You can find more information on Generative AI in this article.

Configure the AI Assistant

To start configuring the AI Assistant, follow these steps:

  1. Select the "Let’s start!" button.
  2. Follow the configuration steps to personalize the Assistant based on your needs.

To configure the settings of your AI Assistant, follow the four steps below.

Enter training objectives

The AI Assistant uses the objectives you provide to guide the content generation. The more precise your objectives are, the better the content will match your expectations.

Example of objectives: GDPR course

Objective 1: Learn how to define personal data.

Objective 2: Understand how to handle personal data in the company.

Import reference documents

 

Under the “Knowledge Base” tab, insert various types of content related to the topic at hand:

  • Voice: record your voice to add essential insights that the AI Assistant will consider when generating content.

  • Documents: integrate additional materials such as PDFs or presentations.
    The following file types are allowed: *.pdf, *.txt, *.docx, *.pptx, *.mp3, *.wav, *.m4a, *.webm, *.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg (maximum size: 30 MB).

  • Links: click the "Import web page content" icon, enter the page address, then click "Confirm". The number of words retrieved is displayed: click "Import" to add the page to your knowledge base. Regardless of the page's language, Teach Up handles the translation. To find out what is retrieved, see the frequently asked questions at the bottom of this article.

  • Explanatory notes: insert annotations or comments. You can also copy/paste excerpts you’ve retrieved from a website, an email, etc.

Add additional information

You can set two additional options to better target the generated content and the way it is written:

  • "Learner information": Define your target audience in the "Who are the people to be trained?" field. The more specific you are, the better the content will be adapted.

Example: All employees in the company must take this course. Knowledge levels are varied.

  • "Writing tips for the assistant": Add instructions regarding the tone and format of your content: tone to adopt, use of emojis, etc.

Example: Use a direct tone, include concrete examples, address the learners formally, and ensure "Teach Up" is written correctly.

Confirm your choices

Once the three steps are complete, click the "Confirm" button. The AI Assistant will then analyze your reference content.

Generate a training plan, an introduction text and an outline

After configuring the AI Assistant, you can automatically generate:

  • a training plan
  • an introduction text
  • a three-step outline

If you do not want to generate the last two elements, uncheck the option before selecting the "Validate" button.

The training plan gives you a course outline organized by themes and parts, arranged in a logical order.

You can keep the generated plan as is, or reorganize, edit or delete the suggestions to adapt the content to your needs.

This training plan will help you create targeted, high-quality content in your course.

Generate content with the Teach Up AI Assistant

Once your AI Assistant is configured, you can automatically add 6 types of content as needed (text, image, list, survey, discussion board or practice). To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Click "+" to open the content toolbar.
  2. Click the type of content you want to add. The formats you can create with the AI Assistant are marked with purple stars sparkle_violet
  3. Click "Create with AI" (for a practice: "Configure with AI").

  4. You have two options:

    1. Enter a topic freely: type the topic you want, then select the format (text, image, list, survey, contribution or practice).

    2. Or click "Use the training plan": choose a topic generated automatically from the training plan.

  5. Select the "Generate" button.

You can repeat this process as many times as needed: once the AI Assistant is configured, you don't need to configure it again for each new piece of content. You can generate as much content as you like, at any time, by following the same process.

Edit or regenerate content created by the AI Assistant

When you want to modify content generated by the AI, you have two options:

  • You can edit each generated block directly by clicking on it.

  • You can also request a new version of the content: click again on the purple stars above the desired block, adjust the instructions given to the AI Assistant, then click the “Regenerate” button.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Teach Up retrieve when I add a link (URL) to the knowledge base?
Teach Up retrieves the text of the page you entered, at the time of import:

  • only that page: the links it contains are not followed. For a whole website, add one URL per useful page;
  • all the visible text, including menus and the footer, which count towards the number of words;
  • without images or videos: only their written captions are kept.

Some content can't be retrieved:

  • pages that require a login (intranet, internal tool…);
  • content that appears after the page has loaded (infinite scrolling, content generated with JavaScript);
  • PDF files and online videos: download the PDF and import it as a file; for a video, import its audio file or paste its transcript.

If the page contains a lot of menus or doesn't display well, copy and paste its text with the "Writing text content" icon: your knowledge base will be cleaner.

Are AI features available for assessments?
For now, Generative AI features are only available within a course, not within an assessment.

Can videos be used to feed the AI Assistant’s knowledge base?
No. Videos, including those with subtitles, cannot be used by Teach Up to enrich the AI Assistant’s knowledge base. Only text-based content is currently supported to generate AI responses.

Can Teach Up create a full course automatically with AI (in one click)?
No, creating a complete course still requires going through the AI Assistant and generating each part step by step. The assistant helps guide the process, but every section of the course must be built progressively to ensure a coherent and customizable result.

How do I update the content after modifying the assistant AI’s knowledge base?
When you add, remove, or edit a document in the assistant AI’s knowledge base, follow this process to ensure updates are reflected in the content:

  1. Click “Edit” to return to the assistant AI configuration.

  2. Update your documents (add, delete, or modify).

  3. Click the “Generate again” button (do not click “Confirm” only).

  4. The “Document analysis” window will open automatically — this confirms your changes have been successfully processed.

  5. Once the analysis is complete, return to the relevant content (e.g. a recipe), click “Modify the instruction”, then “Regenerate” to refresh the data.

This ensures that all generated content is based on the most recent version of your knowledge base.
