Genially vs creating courses with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini

General-purpose AI chatbots are great for drafting text. Genially is an AI course creator built for eLearning: describe your idea, add your own sources, review the content plan, and get an interactive course you can edit, brand, publish and export to your LMS.

Why create your course in Genially instead of a chatbot?

  • A flow built for courses

    Tell Genially your idea, audience and tone. It suggests a format (presentation, quiz, microlearning, dossier or report) and shows a content plan, page by page, before it generates anything.

  • Your sources as the base

    Add a PDF (up to 100 pages), a long text or another creation. The source guides the content, so always review the result, as you would with any AI draft.

  • Interactive from the start

    Quizzes, games, hotspots, drag and drop and animations are built in. You do not need to write, test or host any code.

  • Edit like a designer, not a developer

    Refine every page in a drag-and-drop editor with templates and your brand kit, instead of going back and forth with prompts.

  • Publish, export and track

    Share a link, embed it or present live. Export to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI, connect through LTI and follow learner results.

  • Use both together

    Already draft with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? Paste or upload that draft as a source in Genially and turn it into an interactive course.

Genially is for you if:

  • You want to turn AI drafts into interactive courses without writing or hosting code.

  • You need to publish to an LMS with SCORM, xAPI or LTI and follow learner results.

  • You want to review a content plan and edit the final design in a visual editor.

Genially is not for you if:

  • You only need text: outlines, scripts or quiz questions. A chatbot is enough.

  • You need a multi-module course with sections generated as a single course. Today you build it with several pages or linked creations.

  • You need an assistant for research, writing or analysis beyond course creation.
