The basic flow

In any Moodle editor, select the text you want to work from (optional for image tools).
Open AI Tools — from the toolbar button, the Insert menu, or by right-clicking the selection.
Pick a tool from the gallery. The form is prefilled with your selected text.
Adjust the options and select Generate.
Preview the result, then select Insert to place it at your selection.
Save the activity as normal — saving stores any generated files.

Media tools (generate a file and insert it):

Tool	What it inserts	Options
Image	An image	Prompt (from your selection), aspect ratio
Infographic	An image	Prompt, aspect ratio, density
Audio narration	An audio player	Text, voice
Avatar video	A video player	Script, avatar, voice, resolution (720p/1080p)

Text tools (rework the selected text in place):

Tool	What it does	Options
Summarize	Condenses the text	Style (short / paragraph / key points)
Simplify	Lowers the reading level	Level (Plain / Grade 6 / ESL)
Translate	Translates the text	Target language (many presets)
List / Table	Restructures the text	Bullets, numbered, or table

Text tools can either replace your selection or insert after it, depending on the tool.

Image, infographic, audio, and text tools generate while you wait — a spinner shows progress, then a preview.
Avatar video runs as a background job (roughly 1–3 minutes). Keep the page open; if you close the dialog, a notification appears when the video is ready, and reopening AI Tools lets you insert it.

Errors appear as a readable message inside the dialog with a Back option to try again — your work in the editor isn’t lost.
