coursetemplates.ai vs Articulate Storyline
Storyline is a mature desktop authoring tool (~$1,449/yr) you build in by hand. coursetemplates.ai is a set of finished course templates you edit with AI, free during early access. They are complementary rather than either/or: keep Storyline for what it does well, and use these for the courses — or the parts of a course — it cannot build.

FAQ
Do I have to leave Storyline?
No, and we would not suggest it. Keep the courses you have built and keep building in Storyline where it suits you. These are for the next course, or for the parts of one your tool cannot make. There is no converter and no import — this is a separate way to build, not a migration.
Start with a course that already works. Download it, tell your AI what to change, and it tracks in your LMS without you configuring anything.
