# Create an Online Course With AI: How Vonza Turns Your Videos or an Idea Into a Course > Create an online course with AI on Vonza: upload videos or describe your idea, and Vonza AI drafts the modules, lessons, summaries, quizzes and sales page. By Uyi Abraham (Founder and CEO, Vonza). Published 2024-02-13, updated 2026-10-28. Category: Course creation. 3 min read. Canonical: https://vonza.com/blog/course-creator-with-ai You can create an online course with AI in Vonza in one guided setup: upload the recordings you already have, or describe the course in a few sentences, and Vonza AI drafts the modules, the lessons, the summaries, a quiz per module and the sales-page description. You review the outline, set a price and publish. This post replaces two earlier articles about Vonza AI and describes the [AI course creator](https://vonza.com/ai-course-creator) as it works today. ## Why this matters for a first-time course creator The hard part of a first course is rarely the knowledge. It is the structure: deciding what goes in module one, what each lesson is called, where the quiz goes, and what the sales page should say. Expert course creators have done that dozens of times. A novice stares at a blank outline. Vonza AI removes the blank outline. ![Creating a course with Vonza AI](https://assets.vonza.com/marketing/blog/course-creator-with-ai/creating-a-course-with-vonza-ai.jpg) ## Three ways to begin Click New course, type a working title, and choose how to begin. ### Upload my video Add your recordings. Vonza transcribes each one in thirteen languages or detects the language, splits each video into lessons at every topic change, groups the lessons into modules in file-name order, writes a title and a short summary per lesson, and drafts a quiz per module. Uploads continue in the background while you review. The full walk-through is in [how to turn your videos into an online course with AI](https://vonza.com/blog/turn-videos-into-online-course-ai). ### Describe it, get an outline with Vonza AI Tell Vonza AI what the course is about, who it is for, the level and roughly how many lessons (about 5, 10 or 20), in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese. An outline of one to eight modules with up to twelve lessons each appears, usually in 15 to 30 seconds, with an optional two-to-five-question quiz per module and a sales-page description written from the outline. Lessons publish as text until you add videos. ### Start blank An empty course you build lesson by lesson, with the same outline editor, pricing and publishing steps. Bring Vonza AI in later to write lesson text. ![Vonza AI](https://assets.vonza.com/marketing/blog/course-creator-with-ai/b3dl3uuy.png) ## Review the outline: you keep the final say Vonza AI drafts the structure; you check it. Rename modules, drag lessons into a better order, add or remove lessons and quizzes. Summaries and quizzes are marked as drafts until you approve them. Three helpers can be switched on or off: write a summary for each lesson, draft a quiz at the end of each module, and write each lesson in full. If the structure is wrong, regenerate the outline; the lessons you added yourself stay. Two defaults are set for you and can be changed later: every lesson releases immediately, and access starts the moment the student pays. ![Reviewing the outline Vonza AI drafted](https://assets.vonza.com/marketing/blog/course-creator-with-ai/creating-a-course-with-vonza-ai-2.jpg) ## Price and publish Pick one price to start. The seven plan types are Free, One-Time Purchase, Subscription Plan, Recurring Payment, Installment Plan, Flexible Payment and Pay What You Want; more plans, coupons and bump offers can be added later. The [course pricing options](https://vonza.com/course-pricing-options) page explains each one. Glance at the sales page written from your outline, then publish. If payments are not connected yet, the course publishes free for now. ## After publishing - **Add your videos** to the lessons that need them, if you started from a brief. - **Approve the drafts**: summaries and quizzes stay marked until you do. - **Pick a sales-page template** from the five in the live preview: [course sales page templates](https://vonza.com/course-sales-page-templates). - **Set a certificate** and the rule that issues it: [course certificates](https://vonza.com/course-certificates). - **Share the link.** Students land in the [student portal](https://vonza.com/student-portal) on your domain. ![Distributing a course to students](https://assets.vonza.com/marketing/blog/course-creator-with-ai/distribution.jpg) ## What Vonza AI does not do It does not import from Google Drive or Dropbox, generate captions, or record in the browser; you upload files you already have. It does not invent your expertise: the words in a video-built course are your words, transcribed, and the outline from a brief is a draft you will edit. That is the point. The AI handles the weekend of structuring; the course is still yours. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can AI really write my course? It drafts the structure and the first words. From videos it writes a title and a summary per lesson and a quiz per module; from a brief it drafts the modules, the lesson list, the quizzes and a sales-page description. Everything is marked as a draft for you to approve, edit or delete. ### How long does the outline take? An outline from a brief usually takes 15 to 30 seconds. Building from videos depends on their length, and uploads continue in the background while you review. ### Is AI course creation on every plan? Yes. It uses AI credits, every plan includes a monthly allowance, and you can buy more at any time.
