Hey Sumo-lings 👋,

Since day one, Mini Course Generator has had one goal: to make course creation and delivery so fast and simple that anyone can share their expertise without feeling overwhelmed. When we were last here in June, we took the biggest step on that path so far: we introduced the world’s first Agentic LMS, where agents create courses, add interactions and keep your lessons up to date. The response blew us away: our MCP has been used heavily in Claude and ChatGPT ever since, and an incredible number of courses have been created straight from those conversations.

But great learning programs are rarely built alone. They’re built by teams: a subject expert, an instructional designer, someone who keeps the academy running. So for the first time ever, we’re bringing an enterprise feature to AppSumo: team seats. 🚀 Until now, inviting teammates into your workspace was reserved for our business plans. Starting with this campaign, you can do it with a lifetime deal, and everything we shipped in the last four months is built to help you run a polished, branded academy together.

Here are the headlines:

1. Team Seats, an Enterprise Feature, Now on AppSumo. With the new Tier 9, you can invite a teammate into your workspace. They get full access to your courses and learning paths, and you share a monthly pool of 4,000 AI credits.

2. Official ChatGPT App. MCG is now approved by OpenAI and listed in ChatGPT’s app directory. Build, publish and manage your courses right from a conversation. (For more details > https://minicoursegenerator.com/mcp)

3. Branded Learning Portal. Turn your workspace into a home for all your learning paths, with your branding everywhere, a catalog with tag filters, “continue learning” for returning learners and SEO settings.

4. Redesigned Admin. A cleaner home for your learning paths, courses and portal, plus a new Workspace hub and Connect page for your integrations.

5. Draft and Publish. Edit freely while learners keep seeing the live version, then publish when you’re ready.

6. AI Course Translation and 12 More Languages. Take a learning path into another language in a few clicks.

7. Your Own SMTP for White-label Emails. Connect your own mail server so learner emails go out from your domain, fully under your control.

8. Video Completion Rules. Require learners to finish a video before moving on, with playback controls you choose.

One small change you’ll notice: “collections” are now called learning paths. Same thing, clearer name.

Thank you for being the most demanding, supportive and brilliant community we could ask for. Let’s keep building what’s next, together.

All the best,

Hey Sumo-lings,

Since the launch of Mini Course Generator, we have stuck to one goal: to make course creation and delivery so fast and simple that anyone can share their expertise without feeling overwhelmed. Being part of the 'Tool of the Year' campaign isn't just a honor for us; it also proves we are on the right journey, fueled by our community's amazing contributions.

In 2025, we didn't just add features; we re-engineered the platform based on your feedback. We moved from 'basic' AI generation to Enriched AI Interactions that think like educators. We leveled up from simple text blocks to a Powerful Authoring Suite that rivals the industry giants. Most importantly, we ensured that as we added power, we never lost the speed you love us for.

From ADA compliance and AI voiceovers to building full in-app academies, everything we built this year was about giving you more control and more impact.

Thank you for being the most demanding, supportive, and brilliant community a founder could ask for. We’re keeping the momentum high into 2026 and beyond.

Here are the 7 headlines of our major updates in 2025:

1. Integrated Social Learning Turn static courses into conversations. Drop community spaces directly into any page. (For more details > https://minicoursegenerator.com/social-learning-lms/ )
2. Enriched AI Interaction Builder Use AI to generate context-related interactive elearning elements based on your source. First of its kind among course creation platforms. (For more details > https://minicoursegenerator.com/interactive-elearning-ai-builder/ )
3. Advanced AI Course Creator Add learning objectives for each page, new blocks beyond static text, updated AI models, and more control over AI.
4. Elevated eLearning Authoring Added powerful block sets like image hotspots, nested accordions, and a more powerful in-page AI assistant.
5. Maximized Accessibility Reach everyone with a native ADA compliance widget and AI voiceovers built right in for diverse needs.
6. Optimized Learner Journey Sell more with multi-collection showcase pages, a better payment UX, new header types, course lists, and more. (For more details > https://minicoursegenerator.com/course-landing-page-builder/ )
7. Streamlined In-App Training Embed your academy in your web-app via widgets, use a special app for Intercom Messenger, and use a headless LMS even for mobile apps. (For more details > https://minicoursegenerator.com/headless-lms-for-in-app-training/ )
8. For more information, you can check our "2025 in Review: Quick Recap" video.
9. If you are newbie to the Mini Course Generator, you can also start with checking our "The Basics" webinar.

Let’s build what’s next, together.

Last but not the least, I wish you and to the world happy, peaceful new year,

All the best,

Hi Sumo-lings 👋,

It’s great to be back :) I hope that the community is doing great!

I want to update you about recent changes and our next steps in our journey.

* The major update on the course authoring: 

To make course interfaces more flexible and enable you to reflect your creativity more in terms of learners' experience, we released the drag & drop builder.

Here is the summary of what have been changed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AObHwRViuqA

* Converting existing documents into mini-courses:

In addition to our existing model, you can now upload your PDFs and turn them into mini-courses. What makes us unique is the flexibility and customization options during this conversion. Check this video out for more details:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ-CiE8wb4I

* New updates this week

In the week of 27th of January, we will release new improvements: 

1. New languages to be added to the AI course creation. They will be Czech, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian and Romanian.

2. Visually engaging "Button" blocks will be added.

* Using AI more extensive in the existing course

Although there is already in-page AI-Assistant, we will bring more AI functions into the editor - like generating questions to be added for the end of each section. Expected release: February

* More flexibility on building course landing pages

One major update on the way is the ability to set up your collection page in a much more customized way, like drag & drop webpage builders. By doing so, even if you do not have a website, you can customize a landing page super-fast with your preferences that includes your mini-courses grouped together.

Expected release: March

* We send regular product update emails - check out your "promotions" and "spam" folder in case they do not land into your primary inbox.
