How to Use AI as a Course Creator So Your Students Experience Transformation

AI has changed the landscape for course creators. There’s no denying that.

It can generate outlines in seconds. It can draft emails, build slides, and even structure entire programs. And because of that, many digital entrepreneurs are quietly wondering whether courses will start to feel replaceable.

If AI can build content that fast, what makes my work valuable?

It’s an honest question. And I think it’s the right one.

The answer, though, isn’t found in creating more content. It’s found in understanding what people are actually paying for.

They’re not paying for information. They’re paying for guidance. They’re paying for clarity. They’re paying for someone to help them move forward.

And that’s where AI becomes interesting.

The real opportunity isn’t using AI to build faster. It’s using AI to help your students implement faster.

Most students don’t struggle because they don’t have enough information. They struggle because they don’t know how to apply what they’ve learned to their specific situation. They finish a lesson and think, “Okay… but what does this look like for me?”

That gap between learning and doing is where transformation either happens or stalls.

Over the last year, I’ve been intentionally exploring how AI can help close that gap inside my own programs. Not to replace what I teach, but to reinforce it. Not to automate leadership, but to extend it.

Here are three specific ways I’m using AI to help my students experience transformation, not just consume content.

1. Custom GPTs that apply the framework in real time

Inside the Cohort Impact Accelerator, I give students access to something called Cohort Clarity GPT. It’s not a generic chatbot. It’s trained on the frameworks I teach, the structure I believe in, and the way I help entrepreneurs design cohort-style offers.

So when a student finishes a lesson and starts second-guessing themselves, they don’t have to sit in indecision. They can open Cohort Clarity and ask how the framework applies to their niche, their audience, or their specific idea.

Instead of rewatching videos or spiraling in doubt, they interact with the structure directly. That interaction creates clarity. And clarity creates momentum.

Inside my custom GPT, we build foundational documents. We define their ideal client, their transformation, their framework, their positioning, their messaging themes, and how they deliver their offer.

Because AI amplifies whatever you feed it.

If you feed it vague thinking, it gives you vague output. If you feed it clarity, it becomes precise. AI doesn’t create authority. It accelerates what’s already clear.

2. A 24/7 AI clone that reinforces what I teach

Inside IGNITE, members have access to Lydia AI. This is my AI clone that I trained on my frameworks and the way I mentor.

If someone is stuck late at night wondering which offer to focus on, or whether something aligns with the IGNITE Growth Method, they don’t have to wait until the next live call. They can ask Lydia AI.

It responds using the same structure and philosophy I teach inside the membership. It reinforces the way I think. It reinforces the way we approach clarity, positioning, and launching.

It doesn’t replace mentorship. It extends it.

It keeps people moving instead of pausing for days while they wait for feedback. And when you remove those pauses, progress compounds.

Want to create a clone for your students and members? I highly recommend Delphi.

3. Creating visual and printable assets using NotebookLM

Another tool I’ve been using is NotebookLM, and what I love about it is that it builds

resources based only on what I upload.

• My transcripts.
• My frameworks.
• My lesson recordings.
• My documents.

It doesn’t pull random ideas from the internet. It organizes and visualizes my intellectual property.

That allows me to create structured, printable resources for my students more efficiently, even without a large team. And when students can see a framework clearly mapped out, when they can print it, reference it, and use it as a guide, implementation becomes easier.

Again, the goal isn’t more. It’s clearer structure. Clearer visuals. Clearer next steps.

AI isn’t making course creators obsolete. But it is exposing generic courses. The ones that simply hand over information without guidance or structure are going to struggle.

The future belongs to experience leaders. To cohort creators. To mentors who shorten the gap between learning and doing.

If you’re a course creator right now, here’s a question worth sitting with:

Are you using AI to create more content, or are you using it to help your students move?

Before you try to build a custom GPT or an AI clone, open one lesson inside your course.

Look at where your students tend to hesitate. Where do they get stuck? Where do they overthink?

Then ask yourself how you might use AI to remove just one friction point.

You don’t have to overhaul everything. Just solve one gap between learning and action.

If you want support building the clarity behind your framework and learning how to layer AI on top of that clarity in a way that strengthens your authority, that’s exactly what we do inside IGNITE and Cohort Impact Accelerator.

AI is not a shortcut. It’s an accelerator. One that can increase transformation for your students.

The question is not whether AI will change your business. It’s whether you will rise into the kind of leader who knows how to use it well.
