1. Build a short module from a prompt
“In Skillsail, create a new module called ‘First day safety basics’ in English. Draft about 5 slides covering welcome, evacuation routes, personal protective equipment, fire extinguishers, and a one-paragraph summary. Add a 3-question quiz at the end with multiple-choice answers and feedback. Set completion to score-based at 80%.”Tip: ask the assistant to “show me a plan first, don’t apply yet” if you want to review the outline before changes are made.
2. Add a single slide
“In my ‘Phishing 101’ module, add a slide after slide 3 about red flags in suspicious emails. Keep it short — three bullet points.”
3. Rewrite an existing slide
“In my ‘Phishing 101’ module, rewrite slide 2 to be more concise and aimed at someone who is new to email security.”
4. Add a quiz question
“Add a 4-option multiple choice question to my ‘Onboarding’ module about which fire extinguisher class to use on an electrical fire. Mark the correct answer and add a one-line feedback message for each option.”
5. Translate into more languages
“Add German and Spanish to my ‘Onboarding’ module so the same content is available to learners in those languages.”Skillsail translates existing slides and questions automatically. Skim the result for terms specific to your industry.
6. Add an image to a slide
“Add an image to slide 1 of my ‘Onboarding’ module. Make it a clean illustration of an open office with people working — no logos, no text on the image.”
7. Replace or refine an image
“In my ‘Onboarding’ module, the image on slide 4 is too dark. Make it brighter and shift the framing so there’s space on the right for a caption.”
8. Add a short video
“Add a 10-second clip to slide 3 of my ‘Site safety’ module showing a worker placing a ladder on level ground.”
9. Add narration to a slide
“Generate narration for slide 2 of my ‘Onboarding’ module using the slide’s text.”To use a different script:
“Generate narration for slide 2 with this script: ‘Welcome to your first day. Today you’ll meet your team, set up your laptop, and learn how we keep each other safe.‘“
10. Publish a module as a template
“Publish my ‘Onboarding 2026’ module as a template so other teams can copy it into their workspace.”
11. Publish as a public link with a passphrase
“Publish my ‘Customer escalation playbook’ as a public link and protect it with the passphrase ‘support-2026’.“
12. Roll back to an earlier version
“List the saved versions of my ‘Onboarding’ module and restore the one from this morning. Show me what the versions look like before you restore.”
13. Use a PDF to build a module
“I’m uploading the new safety handbook PDF. Once it’s processed, draft a 6-slide module from it with a 4-question quiz at the end.”
14. Export for an LMS
“Export my ‘Onboarding 2026’ module as a SCORM 2004 package.”
15. Bulk cleanup
“In my ‘Customer service basics’ module, reorder the slides so the welcome slide is first and the summary is last. Then translate the module into German.”
Tips that apply to most jobs
- Be specific about which module you mean — by name, by the link, or by description.
- Ask the assistant to summarize a plan before applying for anything beyond a single small edit.
- Review the result. Open the module in Skillsail and skim the output — AI drafts are a great starting point but rarely a final one.
- For tone consistency, mention your audience (“aimed at someone new to…”), your length target (“about 3 sentences per slide”), and your voice (“warm and direct, no jargon”).
