Throughout 2024, the most requested feature from us was the ability to turn resources into mini-courses, where the content output is within the context of content referred.

This feature comes with more technical challenges due to the optimization in vector databases compared to guiding AI with prompts without sticking to specific content.

During the last months, we released beta versions and gathered feedback. In addition to the optimization, it became apparent that customization and personal touch are just as important as the content output itself.

Now, we are ready and excited to show our approach.

Let's dive into the details and differences compared to alternatives.

1- The foremost: the content output itself

Although there are tools that offer "PDF2Course" ability, the output's relevancy and depth usually stay under the quality threshold in most solutions. We believe that seeing is believing, hence we kindly suggest you upload your resource to alternative tools as well as to Mini Course Generator and make a direct benchmark. While evaluating, please check whether the output is within the context of your document, reduced repetitions, relevant to your resource, and assess the depth of the content.

2- Specifying focus to be laser-sharp

PDFs you upload may include many subtopics although you want a specific part to be referred. You can define which sub-topic(s) should be used as a basis.

3- Specifying audience and the tone

Out of the same resource, you may want to generate different mini-courses for separate cohorts. You can customize this by setting the tone and defining the target audience.

4- Customizing AI images

Although generating AI images alongside with course creators is not a novel feature, usually the generated images are far from satisfactory. To make AI generate images as close as possible to what you plan in your mind, we offer 2 customization options:

• You can set the style of the images, like "cinematic," "bokeh," etc. from the list or you can define your own if not listed.

• You can define the demography of the people in the images, like "men over 50s living in Scandinavian region".

5- Adding quiz and feedback questions

You can set the number of quiz questions to be added for the comprehension check and add feedback questions for more interaction.

Once you upload your PDF(s) and customize options, you'll get an outline where you're free to make any changes like adding/editing/removing pages and sections. After you confirm the outline, you get the mini-course, and again, with the drag & drop builder you can easily proceed to finalize by adding your personal touches and unique know-how.
