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.
