Course Builder
helio / course-builderGive it the subject, grade level, and pacing. Your AI teammate produces the lesson plan, slide outline, and practice questions for the next class — every week, matched to where the course actually is.
Produce next week's lesson for my 9th grade algebra class at "solving systems of equations": a lesson plan, a slide outline, and eight practice questions with answer keys, all matched to grade level. Ask me what you need before you start.
Swap in your subject, grade level, and syllabus position. It re-runs every week on your teaching pace.
What is Course Builder?
It produces next week's lesson plan, slide outline, and practice questions matched to exactly where your syllabus is, then checks each question's difficulty against the grade level. It won't grade real student submissions; partial credit and context stay your call.
What it does
Any chatbot writes a lesson plan once. Helio runs it as a standing job — from your context, kept current, delivered to you.
| Owns the whole job | It plans the lesson, builds the slides and questions, and checks difficulty against grade level, every week. |
| Runs again without starting over | Once your pacing is set, next week's prep is produced on schedule before the class. |
| Writes from your context | It reads your syllabus and lesson library in Notion and matches your course structure. |
| Keeps itself current | Change the pacing mid-course and the next lesson reflects it, with long-term memory of your syllabus. |
| Lands where you work | The lesson plan, slide outline, and question set arrive as files in Slack, Lark, or email. |
Three things it gets right
Matched to your syllabus position
Each lesson targets the exact point your course has reached, keyed to your syllabus pacing.
Difficulty checked to grade level
Every practice question is checked against the stated grade level, and off-level ones are flagged with a suggested adjustment.
Answer keys verified against the lesson
Answer explanations are checked against the lesson's actual content before anything reaches a student.
What Course Builder connects to.
Questions
- Does it know my specific curriculum?
- Give it your syllabus and pacing once, and every subsequent lesson is produced against that specific structure, not a generic course outline.
- Can it grade student work too?
- It can draft answer keys and rubrics, but grading actual student submissions is a separate workflow that still needs your judgment on partial credit and context.
- What if I need to adjust the pacing mid-course?
- Tell it the new pacing and the next lesson prep reflects it — it doesn't keep producing material for a schedule you've already moved past.
- Does it work for non-classroom teaching (corporate training, etc.)?
- Yes — the same workflow applies to any structured teaching context with a defined syllabus and audience level.
