Sunday, 10pm, a lesson with a new student tomorrow at 9am — and you still don't know where to start. Sound familiar? The blank page before prep isn't a sign of a bad teacher — it's simply the most time-consuming part of the job: find material, invent exercises, put together a quiz, format it well enough to actually show someone.
AI in Lektobox doesn't replace that prep work — it removes exactly the blank page, leaving you with the part you actually want to do: tweak it, add your own example, cut what doesn't fit.
Why this genuinely saves time
The key thing here isn't one "make me a lesson" button — it's a tool available at every step. Creating a course? Describe the topic, and you get a first lesson right away: text, a quiz, and flashcards together. Writing a lesson by hand instead? Every step has its own "Generate with AI" button — for text, for a quiz, for a game.
That's the key difference from "just copy something off the internet": generated content lands directly in Lektobox's own format — as individual steps, with a quiz you can run right there as a checkpoint, and flashcards ready to become a game in the lesson.
Prepping from scratch vs. starting from an AI draft
| What needs doing | From scratch | With an AI draft |
|---|---|---|
| Find material on the topic | Search across several sites, compile by hand | A one-sentence topic description |
| Put together exercises and a quiz | Invent from scratch, check the difficulty level | A draft version ready, just needs a review |
| Prepare flashcards for review | Separate work, often skipped for lack of time | Generated together with the lesson |
| Handling an unfamiliar topic | Spend time researching it yourself first | A topic description — the draft already has a structure |
| Risk of a blank page that evening | High — right when you have the least time | Minimal — there's always something to start from |
AI doesn't decide what to teach here — the level, the emphasis, and the final version of every exercise stay yours to shape. It just removes the moment of staring at an empty editor with no idea where to begin.
Try it on your own course — you can generate a first AI lesson right after signing up, and the free plan supports it.

1. When creating a course
"Courses" → "Add course" — describe the topic and level instead of a blank title, and the first lesson appears already filled in: text, a quiz, and flashcards. From there, edit it however you like.
2. On any step of an existing lesson
Open a lesson in a course's "Curriculum" tab → a step → the "Generate with AI" button under the text field. Describe what that specific step should cover — generation replaces just that block's content, not the whole lesson.
3. Same goes for quizzes and games
The "Generate with AI" button is also in the quiz builder and when creating a flashcard game ("Games" → "Add game" → "Generate with AI") — just describe what the quiz or card set should contain.
4. Always preview before the lesson
"Preview" shows the generated content exactly as the student will see it — a good habit to run through before the first time you actually use it, rather than trusting it blindly.
The blank page no longer eats up the evening before a lesson — what's left is the part that genuinely needs your judgment: tailoring an example to this particular student.
