What is Training in Opus?
Training in Opus isn't just about ticking boxes — it's about building real skills that drive results. The best part? You don't have to do this alone. With Opus AI Assist, building and customizing both modules and courses is faster, smarter, and more effective than ever. Here's how it breaks down:
Modules = Step-by-step training with a specific outcome
A module is a series of short courses, check-ins, and resources, all designed to help an employee achieve a clear goal—like passing their food safety certification or mastering the opening shift.
Courses are quick, 3–5 minute lessons that teach the skills and knowledge needed to reach that goal.
Check-ins let managers capture in-person training moments and reinforce what’s been learned on the job.
Resources—like SOPs, recipes, or job aids—give team members something to refer back to when they need it. Resources can be added to modules as documents, videos, or other reference materials.
Building Modules with AI Assist
What is the AI Module Builder?
The AI Module Builder drastically improves how you create custom training modules by automatically generating:
Clear learning objectives and detailed audience profiles
Structured course and check-in outlines
Comprehensive descriptions and content for each course and check-in
AI Assist works like a training expert who creates modules for you. They are ready to use with minimal editing.
💡 The left side of the Module generator shows the outline and content that AI Assist generates for your training.
The right side is where you interact with AI Assist—giving feedback, making edits, and refining the content to fit your needs.
How to Access the Module Builder (Step-by-Step)
In the Opus dashboard, open the Modules section from the left menu.
Click the blue + New Module button to launch the AI Module Builder modal.

Or skip and just write a prompt
Tip: Upload only up-to-date materials to ensure accurate training.
Write a clear prompt: Describe the following to give your outline clarity and focus:

Optionally upload background materials or select existing resources
Write a prompt describing the course focus and objectives

Creating Effective Courses with AI

Use assessments frequently to check understanding of training
Incorporate multimedia (images, videos) for engagement
Review for brand voice and accuracy
How to Write Prompts for AI Assist
To get the most out of AI-generated training, start with a clear, specific prompt. Include:
The learning goal – what should employees be able to do after training?
The audience or role – who is this training for?
The key skills or topics to cover.
Any special instructions – formats, assessments, or focus areas.
Clear prompts help the AI create modules and courses that are accurate, practical, and easy to use in real-world training.
🎯 Example of a good prompt
“Create a training module for new front-of-house team members to confidently take customer orders and handle transactions. Include key skills like menu knowledge, POS operation, and customer service etiquette. Add two scenario-based check-ins to reinforce learning.”
