3 Best AI Course Creators to Learn Anything
Most online courses are made for thousands of people at once.
They can't know what you already understand, what your exam covers, or which topic nobody has made a course about yet.
AI course creators solve this: you give them a topic or your own material, and they build the course for you.
I built one, and I tested the others. Here is what I look for:
- It builds a structure, not a summary. Units and lessons in a logical order, not one long answer.
- It makes you practice. Every lesson asks you to recall, apply or explain what you just learned.
- It works from your own material. A PDF, your class notes or a web page, not only a topic name.
Let's explore the best AI course creators that satisfy these criteria.
1. Boterview: The Best AI Course Creator for Learning by Doing
Boterview turns any topic into a complete course with units, lessons and interactive challenges.
You can type a subject, or create a course from a PDF or an image. To test it, I asked for a biology course on cell division, and it built the whole path in less than a minute:
I built Boterview based on the idea that passive learning is not the same as learning.
So the AI doesn't just write lessons for you to read. It turns them into challenges, like sorting examples into the right category:
Or explaining your reasoning in a Socratic conversation with the AI:
When you get something wrong, the AI tutor explains your mistake right away:
And every course comes with spaced-repetition flashcards, so you keep what you learned.

2. Gemini Notebook: The Best AI Course Creator for Research Material
Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, starts from the sources you add: PDFs, web pages, videos or notes.
It only answers from those sources, and it cites the exact passage behind each claim.
From two Wikipedia pages on mitosis and meiosis, it generated this quiz for me:
It can also create flashcards, study guides and podcast-style Audio Overviews.
What I appreciate is how much I can trust it: everything comes from my sources, not from the internet.
The drawback is that it doesn't build a learning path, so you decide yourself what to study next.
3. Knowt: The Best AI Course Creator for Exam Preparation
Knowt is a study app built around one goal: getting you ready for your next exam.
From your files or your class, it can create notes, flashcards, practice tests, podcasts and an exam plan:
The feature I find most original is the Exam Predictor & Plan, built to anticipate what may be on your test and plan your revision around it.
The drawback is that Knowt is more of a toolbox than a course: you choose which tool to use, and when.
