Course creators can now generate richer, more accurate courses from multiple sources while maintaining much greater editorial control over instructional design. These updates ensure that CYPHER Agent maintains its place as the industry’s leading AI course creation agent.
Human-designed, AI generated
Course creators have more visibility into, and control over, course design than ever before! The updated step by step generation process lets you provide input at every stage of course creation to steer the process. This provides significantly greater control over the final course design while still leveraging AI-powered instructional design and content generation.
Creators can now design:
- Course interpretation: Agent will propose three course interpretation candidates for you to choose, or you can edit a candidate to better align with course objectives.
- Course focus: In this step Agent will suggest areas of focus based on the source material. You can confirm or adjust the course's primary and secondary focus, and identify any topics that should be excluded from the course content.
- Story arc: Provide a ‘narrative spine’ to the course and choose, or edit, the option that best creates your desired learning journey.
- Catalog description: Review and edit the short description, long description, and keywords that will be displayed in the course catalog.
New ‘review and polish’ step
We’ve added a new Review and polish step that runs after section content is generated. During this step, CYPHER Agent performs a final review of the course, identifying potential errors and suggesting minor improvements to enhance clarity, consistency, and overall flow. Creators can review each proposed change and choose to accept, edit, or reject the change. This extra step further enhances the quality of the course content.

Extras
Multiple source files
We’ve added the ability to select multiple files as the source material for your course, enabling you to combine content separate files into one cohesive course. Supported file formats include .txt, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx and .mp4.
Smarter skills, module, and page generation
Creators can now opt to have CYPHER Agent determine the optimal course structure based on the topic, course style, and desired course duration rather than specifying the exact number of skills, modules, and pages per module.
Better course intros and conclusions
Course introductions and final sections now include more context, helping create a more welcoming opening and a stronger conclusion.
Better, smarter images
We’ve upgraded the image generator to the latest image model, delivering higher-quality AI-generated images with improved efficiency. Images are also more consistent and cohesive throughout the course. Creates more professional-looking courses and reduces the time spent regenerating images.
Improved course vocabulary
CYPHER Agent now uses clearer, more approachable language by reducing overly formal or technical terms. This makes it easier for learners to understand the content and makes courses more accessible to a broader audience.
