The tutor cites its sources
Your students ask the course itself. The tutor answers from your content, no making things up.

Nothing generates without your go-ahead.
Module 01
Course-building agent
You talk. The AI course generator builds.
Describe the course you want, attach your PDFs, slides and notes. The AI course builder proposes a plan, waits for your go-ahead, then generates chapters and activities, in your voice.
- A plan proposed before anything generates: you approve, it executes
- Drop PDFs, images and notes straight into the conversation
- Your writing tone, set once, applied everywhere
- Close the tab: generation keeps running, the chat waits for you

Module 02
Seven ways to teach. One expertise.
Every course assembles the activities your teaching calls for, all generated by AI, all editable by hand.
-
Written lesson
Chapters written and structured from your own documents. The agent reads what you upload, proposes an outline, then drafts each section in your tone. You edit anything inline, and the tutor is trained on the result.
-
Video lesson
Your Looms, screen recordings and existing videos, embedded where they land best in the course. Add a public URL or upload the file, with the accompanying text alongside it.
-
Quiz
True/false, rating scales and open answers in the same quiz. Closed questions are scored automatically; open ones are graded by the AI against your criteria, and your students see a results screen with the correction.
-
Presentation
Slide decks laid out by the AI on your own brand, from your source material. Content and design are generated separately, so you can rewrite a slide without losing the layout.
-
Podcast
Your written content narrated as a two-voice audio episode. Edit a line of the script and only the affected segments are re-synthesised, so a fix costs seconds rather than a full re-render.
-
Assignment
Real deliverables, submitted as text or files. Students can resubmit as many times as you allow, and the AI drafts a first-pass grade against your scale, which you review and sign off before anything is published.
-
AI tutor
A chatbot that knows only your course, and knows it by heart. It answers your students around the clock and cites the exact lesson it drew from, so nobody gets an invented answer with your name on it.
The agent picks the right activity for the right spot, you keep the final say.
Module 03
Publish it. It teaches.
Once live, the course answers questions, grades submissions and unlocks what comes next, without waking you up.
First-pass grading
Every submission arrives pre-graded: proposed score, written feedback. You review, adjust, sign. Your voice, without the hours.
- Chapters unlock as students progress
- Completion tracked automatically
- Every student question visible in your dashboard
Module 04

Questions
What people ask before they start
- How long does it take to build a course?
- About 15 minutes from your source material to a complete, publishable course. You talk to the agent, it proposes a plan, you approve it, and it writes the lessons, quizzes and assignments. Editing and polishing afterwards is up to you.
- Who owns the courses I create?
- You do. The content you upload and everything the agent produces from it belongs to you, not to Criterium. You keep your work, your students and your revenue if you leave.
- Can I export to SCORM for Moodle or Canvas?
- No. Criterium does not export SCORM packages, because it is not an authoring tool that feeds someone else’s LMS. It hosts and delivers the course itself: your students get a link, the AI tutor answers them, and you see who completed what. If your organisation requires SCORM in an existing LMS, Criterium is not the right fit today.
- Which AI models does it run on?
- Every plan runs on current frontier models. On Studio you choose which one, across the latest Gemini, OpenAI and Anthropic families, so you can match the model to the subject you teach.
- Is there a free plan?
- Yes, with no card. Free covers 3 courses of up to 30 students each and 300 AI credits, one time. When the credits run out your courses stay online; you top up or upgrade.
- How do I get paid?
- Through the built-in storefront, from the Solo plan onward. Payments run on Stripe, you keep 95% of each sale, and Criterium takes a 5% platform fee. There is no per-student charge.
