode is on — GDPR-compliant, no transatlantic data transfer. Image, video, and voice generation use US-hosted providers (the EU options aren't viable yet); switch media generation off if your data classification rules require strict EU-only processing — every media block still works with assets you upload yourself.

Author · Structure

Course creation

Generate a full outline, lesson order, and learning objectives from a brief and the materials you upload. AI applies instructional-design heuristics so the result is teachable, not just a list of topics.

Control

Use the AI wizard, the manual builder, or start with AI and edit by hand. The brief, audience, story angle, and continuity rules stay your call.

Author · Text

Content creation

Draft narrative copy, examples, quiz items, and explanations grounded in your source documents. Continuity rules pin the protagonist, tone, and lexicon across lessons so the voice stays consistent.

Control

Per-block "Generate" and "Enhance" buttons sit next to manual editing. Turn off the AI buttons account-wide if you want a fully manual authoring surface.

Author · Media

Media creation

Generate images, keyframe videos, voiceovers, music, and sound effects from the lesson context, or pick from a stock library. Image style and main-character look stay consistent across the course.

Control

Disable AI media generation per account; every media block still accepts uploads or stock-library picks. Useful when data governance excludes US-hosted media providers.

Learner · Experience

Learner experience

An AI tutor answers questions in context, an AI dialogue partner role-plays scenarios, and a learning coach recommends next steps across a learner's catalogue.

Control

Tutor toggles per course; dialogue blocks are added explicitly; learning coach toggles per account. Default OFF — learners only meet AI where you placed it.

Learner · Assessment

Assessments & feedback

AI grades free-text answers against a rubric you write, gives feedback in the learner's language, and the calibration agent samples results so a human verifies what AI marked.

Control

Per-question grading is opt-in; auto-grading without human review is rejected by default for high-stakes assessments. Audit log records every AI mark.

Every AI feature has an account-level off switch — no AI is forced on you.
BYOK on Enterprise — route AI calls through your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Azure key.
Audit log captures who triggered which AI action, on which course, when.

Author here. Deliver here.

Most AI authoring tools build the course, then hand you off to an external LMS to deliver it. LearnBuilder skips the handoff - enrolment, progress, completion, certificates and revenue all live in the same canvas where you authored.

01

Enrolment & access

Click Share on the course, pick one of five access levels - from "Private - Draft" to "Public on the web". Invitation-only courses take a pasted email list and send each invitee a magic link with an expiry date. Paid courses bill through Stripe at the enrolment step.

02

Progress & resume

Per-learner, per-lesson, per-block. Pick up where you left off mid-video, mid-quiz, mid-dialogue.

03

Cohorts & groups

Group learners by team, role or course. Assign courses at the group level and track progress per group.

04

Certificates

Optional, per course. Set a passing score. Anyone who passes downloads a PDF with their name, course title, date and a verification URL anyone can open to check the certificate is real.

05

SCORM & LTI delivery

Export a SCORM 1.2 package for any existing LMS. Or run courses as LTI 1.3 tools so any LTI-compliant LMS - Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard - launches them directly.

06

Analytics & export

Course-level completion rate, average score, learners by status, and per-lesson completion bars. The Learners tab adds a searchable table with CSV export.

Collaboration, accessibility, reach, and revenue built in.

Team workflows

Create edit and amend as a team.

Concurrent editing with team members synchronised on block level. Let reviewers add threaded comments you can resolve inline. No more Google Doc outlines running alongside the course.
