Fayne connects to the AI assistant you already use. Once connected, you can ask it in your own words to work on your academy: write and restructure courses, set your logo, price a course, invite a group, or tell you who has gone quiet. It works in the academies you choose, with the access you give it, and price changes, sales, emails to members and changes to their access wait for your yes. The connection uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard assistants use to talk to apps, which is why your assistant may call it a "connector", "app", "plugin" or "MCP server". > [card] [Connect your assistant](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/connect.md) > > Step-by-step setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and others. > [card] [What you can ask](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/what-you-can-do.md) > > Example requests for courses, design, selling, members and analytics. > [card] [Permissions](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/permissions.md) > > Choose which academies and areas an assistant can reach, and change it any time. > [card] [How changes stay safe](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/safety.md) > > Drafts, previews you confirm, safe retries, and editing alongside your assistant. ## What it can do > [accordion] Courses and lessons > > Find, read and search your courses. Write new lessons, edit existing ones block by block, organize lessons into modules, set drip schedules, publish lesson changes, copy courses from the Explore Library, and add images. Every connection can do this. > [accordion] Look and feel > > Change your brand color, theme, tagline and certificate design; set your logo, favicon, cover, social image and certificate signature; edit and publish your About page; manage sidebar links and welcome questions. > [accordion] Pricing and offers > > Price a course, create offers, bundles and the Academy Pass, set their prices, put them on sale, and create coupons. Price changes and sales show you a preview first; a coupon is live as soon as it's created, so your assistant checks the code and discount with you. Only for connections you allow to. > [accordion] Members and messages > > Invite members, give people courses, manage lists, send reminder emails and remove members. Anything that emails people or changes their access shows you a preview first. Only for connections you allow to. > [accordion] Analytics and people > > Read where members drop off, which courses are working, revenue, survey results, and who has gone quiet. Read-only. Only for connections you allow to. > [accordion] Your academies > > Work across every academy you own or manage, see an overview of what's missing in each, keep notes on your audience and voice, and create a new academy. The full list, with every input, is in the [tool reference](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/tool-reference.md). ## How it works You keep talking to your assistant as usual. When a request involves your academy, it calls Fayne's tools: 1. **It reads first.** It looks at the course, lesson or settings it's about to change. 2. **It makes the change, or prepares it.** Lesson text goes to drafts. Prices, sales, invitations, reminders and access changes come back as a preview with exactly what will happen, and nothing changes yet. 3. **You check.** It tells you what changed and gives you a link to see it, or shows you the preview and waits. 4. **It confirms only after your yes.** A preview runs exactly as shown, or not at all if something changed in the meantime. If you have the course editor open while your assistant works, its changes appear there within seconds, and your own unsaved typing is never overwritten. See [How changes stay safe](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/safety.md). ## Before you start * **A Fayne account with an academy**, as the owner or an admin. Every plan can connect. A paused academy stays readable but can't be changed until its plan is active again. * **An assistant that supports remote MCP connectors.** Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI and most other current assistants do. Availability can depend on your assistant's plan or workspace settings; see [Connect your assistant](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/connect.md). > [!NOTE] > > You don't need a connected assistant to use Fayne's own AI: course generation, the lesson AI and the Learning Assistant are built in. A connected assistant is for when you'd rather work from the tool you already have open, across everything in your academy. ## Course creation works lesson by lesson A connected assistant builds courses the way you'd build them with a colleague: it agrees an outline with you, creates the course and modules, then writes each lesson so you can steer it as it grows. It doesn't start Fayne's background course generator. To generate a whole course in one go, use [AI course generation](https://fayneos.com/docs/content/ai-course-generation.md) in the app. ## Get help * [Troubleshooting](https://fayneos.com/docs/ai-assistants/troubleshooting.md) covers connection problems and every error message. * Your assistant can read these pages too. Ask it to "read Fayne's docs on connecting" and it will look them up. * Still stuck?
