Bytes good for shorter training
Hello,
Let me share my thoughts about Bytes. I was playing with it yesterday. I am an instructional designer in my day job, so that influences my thoughts. I did like it. I was able to get a course created in a couple of hours, because I had to go back and make edits. I find the first version is so-so.
I actually prefer doing it slide by slide versus doing one shot, as I find the one shot deal to be so-so in its output.
I had some editing issues, particularly on flashcards where it wouldn't let me move to or edit a flashcard here and there.
Bytes is an LMS in that it hosts courses, shares them, and allows you to track paid users by the looks of it.
It would be nice to have certificates for things like CE credits.
It would be nice if you opened up the theming so I could purchase better themes, because I find the themes are kind of basic.
I'm going to experiment using it as an interactive slide deck for virtual presentations, so people can follow along with me.
It would be nice to have some variables, especially for things like capturing a person's name and email.
I'm always looking for more options when it comes to quizzing. Expanding the types of quiz questions that can be asked is great.
I would like you to breakout quizzes to a single question because sometimes I just want to do a knowledge check after a section and just do one question, which as far as I can tell, I can't do currently. I can use single questions throughout the course as a way to reinforce info. It looks like it must be a quiz currently.
I did find the font a bit small. As someone who's getting older, smaller text is harder to read on screen, and when I'm doing a PowerPoint, it's always at a minimum of 18 point font size. So I do wish the font was a little bit bigger.
And I would like to be able to export SCORM files. I get that you want everything within Bytes, and there's a reason for that, but there may be times when you want to export to SCORM and use elsewhere. So the ability to export to SCORM would be awesome.
For people who are not learning designers maybe a way to ask AI to suggest improvements to the design to the course. I do this with AI and it it quite helpful in my day job. Also have the AI share the 1-3 learning outcomes after the course is created. Quiz questions should also align with learning outcomes to prove they have been achieved by the learner.
I would also like to export the text of the course as I sometimes turn this into a job aid.
Overall, I am happy with the product.

Mar 5, 2026Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for sharing your perspective as an instructional designer. Feedback from people who build learning experiences professionally is incredibly valuable for us.
It’s great to hear you were able to build a course quickly, and your approach of refining slide by slide is actually how many creators end up working with Bytes. The AI is designed to give a strong starting structure, and then creators can shape and improve it based on their expertise.
Thanks also for flagging the editing issue with flashcards. That definitely shouldn’t happen and we’ll pass that along to the team to investigate.
Just to clarify one point for anyone reading along - Bytes isn’t intended to be a traditional LMS. It’s designed more as a micro-course creator and delivery platform that lets creators quickly build, share, and sell short learning experiences without the complexity of a full LMS.
You also shared some excellent suggestions. Thanks again for taking the time to test the platform and share such detailed feedback.
Really appreciate it. Dimity
