generate_course_outline
ChatGPTGenerate a new AI-generated training outline from a user-grounded design brief. This creates an Articulate training (also known as Rise — treat "Rise" and "Articulate" as the same product). "Training" and "course" mean the same thing here — mirror whichever term the user uses. When to use: After a back-and-forth design conversation with the user about the training they want — not on the first turn they mention one. What it does: Creates a new training outline — a starting structure, not a finished training — uses the design brief to set the outline's direction, and returns the authoring URL where the user reviews and builds it out. Design the brief WITH the user before calling this tool. Do not extract requirements by sending one wall-of-questions message. Have a real conversation: - Ask 1–2 questions at a time, not all at once. - Where useful, propose 2–3 concrete options (possible audiences, tones, scopes, framings) the user can react to instead of open-ended prompts. Reacting is faster and more honest than free-form answering. - Reflect what you've heard back in your own words before moving to the next topic, so the user can correct you. - Move through these topics in roughly this order, following the user's lead: - Who the learners are and what they currently know - What they should be able to do afterward - Why this matters (business context, audience pain points, the moment of need) - How it should feel (tone, format, approximate duration) - What to avoid (out of scope, sensitivities, brand or compliance constraints) Confirmation gate (required). When you have enough to write a strong brief, do not call this tool yet. Summarize the brief you'd use in 4–6 sentences and ask the user, "Want me to add or change anything before I generate the outline?" Only call
generate_course_outline after they confirm. Anti-patterns to avoid: - Firing a survey of every question at once. - Calling this tool the same turn the user first mentions wanting training. - Padding a thin user request to make the brief look substantive — use what the user actually gave you. - Inventing audiences, goals, or constraints the user did not supply.
