AI chatbot widget for Skilljar courses
Kelly Mullaney shared a really fun project for adding an in-course AI assistant directly into Skilljar courses. After exploring several options, Kelly built a floating AI chat widget that allows learners to ask questions within a course—using the course content itself as context.
If you’re experimenting with AI to enhance learner support, this could be a great starting point. The Product team is actually building a similar feature natively in Skilljar that we can't wait to share with you soon!
