For instructional designers
AI tool for instructional designers, plan first
The AI asks about audience, length and how closely to follow your sources, then shows a course plan you edit before it builds. Every block stays editable after.
Bring a real document to the demo. Leave with a first draft.

Course back up and running
It was easy to go in, create an actor with a voice, and get the course back up and running. Faster than redoing the course...

Into the LMS, first time
We've been able to produce high-quality, engaging videos that have been integrated into our Learning Management System (LMS) successfully.

10 hours of meetings replaced a month
We've been able to replace an average of 10 hours of walkthrough meetings every month by generating a Colossyan video.

Easy updates, real savings
The ease of content update and cost savings are remarkable.
Mentor Group
90% lower video production cost
Scaling and maintaining content has been cost-prohibiting, but with Colossyan, we were able to cut around 90% of our video production costs.
An AI agent, plus everything
a real production needs.
Give Cora your existing policies, decks or SOPs and get a complete video plan back in minutes, with every scene yours to review and approve. Then ship it in 120+ languages, wrap it into a full course, or make it interactive, without opening another tool.

START FROM A SOURCE
From source to video.
Cora reads your handbook, deck or help page, writes the script and lays out each scene. Nothing renders until you approve it. Start from a PDF, a PowerPoint or a web page.

FULL COURSES, NOT JUST CLIPS
Full courses, SCORM-ready.
Build modules, knowledge checks and pass marks in Colossyan Learn, then export SCORM to your LMS. When a policy changes, you update the lesson instead of rebuilding the course.
Colossyan Learn
LESSON 1 · START SECURE
Build secure defaults from day one
Learn the simple habits that protect your accounts, messages, and devices throughout the workday.
Most breaches start with an ordinary moment, a reused password, a link that looked internal, a laptop left unlocked. This lesson covers the defaults that remove those moments from your day.

From document to a tracked course in 3 steps
- 1
Upload your file and describe the course

- 2
Edit the lesson plan in chat
Then it builds the pages, quizzes and AI video drafts, and every block stays editable.
- 3
Publish a share link learners open without an account, or export SCORM 1.2 for your LMS on Professional or Enterprise.

What you get
Everything a finished course needs.
The parts that usually take a second tool come with every course.

Change the course, not the link
Edit it or ask Cora, publish the changes, and new learners get the new version on the same link.
Share anywhere
A link that opens with no login, or a SCORM 1.2 package with completion and pass mark.

Learners on any device
A mobile-friendly player that saves progress. No app to install.
eLearning authoring tools, side by side
Every tool here exports SCORM, and most now draft courses with AI. The real differences are AI video limits, standards and price.
| Tool | AI course draft | AI avatar video | Course standards | Entry price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Articulate 360 AI | Yes, in Rise, no credits | On credits, 5 min max per video | SCORM 1.2/2004, xAPI, cmi5, AICC | $1,449/yr Personal, $1,749/seat/yr Teams |
| Adobe Captivate | Generative AI course design (vendor claim) | Since 13.0; about 70 s per seat a month on Enterprise | SCORM 1.2/2004, AICC, xAPI | US$39.99/mo on an annual plan |
| iSpring Suite AI / Cloud AI | AI Course Creator from TXT, PDF, DOCX | Cloud AI only (45+ avatars), desktop coming soon | SCORM 1.2/2004, AICC, xAPI, cmi5 | $720 to $1,290 per author/yr |
| Create by Confirm (formerly Elucidat) | Draft from up to 10 PDFs | None native; Synthesia videos are embedded | SCORM 1.2, 2004 4th ed., xAPI | Quote only |
| Mindsmith | Agent builds from files or prompts | 30+ avatars, 20 credits per avatar minute | SCORM 1.2, 2004 3rd ed.; xAPI on Enterprise | Free plan; $39/author/mo billed yearly |
| Colossyan | Full course from a brief plus files | Included minutes; NEO 2, up to 4 per scene | Courses SCORM 1.2; videos 1.2/2004; no xAPI | Free Starter; $59/mo billed yearly |
Captivate and iSpring Suite install on desktop, and iSpring Suite needs Windows and PowerPoint.
Training goes out of date faster than you can build it.
Most teams still juggle an authoring tool, a video tool and a translation agency, so every update means starting over. Teams on Colossyan draft in an afternoon, keep the final say on every scene, and update without rebuilding. Here's how Paramount, AmeriSave and others made the switch.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
It is software for building online courses: lessons, interactions and quizzes, packaged so an LMS can track them, usually as SCORM. Colossyan is an AI Platform for Training & Enablement with an authoring tool and AI video in one place. It drafts the course from your documents, and you share a link or export SCORM 1.2.
Common choices include Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, iSpring Suite and Colossyan. Articulate and Captivate now offer AI avatar video on credits, and iSpring offers it in Cloud AI. Colossyan includes AI presenter video with its course builder and has a free plan. Compare SCORM versions, AI video limits and price before you pick.
No. The AI builds the first draft, including interactive blocks such as tabs, flip cards and hotspots, and your brand kit sets the colors and fonts on every page. You review and edit the draft instead of starting from a blank page, and you can change any block afterwards.
Yes. Starter is free with no card, and it includes AI course creation with no cap on the number of courses. SCORM export starts on Professional, which gives you 5 course exports and 5 video exports a month. Enterprise has no export cap. You can build and preview the whole course before you pay.
Colossyan holds SOC 2 Type II and is GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), and your documents, scripts and videos are not used to train AI models. Enterprise adds SAML or OIDC single sign-on and support for your security questionnaires and DPA.
It takes 30 minutes. Bring a real document, deck or SOP and we build a draft course from it while you watch. You see the course editor, quiz settings and SCORM export, and you leave with a scoped plan for your first courses and the plan that fits your team.
