Mindsmith is an AI-native eLearning authoring tool. Its built-in Agent takes source material such as documents, presentations, videos, course outlines, SME materials, SOP documents or other Mindsmith lessons and shapes it into an interactive lesson based on a designer's learning objectives.
The company says more than 16,000 eLearning designers use it. It targets people who want both quality and speed, and it puts live AI conversations, branching scenarios, animated video and analytics in one workspace instead of splitting them across separate tools.
Mindsmith organizes its workflow into four steps: generate, author, share and analyze. In the generate step, the Agent builds a lesson from your source material. Storyboards keep the designer in control, so the content can follow the source verbatim or be shaped with instructions, and custom skills tune the Agent to a team's style.
In the author step, designers refine the lesson in a workspace with real-time collaboration and inline commenting. Sharing happens through a link, SCORM package or xAPI, and dynamic packages update when changes are published. The analyze step reports completion rates, score breakdowns and answer distributions.
The authoring workspace offers more than 30 interactive elements. Content elements include text, tables, timelines, image comparison sliders, audio and custom code. Practice elements include multiple choice, short answer with AI grading, ranking, matching, sorting, flashcards, hotspots, simulations and charts.
The standout elements are the Conversation element, which provides AI-powered voice dialogue practice, and the Branching Scenario element for choose-your-own-path decision trees. Mindsmith also creates animated videos with custom AI avatars and interactive video overlays.
Beyond authoring, the platform supports 70+ languages, brand styling, enterprise access controls and an MCP connector that lets Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT create and manage lessons.
