Behind the Scenes: How We Built AI Course Drafts

AI Course Drafts is here — a powerful new feature that helps you turn a spark of an idea into a structured course in minutes. But how did it come together?

In this behind-the-scenes video, the product team shares the journey: from early brainstorming sessions and code-names like “Concept of Course,” to the decision to evolve beyond the dream of a “magic PDF upload,” and finally to a feature that truly balances AI’s capabilities with human creativity.

What you’ll see in this video:

  • The origin story — how a simple idea became a feature that helps creators move faster.
  • The real challenges — what we learned when pushing AI beyond the hype. 
  • The evolution of the name — why “AI Course Drafts” captures both speed and possibility.
  • The human element — why AI alone isn’t enough, and how you’re always in the driver’s seat.

Before there was this dream that you could just upload a PDF and magically have the perfect course, but it’s not that simple. AI is magic, but AI does require assistance from the human.
