AI course creation with learning science built in

An AI course builder that creates learning that adapts.

Give source material to your external AI agent. It writes lessons and practice problems with Graspful tools. Review the content and checks before you publish an adaptive course for your learners.

Build and validate locally. Sign in when you are ready to import or publish.

The workflow

From source material to a live course

Graspful gives AI agents a defined course schema and an exact review process. You stay in control of the source, structure, and final content.

Terminal
bun add -g @graspful/cli

graspful create course \
  --topic "Your subject" \
  --source "source-material.pdf" \
  --output course.yaml

# Ask your external agent to author lessons and problems.
# Check the source facts and answer keys.
graspful validate course.yaml
graspful review course.yaml
# Fix each failure and repeat these checks before import.
  1. 01

    Connect your AI agent

    Install the Graspful CLI or MCP server in Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

  2. 02

    Build the learning graph

    Your agent maps concepts, prerequisites, lessons, worked examples, and assessment problems from your source material.

  3. 03

    Validate course quality

    Ten automated checks assess content readiness, question variants, teaching alignment, and structure. Review the source facts and answers too.

  4. 04

    Publish adaptive learning

    Each learner receives a diagnostic, a personal learning path, mastery tracking, and timed review.

Built for outcomes

Generation is only the first step

A course needs a coherent learning sequence, enough practice, and evidence that each learner has mastered the foundations. Graspful checks the course before publishing and adapts it after launch.

  • A prerequisite graph instead of a flat module outline
  • Progressive knowledge points with worked examples
  • Multiple assessment types and quality checks
  • Adaptive diagnostics and mastery-based progression
  • Spaced review based on learner performance
  • A branded course site with learner progress tracking

AI course builder FAQ

What is an AI course builder?

An AI course builder turns a topic or source material into a structured course. Graspful adds a knowledge graph, quality validation, adaptive diagnostics, mastery tracking, and spaced review to the generated content.

Which AI agents work with Graspful?

Graspful works through a CLI and Model Context Protocol server. You can use it with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Can I build from a PDF or an existing document?

Yes. Give the document to your AI agent as the source of truth, then use Graspful to scaffold, fill, validate, and review the course. The agent reads the source while Graspful enforces the course schema and quality gates.

Does Graspful create video courses?

Graspful focuses on active learning. Courses use instruction, worked examples, practice problems, diagnostics, quizzes, and spaced review. Lessons can also include images, video, links, and callouts.

Do I need an account to try it?

Course scaffolding, authoring, validation, and review run locally without an account. Authentication is required when you import or publish a course.

How much does course creation cost?

Local authoring, validation, and review are free. Paid subscriptions are not available yet. The planned revenue split is 70% for the creator and 30% for Graspful, subject to completed billing setup.

Build a course your learners can master
