Product Updates - Week of August 3rd, 2026
New features added this week
- CYPHER Agent course creation updates
- Two new steps have been added to the CYPHER Agent course creation process to improve course quality and reduce the time spent writing section content. These steps run automatically during course creation and can be reviewed and edited when course creators use the Step by step generation process.
- The new steps are:
- Select learning atoms
- The Select learning atoms step creates the Integrated whole and a comprehensive list of learning atoms for the course.
- The Integrated whole is a course summary displayed at the beginning of the first section of the course.
- Learning atoms are detailed units of learning that represent major concepts, events, key ideas, and other important points that reinforce the course's throughline. Each learning atom is categorized by type, such as Event, Artifact, or Concept-facet.
- Learning atoms replace the primary and secondary landmarks that were previously generated for all three story arc candidates during the Story arc step.
- Curate teaching aids
- The Curate teaching aids step generates a collection of teaching aids that CYPHER Agent can use when creating the course structure and content. These teaching aids include analogies, mnemonics, and common misconceptions that help explain concepts more effectively. CYPHER Agent may incorporate these teaching aids into the final course structure and section content as appropriate.
- These enhancements allow for higher-quality courses with more comprehensive subject coverage and faster course creation by reducing the time spent on the Write section content step, since many concepts and examples are generated earlier in the process.
