Options to Insert AI Audio
Hi! The latest update made some changes to inserting AI Audio into the Storyline 360 Timeline. It used to be inserted wherever the Playhead was in the timeline. Now, there is just the option to replace a clip, presumably the last clip selected. This is a specific use, which might be great to have as an option, but there should also be just the "Insert at Playhead" option. I just want to get the audio into the project asap and will work with it with it there. Thanks.AI - Instant Convert > Convert to Image & text (Beta)
While this feature is still in Beta consider adding the following feature: When the user select AI Block Tools > Instant convert > Image & text Allow the user to have an image/icon for each topic when multiple topics are being convert. Example: Converting three flashcards to Image & text. I have the following flashcards: 1- Microphone, 2-Headphones, and 3-Camera. Provide an option to convert these three flashcards into three images & text blocks or a three column image grid with text. 1-microphone icon/image with text, 2-headphones icon/image with text and 3-camera icon/image with text.Themes Automatically Applied to AI-Generated Content
Background / Problem We understand that fonts and colors can be changed via Theme, but for content created with AI, we currently have to manually reapply the same settings each time. To align with unified brand design (fonts/colors/button and interaction styles, etc.), post-generation adjustments are required, increasing operational effort. In other projects, we duplicate content saved as design templates, but we cannot launch Create new with AI from existing content. This prevents us from combining template-driven workflows with AI generation efficiently. Request (Desired Behavior) Theme templating Allow saving and managing Theme settings (fonts, color palettes, button styles, default cover/lesson layouts, etc.) as “Theme Templates.” Enable setting a “default Theme Template” at workspace/folder/project levels. Integration with AI generation When using Create new with AI to generate a course, provide an option (default ON/OFF) to automatically apply the selected Theme Template. Allow launching Create new with AI from existing template content and inherit that content’s theme settings for the newly generated course. Bulk apply / reapply Provide a function to bulk apply or reapply (diff-based update) a Theme Template to existing courses. Offer impact previews (fonts, colors, component styles) and before/after comparisons prior to applying changes. Management / sharing Support versioning, ownership, update history, and team sharing (view/edit permissions) for Theme Templates. Support export/import (e.g., JSON) to facilitate migration across workspaces and backups. Expected Benefits Immediately achieve brand-consistent courses after AI generation, greatly reducing rework. Improve consistency of design standards across teams/organizations, enabling scalable production. Combine template operations with AI generation to balance speed and quality. Representative Use Cases Roll out brand-approved fonts and color schemes across multilingual courses. Apply a unified theme to large volumes of microlearning for Sales/Support. Launch Create new with AI from an existing template: let AI handle structure and tone, while the visual design remains fixed by the template. Acceptance Criteria (Examples) At the start of Create new with AI, users can select which Theme Template to apply (default sourced from workspace settings). After generation, users can reapply the Theme Template to the course with one click. Items manageable via Theme Template: fonts (body/headings), color sets (primary/secondary/accent), component styles (buttons/links/cards), and default layouts for cover/lessons. Template sharing settings and version history are visible. Note (Alternative) As a minimum improvement, allowing Create new with AI to be launched from existing content and inherit that content’s theme settings would already deliver significant value. Thank you for your consideration.Chatbots in courses
People have been able to make AI chatbots that pull content and answer user questions in courses. It would be great if this could be a feature storyline provided without having to use external programs to build the chatbot. I build large guides in rise and while the search feature is nice, it would take the guide to the next level if learners could ask their question to the chatbot and get answers from the content in Rise.Scheduled AI tasks: help teachers automate small recurring prep work
This is a really useful feature I’ve been using lately, and after talking to a few teachers, I realized many of them still don’t know it exists, so I’m sharing it here in case it’s useful. Scheduled AI tasks are probably one of the easiest ways to turn AI from “something you ask manually” into a very basic automation tool. You set it once, let it run on a schedule, and get the result later. You can also get notified by app or email if needed. For teachers and e-learning people, a few use cases seem genuinely practical: - Get a weekly update from teaching subreddits, education communities, or E-Learning Heroes to spot useful ideas, examples, and new resources - Collect common questions or pain points from open forums and turn them into lesson ideas, discussion prompts, or training topics - Generate a daily warm-up, exit ticket, reflection question, or quick classroom activity - Create one short daily teaching tip, encouragement post, or reflective prompt - Or just get a weekly AI-in-education roundup, new tool suggestions, or a short digest of useful links What I like about this is that it is very basic automation in a good way: no self-hosting LLM, no extra automation stack. You do need a paid account for this, and there is usually a limit on how many active schedules you can keep, so it makes sense to save them for recurring tasks that are actually useful. (As I see in April, you need at least GPT Plus / Gemini Pro to use it, and max is 10.) Basic setup is simple: - In Gemini, go to Settings -> Scheduled actions - In ChatGPT, you can usually just describe the schedule directly in the prompt, and later adjust it in the same chat - Claude also has scheduled task options now depending on how you use it One thing I would strongly recommend: For anything more complex than a simple reminder, do not write the task prompt casually. It is much better to first use GPT or Claude to help you write the actual prompt clearly: - what to check - where to look - what to ignore - what grade / audience / subject it is for - how to format the result - whether it should include sources For example, a simple scheduled prompt could be: Every Friday at 4 PM, review this week’s posts in r/Teachers and r/AskTeachers. Summarize 10 useful teaching ideas, classroom tips, or recurring teacher problems in short bullet points. Another useful trick: If the task is niche, put the relevant background into the chat first so the AI has better context from the start. That can be your subject, learner level, curriculum goals, tone, school context, or the type of material you want. My rough impression so far: GPT and Claude are usually better at structuring the work clearly. Gemini can be quite creative, but it often needs more pressure if you want tighter sourcing and cleaner reporting. Also, once you start connecting things like email, Drive, or other related apps, this can go beyond simple reminders and become actually useful workflow automation. Anyway, this feels like one of the easiest entry points into AI automation right now. No self-hosting, no extra infra, no complicated setup.Create a Custom Template for Rise to use with AI Assistant
Right now we follow the suggested process of creating a course to be used as a template, sharing it with our team, and then our team copies it and creates a course from it, but we cannot use this with AI Assistant, and more specifically, AI Assistant's Course Generator. Having a template that can be applied to existing courses, new courses, and selected during AI course generation would help us use the product more effectively and efficiently, as well as keep consistent with our brand standards and guidelines.Rise: Ai assistant referencing other Rises
Hello :) I noticed in Rise that you can have the AI assistant reference a few documents in the powerpoint, PDF & word format. Is there a plan to have the assistant reference other rise's? For example, I have quite a lot of different materials and topics built in rise that I have done over the years. It would be great if I was able to paste the link or select the ones I wish to reference when building new or comprehensive materials. I found it odd that I could reference physical materials, but not materials built with the software to begin with. It's quite labouring to have to export a topic into pdf/word, over and over again, only to have to upload each one again into the assistant for the course I'm building.
