Artificial Intelligence has been the talk of the town for a while now, with ChatGPT being one of the most significant AI-related advancements this year.
ChatGPT has been trained with machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques and demonstrates extraordinary natural language processing capabilities. The result? This unique technology has reshaped content creation, making it faster and more effortless than ever.
Naturally, the eLearning industry couldn’t be left unaffected – we see all the more Learning Management Systems incorporating AI technology to offer automations, facilitate content creation, and help educators and trainers build personalized learning paths.
In this post, we compare 5 top AI-driven platforms and their AI capabilities regarding content creation: LearnWorlds, Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable, and EdApp.
While all five platforms use AI to speed up content creation, they do not use it for the same purpose. Some apply AI primarily to marketing and promotion, while others use it to support instructional design and learning effectiveness. This distinction is essential when evaluating AI-powered learning management systems.

Which AI-powered LMS best supports instructional design, content creation, and learner outcomes?
When comparing LearnWorlds and Kajabi from an instructional design perspective, the difference is clear. LearnWorlds treats AI as a pedagogical assistant, designed to help educators make better instructional decisions and create effective learning experiences. Kajabi, on the other hand, applies AI primarily as a marketing and content acceleration tool, supporting promotion rather than learning design.
As you can see, LearnWorlds stands as the leading AI-based Learning Management System, equipped with an unparalleled AI assistant that proactively guides you.
Here are some exclusive features you won’t find in any other platform but LearnWorlds:
What’s remarkable about the LearnWorlds AI Assistant is that it helps you grow as an online educator.

This learning-first approach is what ultimately sets LearnWorlds apart in a landscape where AI is often used to sell content rather than improve how people learn. Try LearnWorlds today with a 30-day free trial and work your magic with the help of the most advanced AI assistant.
