Sources overview
Coassemble builds courses from content you already have: documents, presentations, and files in your cloud storage. AI turns your source material into an interactive course.
You don't have to start from a blank page. Coassemble can build a course from content you already have, using AI to turn your source material into interactive, mobile-responsive screens. The clearer and better-structured your starting file, the better the result.
What you can build from
- Documents: transform a document (like a Word file or PDF) into a course, and AI breaks your content into logical screens.
- Presentations: convert your existing slides into a course, so you can reuse a deck rather than starting over.
- A prompt: if you don't have a file, describe your topic and AI generates a course from scratch.
- Files in your cloud storage: pull source documents straight from Google Drive or OneDrive.
Get the best results
AI works from the structure of your source file, so a little preparation goes a long way:
- Use clear headings and bullet points, which help AI interpret hierarchy and flow.
- For PDFs, use real, text-based files rather than scans, so the text can be read.
- Think of your file as a first draft, you'll refine the generated course in the editor afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a file to create a course?
No. You can build from a document or presentation you already have, pull a file from cloud storage, or just describe your topic in a prompt.
What file types can I use?
Common document and presentation formats, including PDF, Word, PowerPoint, text, and rich text files. Document transformation has a 50MB file size limit.
Will the generated course be final?
No. AI gives you a strong first draft. You then refine the text, images, and screens in the editor.
