# Generate a lesson plan with AI

> Type one line about what you're teaching and AI drafts an ordered list of topics — each with a title, a one-line description, a module grouping, and a rough class length. They land as cards in the Upcoming column, ready to edit.

A blank board is the hardest part of planning. The Tracker's AI removes it: describe the course in plain language — who it's for and what it covers — and AI returns a sensible, ordered teaching sequence you can refine, rather than a blank page.

*A one-line purpose becomes an ordered set of topic cards, grouped into modules.*

## At creation, or anytime after

You can generate a plan two ways. When you create a board, choose 'AI lesson plan' and write the purpose — the topics are drafted before the board even opens. On any existing board, click ✨ Generate cards in the header to draft more topics from the board's purpose; they're appended to whatever's already there, never overwriting your edits.

## Write a good purpose

The more specific your purpose, the better the plan. Name the subject, the level, the audience, and roughly how long the course runs.

- Good: "6-week beginner Python for commerce students, no prior coding"
- Good: "Grade 10 Trigonometry, exam-focused, 12 sessions"
- Weak: "English" — too broad; you'll get generic topics

Every topic AI returns is a normal card. Edit the title or description, change the duration, drag it to reorder, move it between columns, or delete it. The AI gives you a strong first draft — you stay in control of the final plan.

> **Note:** AI lesson plans use your workspace's AI allowance, so they're available on paid plans. On a free plan the button prompts you to upgrade rather than failing silently. If AI is briefly unavailable, the board is still created — just blank — so you never lose your work.
