AI generation and credits

Generating with AI

What AI generation writes, how to review it, and what you're responsible for before you publish.

What it does

AI generation writes draft material for you to check: an outline of sections and concepts, then the lessons, questions, correct answers, wrong answers and diagrams for each concept, and, if you ask, an illustration per concept. It doesn't add sources and it never publishes anything.

The subject and instructions you enter are sent to our AI provider to produce the drafts (see the upcoming Terms, §8). Each action costs AI credits.

AI generation may not be switched on for your account yet. When it isn't, Generate with AI says it isn't available and no credits are shown.

Outline first, then lessons

  1. On Create, choose Generate with AI. Enter a subject, the learner level, the number of concepts (5 to 60), and optionally topics to include or leave out. The page shows what the whole set will cost before you start.
  2. Generate outline (2 credits). You then review the outline: rename, reorder, add or remove sections and concepts. Nothing else is written yet.
  3. Generate lessons and questions writes each concept (1 credit per concept written). You can follow the progress and retry parts that failed.
  4. Add the results to a new draft or to one of your drafts. Every concept arrives unreviewed.

AI assist in the editor

Each concept's AI help can Rewrite the lesson, Suggest wrong answers, Write a flashcard, Suggest grading criteria or Suggest a diagram (1 credit each). A suggestion changes nothing until you choose Accept; Discard throws it away. The illustration block can also draw an illustration.

Reviewing AI content

An AI-written concept shows Written by AI — review before publishing and a mark in the concept list. Publishing is blocked until every one is marked reviewed. Before you choose Mark as reviewed:

  • check every fact in the lesson against a source you trust, and add that source;
  • check the correct answer is right and the only right one, and that each wrong answer is clearly wrong;
  • read the question as a learner would: is it fair with what the lesson taught?
  • check pictures and illustrations show what they claim, and that their alt text says so.

Your responsibility for quality

AI output can be wrong, out of date, or close to existing material. You're responsible for what you publish and share, as for anything you write yourself (upcoming Terms, §8 and §7). Recall Ladder doesn't review or certify creator sets. For health, legal, financial or safety subjects, validation adds a reminder to check every fact against an authoritative source.
