Mini Course Generator
Short interactive courses from a document or video, buildable from an AI assistant
About Mini Course Generator
Mini Course Generator builds short interactive courses from material you already have. Feed it a document or a YouTube video and it produces a sequence of lesson pages with generated images, quizzes, interactive blocks and, at the end, badges and certificates for learners who finish. The emphasis is on the word mini: this is built for the twenty minute onboarding module, the lead-magnet course, the product training that has to exist by Friday, rather than for a semester of instruction.
The reason it belongs in a directory like this one is the interface, not the output. Mini Course Generator ships an MCP server and a ChatGPT plugin, which means a course can be built and edited from Claude or ChatGPT without opening the product at all. Very few authoring tools are addressable from an agent, and for anyone assembling a pipeline where content is produced programmatically that is a genuine differentiator rather than a marketing line. The company states more than 20,000 training providers use it. The pricing is the weak point: there is no free plan on the Creator tab, only trial buttons, and at $39 a month the entry point is the dearest of the course tools in this category. Annual billing is advertised as saving $120 on Plus and $240 on Pro, but the page prints no annual per-month or annual total figure, so this listing records the monthly prices only.
You start a course from a source - upload a document, paste a YouTube link, or describe the topic - and the AI course creator drafts the lesson pages, complete with images and quiz questions. Everything after that is a drag and drop block builder: you reorder pages, swap blocks, adjust layout and add interactive elements, educational games or community discussion boards moderated by AI. When the course is ready you decide who sees it. Courses can be public, gated behind email verification, invitation-only on the Pro tier, or sold, with payment going directly to you. Delivery is by shared link, embed, or a landing page hosted on your own custom domain. Pro adds certifications, AI translation of a finished course into other languages, webhooks for pushing learner activity into a CRM, and export to dynamic SCORM for customers who need to run the course inside their own LMS.

Training providers, consultants and creators who ship short courses regularly and want the first draft generated, and anyone building an automated content pipeline who would rather drive the tool from an agent than click through it. The learner allowances are annual while the AI credits are monthly, which is awkward to plan against: 500 learners a year on Plus is the real ceiling, not the credits. It is the wrong choice if you want to try before paying, since there is no free plan, and if you only need one course a year the price per course is hard to justify. Of the three course builders in this category it is the most expensive to start and the most interesting to automate.
