Installing CourseAI

Follow these steps to install and enable the CourseAI module.

---

Step 01 — Upload the Module

In your admin dashboard, navigate to Module Manager → Modules and click Add New Module.

Upload the CourseAI.zip file you downloaded from CodeCanyon, or paste the module URL, then click Install.

---

Step 02 — Enable the Module

After installation, locate CourseAI in the module list and click Enable.

Enabling the module runs its database migrations, which create the courseai_drafts and courseai_audit_logs tables.

Step 03 — Configure Your AI Provider

Navigate to Admin → Settings → AI Provider.

Field	Description
AI Provider	Select OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude
API Key	Paste the API key for your chosen provider
Model	Optional. Leave blank to use the default model for each provider

Click Save.

Tip: You can change the provider at any time without reinstalling. All existing drafts are unaffected.

Step 04 — (Optional) Configure a Queue

By default, AI generation jobs run synchronously (inline during the request). For a smoother user experience — especially for slower AI providers — configure a background queue.

Add the following to your .env file:

COURSEAI_QUEUE_CONNECTION=database   # or: redis
COURSEAI_QUEUE_NAME=courseai-ai

Then run a queue worker:

php artisan queue:work --queue=courseai-ai

Note: Without a queue worker, generation will still work — it just runs in-request and the user waits on the page until the AI responds.

---

Step 05 — Clear Caches

php artisan optimize:clear

The AI Tools menu will now appear in the admin sidebar.
