Generate inline content with AI

Introduction

To enhance content creation efficiency, admins can generate meaningful names and descriptions with AI assistance when creating and editing courses and training plans. This can be particularly useful if you can't immediately think of clear and engaging content.

In this article, we'll show you how to generate inline content in Learn365.

Enable AI assistance to generate inline content

Required role: LMS admin or Microsoft 365 global admin.

Before admins can generate inline content with AI, you must enable AI-enhanced features and drag the Inline content generation toggle to On in the AI features panel of the LMS Configuration section in Global Settings.

For more information, see this article.

Inline content generation

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

Currently, this feature is available when defining or editing the Name, Short Description, and Long Description of e-learning courses, instructor-led training courses, and training plans.

Generate inline content when a field is currently empty

This method is used when you want to add content to a currently empty field.

1. Select (the magic wand icon) next to the relevant field. The Ask AI to generate or rewrite text box opens.

Example of entering a prompt in the Name field of an e-learning course.

2. Enter your prompt in the Ask AI to generate or rewrite field. You can enter up to 250 characters. The number of characters remaining updates as you type.

For guidance on how to build effective AI prompts, see this article.

3. Press Enter or select the right-facing arrow to generate. The Generating content... message is displayed while your request is processing.

What happens next depends on the prompt you entered.

4. If you provide insufficient content, you'll see a message that asks you to change the prompt to give more context and try again.

Example of the response when you enter insufficient content.

If inline content can be generated from your prompt, the content is displayed in the Preview text dialog.

5. Check the content carefully, remembering that AI-generated content may be incorrect.

6. Choose what you want to do with the generated content:

• If you're happy with the content and want to replace the content of the field, select Replace.
• If you want to copy the content to the clipboard to paste elsewhere, select Copy result ().
• If the content doesn't match your requirements, select Regenerate () to try again with the same prompt.
• To cancel without adding the content to the field, select the X icon to close the dialog.

As much of the generated content as possible is added to the field, up to the maximum field length.

7. When you insert the content, you can continue to edit it until you're completely happy with it. If the field has a rich text editor, you can format the content in the usual way.

8. You can further refine your content using a range of actions. For more information, see Generate inline content when a field is already populated.

Your changes are applied when you create or save the course or training plan.

Use effective prompts to build meaningful content with AI

Some AI-powered features in Learn365 enable catalog admins and learners enter prompts that help AI to generate relevant and appropriate content.

To effectively use generative AI, it's important you craft clear and specific prompts.

For information about how catalog admins and learners can write effective prompts for generative AI, see this article.

Languages supported by AI

The AI-powered assistant understands languages that are supported by Microsoft. Generated content can be in the same language as the content you provided or a different one.

AI might generate content in an unexpected language if you provided content in several languages or if you provided insufficient content.
