Generate your first lesson

You describe the lesson in your own words. PageDuo asks a few questions about it, then builds real pages you can edit — not a template you fill in.

Before you start. A workspace with a folder to put it in.
  1. Press Create, then Tell AI what you need

    Create is at the top of the left rail, and Tell AI what you need is the row at the top of the menu. The composer is also waiting on the main screen when the workspace is empty.

    The Make it with AI composer, with a box for describing what you want built

  2. Describe the lesson the way you would to a colleague

    "A Grade 7 introduction to cells and organelles, with a diagram and a short check for understanding." Subject, level and what it is for matter more than length. Enter starts a new line — it does not start the build — so take as many sentences as you need.

  3. Or start from a chip

    Quiz, Lesson, Flashcards, Website, Presentation and the rest fill the first part of the sentence in for you, and you type the topic.

  4. Press Create, then answer the setup questions

    PageDuo comes back with A few quick choices — the forms it will collect, the features to include, the built-in widgets, and an "Anything else?" box. Skip anything that does not apply, or Skip — just build it to go with what you wrote.

  5. Wait for it

    Generation takes a few minutes for a multi-page unit. You can close the tab; it keeps building and the page reopens where it left off.

  6. Read it before you teach it

    It is a first draft with your subject in it, not a finished lesson. The next section is editing.

You'll know it worked. A folder of finished pages opens in the editor, with your topic actually written into them.

This is how nearly everything in PageDuo starts, including quizzes.
