Generate Courses from PDF with AI

Prev Next

Thrive's AI-powered PDF course generator lets you quickly create a structured draft course by uploading a PDF. It’s ideal for subject matter experts (SMEs), learning managers, and teams who want to streamline content creation using existing materials.

  • Enable the Content Creator: Text Generation toggle in Configure > AI features.

  • This feature won’t impact existing workflows unless the toggle is switched on.

  • Manual course creation is still available and unaffected.

  1. Go to Manage > Collaborations and select the relevant collaboration.

  2. Go to Shared drafts > Create new Content to open the content creation screen.

  3. Click Upload a PDF, then click Next to access the Upload File screen.

  4. Select your PDF and click Upload.

Once the file is uploaded, Thrive AI guides you through:

  • Adding context, audience, learning outcomes, tone, and preferred length

  • Reviewing and refining the AI-generated course outline

Based on your input, Thrive AI generates a draft course that’s ready for further editing and collaboration.
