Everything CourseForge can do, in plain language.

Build

Create courses with AI, import them from material you already have, or write them by hand. Everything ends up in the same editor.

Teach

An AI version of you presents lessons, and AI assistants answer your students' questions in your style.

Sell and grow

Courses, bundles and memberships with Stripe, a community, live events, analytics and leads that flow into your CRM.

Brand and run

Your logo, colours and domain, with safe publishing controls and the option to run several academies from one account.

Academy Assistant

Type or talk to the assistant in your dashboard. It asks clarifying questions, plans the course, writes the lessons in parallel and shows progress as it goes. You can cancel, retry or continue at any point.

"Build me a 5-module course on pricing for freelance designers."

AI course wizard

Give a topic and a blueprint and the course is generated in the background with a progress bar. Or generate single lessons from a title and your source text, preview them and combine them into a course.

One-click AI on any lesson

Generate lesson notes, a quiz, a summary, a hero image or narration with one click. "Generate media" fills every missing image and audio file in a course at once.

Connect your own AI tools

Use Claude, Claude Code or Cursor to build directly in your academy. Paste a token and they can create courses, modules, lessons, rich notes, quizzes, module exams, categories, worksheets, documents, visuals and narration.

Course descriptions and posters

Let AI rewrite a course description and create an "at a glance" poster that sums up a lesson.

Video and teaching scripts

Get a script for a five-minute lesson video, with b-roll ideas, saved to Google Docs. Or a teaching script written in your own style.

PDF to course

Upload a PDF and its chapters become modules and its sections become lessons. Figures are kept, quizzes are imported and the text stays word for word.

Word files and worksheets

• A Word file becomes lesson notes.
• A worksheet PDF becomes a fillable exercise.

Quizzes and existing courses

• Import quiz questions from a CSV or PDF.
• Bring in course exports from Katalyst CRM and other GoHighLevel-based platforms.
• Older lesson notes are converted to the block editor.

Students in bulk

Give a whole spreadsheet of students access at once. A pre-check shows what will happen to each person before anything changes.

Structure

Modules, drag-and-drop lessons, sub-lessons, inline renaming, duplicating and a preview of what students see.

46 content blocks

Grouped into text and layout, lists and steps, learning (definitions, flashcards, FAQs), worksheets, planning, media, and process blocks such as step-by-step procedures, decisions, roles and checklists.

Video

Upload a video or use Vimeo, Google Drive or YouTube. Protected videos carry the student's name and email as a watermark and can't be downloaded. Videos are transcribed automatically.

Quizzes and exams

Show a quiz as a Take Quiz button, as its own step in the sidebar or inline in the lesson. Set pass marks, shuffle questions, write questions with AI and add module-end exams. Final exams can use AI questions and give a result summary.

Completion rules

• Make quizzes mandatory.
• Require a minimum share of a video to be watched, with checks against skipping.
• Stop students skipping ahead and unlock lessons in order.

Certificates

Your own certificate design with a QR code and a public page where anyone can check it is real. Accredible credential IDs are supported.

Documents and resources

Worksheets, checklists, guides and handouts, written in the editor or by AI, with version history and export to PDF or Word.

Interactive exercises

Students fill in exercises that save as they type, upload photos and submit. You review submissions and download them as PDFs.

Lesson extras

Link cards to other lessons, "Inspiration Corner" tabs with worked examples, and show or hide any section of a lesson.

Translations

Translate a course with AI. Each language is published separately and can have its own video.

Organising courses

Categories with thumbnails, ordering and bulk assignment; course groups and tracks; bundles; and a members-only library.

Test as a student

Walk through a course exactly as a student would, then restart as a new student to test it again.

An AI avatar of you

Upload a headshot, record a voice sample and give consent. CourseForge clones your voice, builds a talking-head avatar and makes a test video. Then it produces lesson videos of about 90 seconds.

Choose between several video engines, keep several versions, switch or pause them, and generate a whole course's videos from one page.

Your teaching voice

Teach the AI how you explain things, from text, PDFs, Word files, audio or video. Your style then shapes the chatbot, the lesson tutor, the avatar scripts, teaching scripts and AI-written documents.

Lesson tutor

A tutor inside every lesson that has read the lesson, including descriptions of its images. It remembers each student, steps aside during quizzes, and can answer from your AI Brain.

Learns from your content

Feed it files, text or your academy's courses.

Looks and sounds like you

Set its name, greeting, colours, avatar, personality, rules and starter questions.

Chat, voice and embed

Typed chat or live voice calls. Put it on any website with one line of code, and capture leads from the conversation.

Gets better over time

The Insights tab lists questions it couldn't answer, and "Teach the brain" fixes them.

Website assistant

A branded chat and voice widget you can put on any of your sites.

Answers questions about your academy

Ask about sales, progress and results in plain words.

"Who's stuck?"  "What sells best?"

Builds and edits courses

Creates and edits draft courses for you. You can hang up while it works and it rings you back when it's done.

Remembers you

Keeps your chats and preferences, with a persona and voice you choose.

Lesson media

AI hero banners, narration in a standard AI voice, and motion graphics over lesson videos.

AI credits

AI work uses credits. Top up by card, see your history and a usage page by feature, and set a daily AI budget for connected AI tools.

Their own dashboard

A branded course catalog, course pages and lesson player, My Dashboard, favourites, "continue where you left off", progress and My certifications.

Community

A feed with posts, images, nested comments, reactions, pinning, categories, moderation and profiles.

Live events

Events with registration. The join link only shows to students who registered. Calendars sync with Katalyst CRM.

Help inside the lesson

Narration, the lesson tutor and a floating call to action, for example to book a call or join your next program.

Comfortable to use

A language switcher, light and dark mode, guided tours, a welcome flow and a welcome email.

On any phone

An installable phone app, Continue with Google, sign-up with an email code, and a forced password change for accounts you create.

Course reports

Enrollments, certifications, engagement, course performance, quiz results, where students drop off in a lesson, student progress, inactive students and course completion side by side. You can also ask for any of them through the Academy Assistant or your own AI tools.

Access monitoring

Your brand

Brand name, light and dark logos, colours, the wording on your login and signup pages, your certificate design and the languages you offer.

Your web address

Every academy gets its own subdomain straight away. Custom domains are checked for you, and you choose which address is the main one.

Landing page editor

Start from a template or import your own HTML, edit visually and add ready-made sections. You can also use your own HTML for the landing, login and signup pages, with a preview.

Branded everywhere

Legal pages carry your brand name, and emails, voice agents and chat widgets all use your branding.

AI never publishes on its own

Everything the AI makes is a draft. Publishing needs a separate permission and a clear yes.

Built to stay up
