What your AI can do with your course

Once your AI chat is connected, you can ask it to create a course, look at your courses and change them in plain language. This lists what it can actually do.

Before you start

Connect your AI chat first: Connect Claude with a connector (web, desktop and mobile), the recommended method, Connect Claude Desktop manually with an access token, Connect ChatGPT with a custom MCP server, or Connect Perplexity with a custom MCP connector. Creating and editing courses needs a connection created with read-and-edit access.

The New connection form with the Access drop-down set to Read and edit highlighted
Choose Read and edit when you create the connection, so your AI chat can change courses.

What your AI can read

  • List your courses, and show the modules, lessons and content brief of one.
  • Read the content of one lesson - blocks, quiz, scenario or raw HTML.
  • List a lesson's stored previous versions.
  • List reviewer comments left on your share links, and see which lesson and fragment each one points at.

What your AI can change

  • Create a course: starts a new course in the Interactive book format, optionally with its whole table of contents and lesson drafts in one go. Your AI asks you which language the course should be in. This works on every plan, but your plan's course limit still applies; when you reach it, LMSable refuses with a message such as "The Free plan includes 1 course. Delete a course or upgrade to Pro to create a new one."
  • Add a lesson: creates an empty lesson, ready to fill with text, an interaction or a quiz.
  • Delete a lesson: takes a backup snapshot of the whole course first.
  • Rewrite a block, or edit part of a lesson: up to 10 pointed edits in one call - replacing text, changing a field, inserting or deleting a block.
  • Replace a lesson's whole content: the block document or the interactive HTML.
  • Change a lesson's title, section title or material type, without touching its content.
  • Reorder the lessons in a course.
  • Restore a lesson to a previous version.
  • Mark a reviewer's comment as resolved, after fixing what it points at.
  • Find and add stock photos to a lesson, when stock photos are enabled on your account.

Every change your AI makes to a lesson's content saves a version of the lesson first, so you can always undo it.

What your AI cannot do

  • It cannot act without you asking - nothing leaves your account unless you ask a question in the chat.
  • It cannot create a Presentation course. A Presentation is built from a PDF you upload in the Course Builder, so create it there: Create a course and describe it.
  • It cannot bypass your plan's limits, such as the number of courses you can have or the number of lessons a course may have.
  • It cannot edit an archived course. Editing works on every plan, but on Free only your active course can be edited; a request to change any other course is refused with "This course is archived because your account exceeds the Free plan limit. Upgrade to Pro to edit it, or make it your active course." A read-only connection is refused with a "Denied" message about the missing scope.

What you should see

A course your AI creates appears in My courses straight away. When your AI edits a lesson, reopening it in LMSable shows the new content immediately.

If something goes wrong

  • "This lesson changed" appears when you save a lesson in LMSable: someone, or your AI chat, changed it elsewhere. Choose Reload lesson to see the latest version - your unsaved edits are then lost. Choose Keep editing to stay where you are and copy your changes somewhere safe first.
  • The AI reports it cannot save: the lesson changed since it last read it. Ask it to re-read the lesson and try again.
  • An edit did not turn out the way you wanted: ask your AI to list the lesson's versions and restore the previous one. LMSable has no lesson version list of its own; the Versions section of the Export step restores the whole course.
