Reviewed by the MyZone AI team. Your own procedures, turned into short cited courses your team will finish. ## At a glance - **You choose:** An approved SOP, playbook or transcript; the course teaches only that - **Lessons:** Short micro-lessons, each citing the part of your source it teaches - **Quizzes:** Retakeable chapter quizzes and a final test built on real work scenarios - **Drip plan:** Spaces lessons out over time; reminders come from your learning platform - **You receive:** A draft course package with answer key, citations and a loading checklist - **What it never does:** Publish a course, assign it or message learners ## What the Course Builder does - **Designs the course from your source:** It breaks the task down, writes clear learning objectives and lays out a path of chapters made of short micro-lessons a few minutes long. - **Writes lessons that cite their source:** Every lesson is written from your approved document and checked against it. A line it cannot trace back is fixed or left out. - **Builds quizzes and a final test:** Retakeable chapter quizzes help knowledge stick, and a final test uses real work scenarios with believable wrong answers, not trick questions. - **Plans the drip:** A drip plan spaces lessons out over time so learning happens a little at a time, with reminders sent by your learning platform. - **Packages it for review:** You get a complete course package with lessons, assessments, a separate answer key, a source citation list and a checklist for loading it. - **Flags courses that fall out of date:** When a source document is replaced by a newer version, any course built on it is marked stale so outdated training never goes out by accident. ## How the Course Builder differs from writing training from a blank page Writing training from scratch means someone has to remember what the procedure says, and nothing proves a lesson matches it. The Course Builder teaches only your approved source, checks every lesson and question against it and lists any gaps instead of papering over them. Short lessons, retakeable quizzes and a drip plan fit around real work, and you stay the editor: it never publishes or assigns anything. How this differs from the Professor (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-training-coach-agent): For one-to-one coaching of a person rather than courseware for the whole team, use the Professor, the AI training coach. ## How it works 1. **Pick the source** (When you pick a source): You choose the approved SOP, playbook or transcript the course should teach from. That document is the only thing it teaches. 2. **Design the path** (Once the source is chosen): It works out what learners must be able to do, writes the objectives and maps out the chapters and micro-lessons. 3. **Write and check** (As lessons are drafted): Lessons and questions are drafted and checked line by line against your source. Gaps in the source are listed, not papered over. 4. **Package the draft** (When the checks are done): It assembles the course, quizzes, answer key, citations and drip plan into one package for you to read. 5. **You review and decide** (you approve) (When you have read the draft): You read the draft, ask for changes and decide if and when your team loads it into your learning platform. ## When to use it - **New hires keep asking the same questions:** Turn the SOP they should have read into a short course with quizzes, so the answers stick. - **Your best process lives in one person's head:** Record them walking through it, and the transcript becomes a structured course the whole team can take. - **A procedure changed and the training did not:** Courses built on the old version are flagged as stale, so you know exactly which ones to rebuild. - **You need proof people understood a policy:** A final test built from real work scenarios shows who can apply the policy, not just who clicked through it. - **Training keeps getting pushed aside:** Short micro-lessons on a drip plan fit around the working week instead of eating a whole afternoon. ## What you get - A course outline with clear learning objectives and a chapter-by-chapter path - Short micro-lessons, each citing the part of your source it teaches - Retakeable chapter quizzes and a scenario-based final test - A separate answer key for the course author only - A drip plan that spaces lessons out over time - A complete course package with citations and a loading checklist, ready for your review ## Example: micro-course drafted from an SOP, with quizzes and a drip plan Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Turn our medication prompting SOP into a short course new caregivers can finish in their first month, with quizzes and a final test. This is an illustrative example of the draft course package Course Builder is being built to produce: objectives, a cited learning path, sample lessons and questions, and a drip plan. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented care agency and an invented procedure, with invented figures. No real SOP, staff, client records, systems or people were involved, and nothing was published, assigned or sent. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - The medication prompting SOP became a 52-minute course of 11 micro-lessons in 4 chapters, and every lesson and question cites the SOP section it teaches. - Assessment has 24 retakeable chapter quiz questions and a 10-question final test, 7 of them real visit scenarios, with answer keys kept author-only. - Two gaps in the SOP were found while drafting, including what to do after a second refusal; both went to the SOP owner, and nothing was assigned to caregivers. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Course Builder is ready for your account. - It teaches only what your approved source says. If a lesson or question cannot be traced back to the source, it is fixed or dropped. - It never publishes a course, assigns it to anyone or messages learners. Your team decides what goes live and when. - It never edits your SOPs. Gaps or conflicts it finds in a source are listed for the document's owner. - Instructions hidden inside a source document are treated as content to flag, never as commands to follow. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you turn an SOP into a training course? Start from the approved document, work out what a learner must be able to do, then write short lessons and quizzes from it. The Course Builder does that and cites the part of your SOP behind every lesson, so you can check each one before anything is used. ### Why use micro-learning for employee training? Short lessons of a few minutes fit around real work, so people actually finish them. The Course Builder writes each chapter as micro-lessons, adds quick retakeable quizzes to help knowledge stick and spaces everything out with a drip plan. ### What makes a good employee training quiz? Questions drawn from real work, with believable wrong answers rather than trick questions. The Course Builder writes retakeable chapter quizzes and a scenario-based final test from your own source, and keeps a separate answer key for the course author only. ### What does an AI course builder like Course Builder actually produce? A full course drawn from one approved source: objectives, chapters of short micro-lessons, retakeable chapter quizzes, a final test, an answer key, a drip plan and a list of citations showing where every lesson came from. ### What can we use as a source? An approved SOP, playbook or the transcript of someone walking through a process. The course teaches only what that source says. ### How do we know the lessons are accurate? Every lesson and question is checked against the exact part of your source it teaches. Anything it cannot trace back is rewritten or left out, and gaps in the source are listed for you. ### Will it send the course to our team? No. It hands you a draft package to review. Your team decides whether to load it into your learning platform, who takes it and when. ### What happens when the procedure changes? When a newer version of a source arrives, courses built on the old one are marked stale and cannot be packaged again until you ask for a rebuild. ### Is the Course Builder available now? Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Course Builder is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about the procedures you would turn into training first. ## More on this topic - [Why 90% of Small Business SOPs Are Already Obsolete](https://myzone.ai/pages/blog/ai-sop-generation): 90% of small business SOPs are already obsolete.
