Coursecast and general AI chat: a workflow, not a conversation
You can ask any capable chat assistant to write a course. Coursecast is built on Claude too, but wraps it in a training workflow: structured planning, lesson-by-lesson drafting with the full source in view, review notes, an editor and clean exports.
General AI chat assistants
such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Claude.ai
