Students skim a long book and miss how the chapters connect, and leaders who want to check that reading spend hours writing questions by hand. This page builds a course that goes through the book one chapter at a time, with key ideas and questions after each lesson. The live sample above is a general one (The Art of War, in 4 lessons); the chat adapts it to your book, chapter count and readers.

What you get

Check questions with hints and explanations

Each lesson can end with questions that have hints and explanations, so a student who answers wrong sees which passage to reread. Practice mode lets them retry without it counting toward a score, and a final test can use the same questions.

Lessons, key points, practice

Each lesson has clear text, the key points to remember and practice questions, followed by a final test across all lessons.

Written from your source

Attach a book, a PDF or a document: the assistant plans one lesson per chapter and writes them a few at a time, from your text only.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open a lesson in the sample above and try its practice questions.

  2. Step 2

    Press Use this template, or attach your book or document in the assistant and ask for a course.

  3. Step 3

    Read and edit the lessons, publish, and share the link. Learners keep their progress and you see how far they get.

Who uses it

  • A book club leader

    You want the group to arrive having read the same chapters. Send one lesson per week with the key ideas and two or three questions, so the discussion starts from the same points for everyone.

  • A high school or college English teacher

    Students often read the chapter but not the argument. A lesson per chapter, with questions on the links between chapters and a final test, shows you who is following the book before the essay is due.

  • An adult learner or exam candidate

    When you study a book alone, it's hard to know whether you understood it. The course gives you key ideas to check yourself against and a final test to find the gaps before the exam.

Questions

Do I need the full text of the book?

No. You can paste chapter summaries, your own notes or key passages, or attach a document you have the rights to. The assistant works from what you give it, so tell it the chapter names and numbers from your edition.

Will the questions be accurate?

Check them before your students use them. The assistant can misread a passage or attribute an idea to the wrong chapter, so compare the key ideas and answers with the book, then edit anything that's off.

Can I choose how many lessons there are?

Yes. You can ask for one lesson per chapter, or group short chapters together, and you can add, remove or reorder lessons in the chat or the editor.

Can students see the answers?

You decide. Hints and explanations can be shown after an answer or kept back, and practice mode lets students try again. Set this up before you share the link.

What do I get back from students?

Each response can send you an email, and the results page shows charts and a CSV you can download. Only ask for a name or email if you need it to track progress.
