Your course is already written.
(Well, at least a version of your course already exists)
Problem is, our expertise is scattered across different drives and folders... or for some of us, it only exists in our head.
Which is why a lot of experts struggle with the "blank page" situation.
You know how this goes. You wanted to create a course or a digital product so you block a weekend to build it.
You open a doc. You stare at Module 1, Lesson 1... and everything you've taught for years suddenly evaporates from your brain.
For some reason, you don't know where to start.
When experts try to fix this with AI, I usually see one of these things:
They use prompts and let AI draft their lessons for them.
They refuse to use AI at all.
They ask AI to interview them and use that to create the course.
The first one gets you a generic course.
The second one often leads to burnout and frustration.
But the third one? It eliminates the blank page syndrome and generic course output.
Hear me out.
When you ask AI to interview you, you don't have to worry about how to start. AI will drive that conversation to extract your expertise.
And because AI will use your answers as the basis of the course content, your course will be 100% aligned on your own frameworks and experience.
It's a great strategy.
But there's a better way.
Instead of asking AI to interview you about your course topic, ask it to collect your expertise.
Let AI scan your entire drive and find your workshop recordings. The client call notes. That training you delivered twice and never packaged. The framework doc you wrote in 2023 and forgot about.
Ask AI to find your teaching moments and materials that already exist.
Here's how...
Point AI at your content. Connect your Google Drive, or gather the folders... recordings, transcripts, call notes, old trainings.
Ask it to scan everything against your course topic: which files hold teaching material and what each one covers.
Ask it to map out your curriculum, if you don't have one. If you do, ask it to map the materials to each lesson in your curriculum.
In just a few minutes, you'll know exactly how much of your course is already written.
If you're a coach, the gold is in your group call recordings.
Author? The talks and interviews around your book.
Speaker? Every keynote transcript you never repurposed.
I promise you, you'll find enough stuff to get started because most experts don't have a content problem.
By the way, if you want to see the full setup, I recorded a demo on how to use the new ChatGPT Work for this whole thing.
Essentially, using it as your own Course Production Assistant.
