# How do I generate a screen with AI?

Generate an individual screen from a description, an existing screen, or both, so you can build content without starting from scratch.

As well as generating whole courses, you can generate a single screen with AI, based on a description you write, an existing screen you point it at, or a combination of both. AI can generate these screen types: Text and image, Accordion, Process, Flashcards, and Checklist.

## Generate a screen

1. In the course editor, select **\+ Add screen** and choose the screen type you want.  
2. Choose **Generate screen** (rather than Start from scratch).  
3. Give the AI something to work from:  
   - **Enter a description** of the content you want, and/or  
   - **Choose one or more reference screens** to guide the structure and style.  
4. Select **Generate**. AI creates the screen, with related images, ready for you to review and edit.

## The three ways to generate a screen

- **Description only:** AI builds the screen from your prompt. Best when you know the content but have nothing to reference.  
- **Reference screen(s) only:** one screen is transformed into a different screen type while keeping its core message; several screens are merged into one new screen.  
- **Description and reference together:** AI prioritises your description and uses the reference screens as extra context, which keeps the result consistent with your existing content.
