This page is for administrators. The AI Course Builder’s settings live at Site administration → Plugins → Local plugins → AI Course Builder.

Caution

Content and image generation can take 30–120 seconds per call. If your site is behind a reverse proxy, make sure its read timeout is high enough (for example, ≥ 180 seconds) so long generations aren’t cut off.

Usage log

Every provider call is logged (user, course, purpose, provider, units, and estimated cost) and surfaced in a simple admin report — useful for keeping an eye on AI usage and cost.
