Go back to the addon settings and paste the key into the designated field and save the settings:
Now you can go and set up billing to use the feature.
OpenAI charges for its API based on usage, so if you haven’t already set up a payment method for billing, you’ll need to do so. Otherwise, the API key you created won’t function.
On the opened page, move to the Billing tab and click on Add Payment Details:
Enter your card information and billing:
Set up the payment amount and/or automatic recharge settings according to your needs, and initiate the payment:
Now you’ve set up billing, it’s a good idea to set usage limits to control your monthly API spending. Simply click Limits in the left menu, set your desired monthly budget, and choose an email notification threshold according to your needs. Finally, click Save to apply your settings.
You can also check the usage over your API right on the Usage section of the Addon Setting page:

Go to the WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Courses, then click on the Generate Course button:
On the opened page, you will see a special field dedicated to generating a course via prompt using AI. Click on Generate Entire Course:
Now, we need a clear and specific prompt that describes your course.
Who is the course for? Mention the target audience and their skill level.
What will learners achieve? Describe learning goals and outcomes.
What topics should it cover? Name specific subjects, themes, or modules.
What should the course image depict? Help create a relevant and eye-catching visual.
Preferred tone or style? Casual, academic, motivational, etc.
Optionally, include any preferences for how lessons are written (e.g., “use emojis,” “include examples,” etc).
📝 Here is the example prompt:
I want to create a course called "Digital Marketing Basics" for young entrepreneurs and students aged 16 to 35. The course should introduce topics like SEO, content strategy, social media marketing, and email campaigns. Learners should gain enough knowledge to start promoting their own brand or freelance service online.
For the course image, please show a group of diverse students at laptops learning marketing tools in a modern, colorful setting. Use a friendly, encouraging tone with real-life examples and emojis in the text. Lessons should include short intros and 3–4 key points.
Enter the prompt in the designated area:
Now, provide the rest of the details of the course and proceed by clicking the ✨Generate Entire Course button:
Note that if you enable Create course outline only setting, AI will only generate section and lesson titles without any content.
It takes some time for AI to generate an entire course with lessons. Be patient and do not close the tab during the course generation:
You will see the ready course preview with short and long descriptions, course cover image, and curriculum:
If you do not like the AI-generated course, you have several options:
You can do it by clicking the Regenerate button on the right sidebar. It simply regenerates the course without changing your original prompt:
Once you are satisfied with the outputs, proceed by the Save and Continue button:
IMPORTANT
Be careful, if you close the tab without clicking the save button, the generated course will be lost. It will not be saved as a draft either.
After that, the system starts generating lesson contents. The same, wait patiently and do not close the tab:
Once it's done, proceed by clicking the Save and Continue button:
Now, you can check the contents one by one and the rest of the settings.
Please check each lesson, quiz, and assignment and their content one by one. AI can make mistakes. You can use individual AI tools in each lesson to improve text content and add relevant images.
Move to the Settings tab, and check the course title, cover image, description, and provide other relevant details (course category, level, duration, etc.):
In this step, set pricing for the course on the Pricing tab and check the Course FAQs on the FAQ tab:
Now the course is ready to be published. You can change the course status from Draft to Published:

Keep the tone formal, the style explanatory, and ensure that the script includes clear transitions and engaging explanations suitable for a 5-minute lesson video. Add one relevant image concept for visual aid.
Then, click on the ✨Generate button to proceed:
