Features

DEV3 AI Course Builder is an add-on for Tutor LMS and LearnDash (and works without any LMS).

  • Sources: a topic, a pasted outline (Markdown headings, numbered or bulleted lists) or an uploaded PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown file.
  • Course tree editor: sections, lessons, topics and quizzes; add, rename, reorder, delete; lesson content with live preview; question editor for 8 question types.
  • Review first: nothing is created in your LMS until you click Create course. Every DEV3 AI result is a draft you accept, edit or reject.
  • Background creation with progress, retry and undo build.
  • Tutor LMS: courses, topics, lessons and quizzes with questions saved in Tutor's own tables.
  • LearnDash: courses, lessons, topics, quizzes (ProQuiz questions), course builder steps, section headings and a certificate.
  • No LMS: a parent course page with child lesson pages, self-check quiz pages and a certificate page.
  • Quiz generator for lessons you already have, and a lesson rewriter (simplify, expand, examples, shorten, clarity, tone, reading level, translate) with undo.
  • Course Certificate block and [dev3lm_certificate course="ID"] shortcode: printable certificate for learners who completed the course.
  • Works with DEV3 AI switched off: outline import, template outlines, manual editing, basic (heuristic) quiz questions and description/certificate templates.

A Google AI API key is needed for the DEV3 AI features. You pay Google for usage; Google offers a free tier. A monthly budget cap is built in.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer (tested up to 6.8)
  • PHP 7.4 or newer
  • Optional: your own Google AI API key (from Google AI Studio) to switch on the DEV3 AI features. The rest of the plugin works without one.

FAQ

Do I need LearnDash or Tutor LMS?

No. Without an LMS the course is created as WordPress pages.

Is anything published automatically?

No. You review the course tree first, and created items use the status you choose (Draft by default).

Can I undo a course creation?

Yes. Undo build moves everything the build created to the trash (or deletes it permanently).

Which data is sent to Google?

Only the topic/outline/document text (capped in Settings) and the lesson text you ask DEV3 AI to work on.
