Onur is the co-founder of Mini Course Generator. He started using AI for educational content creation in 2021, back when “ai agents” wasn't a LinkedIn headline yet; roughly two years before the ChatGPT hype. A father and a committed believer in the kaizen approach, he's more interested in small, continuous improvements that compound into something remarkable than in chasing the next big thing. Outside of work, he enjoys swimming (and chilling) in the Aegean Sea for long hours during summer, and waiting for summer to come during the rest of the year.

Most Claude Skills content targets developers or teachers. Here is what Skills and connectors do for people who build workplace training, and what to skip.

An honest maturity map of AI in learning and development: what genuinely works today, what is oversold, and the two jobs no agent should be handed yet.

Three coding agents, three MCP setups, one honest verdict on which is worth using for course creation and which is a workflow you will abandon in a week.

Two ways to create an online course with ChatGPT: the copy-paste method and the connected one. Where each breaks, and the prompt that returns a live course.

Six MCP use cases that hold up in L&D, what an MCP server actually does for training work, and what connecting one involves. No developer needed at all.

Every AI course tool stops at publish. Here is what an agent can do in the eleven months after, with the prompts, the data it needs, and what to never automate.

An agentic LMS is one where an AI agent creates, runs and updates courses. Here is what separates it from an AI-powered LMS, and what it still cannot do.

We tried to compare three LMS MCP servers and could only verify one. Here is the evaluation framework that came out of it, and what the tool list tells you.
