Consider AI-powered agents—specifically Genspark.ai and Manis.im—to automate course creation and website setup. These tools go beyond basic prompting by executing multi-step tasks, such as sourcing videos, writing course content, designing a course structure, and even generating a fully functional course website or PDF—based on just a few sentences from the user.

Watch how Genspark.ai was able to create an entire online course on podcasting using publicly available YouTube videos. Without writing any content I received a 10-module course, a polished website, and a downloadable PDF—proving that AI agents can dramatically speed up content development. However, he also emphasizes the importance of cost-awareness and strategic use, since frequent use of such tools may consume credits quickly. Ultimately, James encourages course creators to think beyond just content and consider using these agents for tasks like email campaigns, marketing, and admin work.
