Item and Exercise Creation (Open Beta)
Volt's item and exercise creation agents allow you to generate learning items and exercises from natural language instructions. These features are currently in Open Beta, available to Admins and Owners with Volt enabled.
Overview
Creating learning items takes time — Volt's creation agents are here to speed that up. Describe what you need and Volt will build a structured item or exercise for you, using your platform's existing item framework.
The following creation agents are available within this feature area:
Item Creator — Generates a new learning item using your platform's item framework
Exercise Creator — Creates exercises within items
Exercise Remover — Removes exercises from items (also available as an update action — see Updating Items with Volt (Open Beta))
This feature is currently in Open Beta. You can enable it from Company Settings → AI Features.

FAQs
Q: What framework does Volt use to create items?
Volt uses your platform's standard item framework — the same structure you'd use when creating items manually. This keeps everything consistent across your content library.
Q: Can I use Item Creator alongside other agents?
Yes. For example, you could create an item with Item Creator and immediately ask Volt to add exercises to it, or use File Upload to base the item on an uploaded document.
Q: How do I update or modify an item after Volt creates it?
You can either edit the item manually on the platform, or use Volt's Item Updater and Exercise Updater agents. See Updating Items with Volt (Open Beta) for guidance.
