# Generate a partner course with AI

> Turn a prompt or an uploaded deck into a full course draft, then refine, configure, and make it available.

> For enablement teams who want a complete first draft of a reseller or technical course without building it chapter by chapter.

Building a course the traditional way takes weeks of outlining, writing, and sourcing artwork, and that is the single biggest reason partner education stalls. Generating with AI collapses that into roughly an hour: you describe the goal and audience (and optionally hand over a deck or PDF you already have), Introw drafts the whole course, and you refine and configure it. This guide takes you from a prompt to a course partners can take.

## What you'll achieve

A full course - outline, modules, chapters, banner image, and description - drafted by AI from a short prompt and an optional attachment, then refined in the builder, configured (AI tutor, passing score, certificate), and made available so partners can enroll.

## Before you start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm access">
    You need write access to Courses, and AI features must be enabled for your organisation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare your input">
    Write a one-paragraph prompt describing the course goal and audience. Optionally have a source file ready to upload (a deck, PDF, or document up to 10MB).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the AI course creator">
    Go to [Courses](https://app.introw.io/courses) and select **Create course**. The create screen opens with the AI course creator front and center.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the course">
    Tell the AI what to build. You have two ways to start, and you can combine them:

    * **Prompt** - write what the course should teach, for whom, and what good looks like. For example: "A course that teaches resellers how to pitch our platform, handle the top three objections, and run a 10-minute demo." The more specific the audience and outcomes, the better the draft.
    * **Preset** - pick a starter like **Sales Training**, **Technical Support**, or **Product Training** to pre-fill a detailed prompt about your organisation that you can then edit.
    * **Attachment** - optionally attach a deck or document (PDF, text, markdown, CSV, or JSON, up to 10MB) so the AI grounds the course in material you already have.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start generation">
    Submit. Introw creates the course immediately and shows a **Generating** status while it drafts the outline, modules, chapters, banner image, and description in the background. Larger attachments take a little longer; the status updates on its own when it finishes.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine the draft in the builder">
    When generation finishes, the course opens in the builder. Select **Edit** in the course header to make changes, then review every module and chapter, edit the content, reorder or remove anything that does not fit, and add your own chapters, videos, or assessments. The draft is a starting point, not a finished course; treat it as one. See [Build a partner course from scratch](./build-a-course-manually) for the full builder reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the course">
    With the course open in edit mode, select **Configure** to open the **Update course** dialog and set the course-wide options: the **AI Agent** tab (the in-course AI tutor and its welcome message, on by default), the **Advanced** tab (a due date and minimum passing score), the **Certificate** tab (auto-issue a credential on completion), and the **Enrollment** tab (auto-enroll segments). Select **Save Changes**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make it available to partners">
    Preview the course as a partner, then enroll a cohort by hand or turn on automatic enrollment to take it live. A course stays **Draft** until it has its first enrollment or auto-enrollment is on, at which point it automatically becomes **Active** - there is no separate publish step.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

The course leaves **Generating** and shows generated modules and chapters, a banner image, and a one-line description. The AI tutor can immediately answer learner questions about the new material, and once a partner is enrolled the course status flips to **Active**.
