How it works

1

Upload your book

Send us a PDF, EPUB, or Word doc. Any length, any topic — business, self-help, teaching, coaching, or textbook material. You keep all rights.

2

AI converts it to a course

We break your book into lessons, generate slide decks, write quiz questions, and set up discussion prompts — all from your own material. You review and tweak before it goes live.

3

Sell to your students

Your course lives at coursebud.io/you/your-course (or your own subdomain on Pro). Students pay you directly via Stripe. We handle hosting, progress tracking, and certificates.
