CourseAgent vs Easygenerator - what's the difference?
Both platforms are built around making course creation accessible to non-specialists. The differences are in how deeply AI is embedded, what happens after you build, and the features that exist in one platform but not the other.
Deeper AI capability
CourseAgent's AI applies genuine instructional design principles - not just content generation. Easygenerator's AI assists with content; CourseAgent structures, audits and adapts it.
AI Compare & Update
When source material changes, CourseAgent identifies exactly which course sections are affected and updates them automatically. No other platform offers this capability.
Skills & CPD built in
CourseAgent includes a complete Skills & Competencies framework and CPD tracking system. Easygenerator has no equivalent capability.

Where CourseAgent goes further
AI that designs, not just writes.
Easygenerator democratised course creation for subject matter experts - it was one of the first platforms to make authoring genuinely accessible to non-specialists. That's a real achievement and a genuine strength.
CourseAgent builds on that foundation with AI that does more than assist with content. The quality audit layer reviews every course against six instructional design standards. The Compare & Update feature identifies exactly which sections are affected when source material changes. The Adaptation feature rebuilds a course for a different audience, sector or regulatory context in minutes rather than weeks.
These aren't features that exist anywhere else. They reflect twenty years of professional course design experience built into the generation process itself - not just a language model connected to a content editor.
Quality audit - 6 layers
Coherence, assessment quality, inclusive language, accessibility, objective alignment, enhancement opportunities. Automated, specific, actionable.
Gap-to-course brief
When a skill gap is identified, AI generates a course brief to close it automatically - the loop between diagnosis and solution is closed in one step.
Content distribution
Share courses directly to partner organisations' CourseAgent accounts - no SCORM download and re-upload required.
Where they are similar
Both are designed for non-specialist authors.
Easygenerator and CourseAgent share a core philosophy: course creation should not require specialist authoring tool skills. Both platforms are browser-based, both support SME-led content creation, and both produce content that can be exported as SCORM or delivered through a hosted environment.
If your primary requirement is a clean, simple authoring interface for subject matter experts who need to create courses quickly and without training - both platforms will serve that need. The differences emerge when you look at what happens around the authoring: the AI depth, the delivery infrastructure, and the skills and CPD layer.
Easygenerator is particularly well established in the European market and has strong enterprise references. If those relationships and references are important to your procurement process, that's worth considering.
Both are browser-based
No desktop software to install. Works on Mac and Windows. Accessible from anywhere.
Both target non-specialist authors
SMEs, HR teams, training managers - neither platform requires specialist e-learning design skills.
Both export SCORM
Both platforms produce SCORM packages compatible with any LMS, with dynamic and static options available.
