Experiences

Go beyond tiles with immersive learning experiences

Tiles are the building blocks. Experiences are the next level — interactive, non-linear content that puts learners in the driver's seat.

Branching Scenarios

Build choose-your-own-adventure learning paths with a visual node editor. Drag and connect decision points, add consequences, and let learners navigate based on their choices.

AI Video

Create explainer videos with AI-generated talking heads, text overlays, and scene editing — a lightweight video editor built for eLearning, right inside Mindsmith.

AI Conversations

Create AI-powered dialogue simulations where learners practice real conversations — sales calls, difficult feedback, customer support — with an AI that adapts to their responses.

Software Simulations

Walk learners through software workflows with interactive, step-by-step screen recordings. Learners click through the actual interface instead of watching a video.

AI-Native Authoring

An AI co-author that makes you better, not just faster

Real-time author feedback

Mindsmith's AI reviews your content for sentence clarity, tone consistency, instructional alignment, and accessibility — catching issues before your learners do.

AI-powered assessment grading

Build short-answer questions and let AI grade free-text responses. Learners get meaningful feedback on open-ended answers — not just "correct" or "incorrect."

AI narration & audio

Generate professional narration for any lesson with AI voices from ElevenLabs and OpenAI. Choose from multiple voices and accents. No recording studio required.

AI image generation

Create custom visuals directly in the editor using cutting-edge models. Need an illustration for a safety scenario? Generate it in seconds instead of hunting through stock libraries.

Plan Before You Build

Storyboard your lesson before diving into details

Start with structure, not slides. Mindsmith's storyboard lets you map out your lesson flow. Objectives, sections, key interactions. Before you commit to content. Rearrange, iterate, and get the shape right first. When you're ready, convert your storyboard into a full lesson with one click.

Storyboard interface
Built for Teams

Co-author in real time. Review without email chains.

Real-time co-authoring

Real-time co-authoring

Multiple authors can edit the same lesson at the same time. See live cursors, track who's working where, and avoid version conflicts.

Permissions & access control

Permissions & access control

Control who can edit, review, or just view. Role-based permissions keep your content secure without slowing down collaboration.

Version history & snapshots

Version history & snapshots

Mindsmith automatically saves version snapshots as you work. Roll back to any previous version if an edit goes sideways. Experiment freely.

Review & comment workflows

Review & comment workflows

Share a review link with stakeholders. They can leave comments directly on specific elements — no more "see page 12, third bullet" in email threads.

Your Brand, Every Lesson

Professional, on-brand content — without a designer

Mindsmith's Smart Branding Engine applies your brand identity across every lesson automatically. Set your colors, fonts, logo, and button styles once, then every new lesson starts on-brand.

  • Set your brand kit once, every new lesson starts on-brand automatically
  • Customize colors, fonts, logos, and button styles globally
  • Override themes per-lesson when a different look is needed
  • Built-in contrast and dark mode support for accessible designs

Course builder
Courses

Organize content into structured courses

Build structured courses with units, drag-and-drop ordering, and a visual overview. Mindsmith's AI can generate an entire course structure from your source documents, or build it manually.

  • Organize content into units with drag-and-drop reordering
  • Upload documents and let AI draft your course outline
  • Manage courses visually in grid or list view

Looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile — automatically

Every lesson is responsive out of the box. No separate mobile version to maintain.
