# Create a Course with AI

### Overview

The AI course creation tool aides the instructional design process, allowing admins and instructors to transform prompts and raw files into structured learning experiences in minutes.

To use this feature, specific administrative settings must be enabled:

* **Create with AI**: Navigate to **Admin Portal > Domain > AI Settings** and toggle Create with AI to ON.
* **Learn Module**: Ensure the Learn module is enabled under **Admin Portal > Domain > Modules**.

***

### Creating a Full Course

Network Admins and LMS Admins can generate comprehensive course drafts from the global Compose menu or directly from the Files module.

**Prompt-Based Generation**: Provide a prompt (up to 2,000 characters) or use one of the out-of-the-box prompt templates.

**File-to-Chapter Conversion**: Attach up to 10 files (max 100MB each). The AI automatically converts each file into a specific chapter type:

* **DOCX/Google Docs**: Content chapters with structured text and AI-generated images.
* **PDF/PPTX**: Presentation chapters.
* **Video (MP4/WAV)**: Video chapters with auto-generated transcripts (for videos under 60 minutes).
* **Automated Quizzes**: In the Advanced Quiz Settings, choose to generate quizzes after each chapter or a cumulative quiz at the end of the course.

Course generation happens in the background. You will receive a private message from the MangoApps Helper once your course is ready for review. You may **only** have one active AI course request at a time.

### Creating Individual Chapters

Instructors and Admins can use AI to add specific chapters to an existing course via the Add Chapter dialog.
