Stick is a course style for phones: learners swipe through short cards, one idea per card, and finish a lesson in a few minutes. Use it for refreshers, onboarding and teams who learn on the go, and build it by asking an AI assistant connected to AhaSlides.

​
Stick at a glance

​
Before you start

You need an AhaSlides account and an AI assistant that supports custom MCP connectors, such as Claude or ChatGPT. A Stick course is applied through the AhaSlides eLearning server:
The main AhaSlides server (https://mcp.ahaslides.com/mcp) builds courses too, but it cannot give them a course style such as Stick. If you already use it, add the eLearning server as a second connector.

​
Make a Stick course with AI

1

Connect the AhaSlides eLearning server

Follow the Claude or ChatGPT setup steps, but paste https://mcp.ahaslides.com/elearning/mcp as the server URL. Name the connector something you’ll recognise, such as AhaSlides eLearning, then sign in with your AhaSlides account.
2

Ask for a short course for phones

Name Stick directly (“Stick course plugin”) or describe what you want (“bite-size mobile course”, “TikTok-style course”). For example:
  • “Make a bite-size course my baristas can do on their phone: how to pull a good espresso shot, in 5 minutes.”
  • “Create a quick refresher on spotting a phishing email for our staff, with short cards and a couple of knowledge checks.”
  • “Turn these notes into a TikTok-style microlearning course for new starters: (paste your notes)”
Your assistant may list the style as Stick deck. Pick it if it asks which style to use.

Check the draft in AhaSlides

Open My files, click Courses in the sidebar and open the new course. Click Preview in the top bar to see it the way learners will, in the Stick style.
4

Publish and share it

Publish the course and share its link the same way as any other course. See Publish and share your course.

​
Edit a Stick course by hand

You don’t have to go back to the AI for every change. Open the course from Courses and edit its lessons, pages and blocks in the course editor, the same way as in a standard course. The editor shows the standard layout while you work; click Preview to check how your changes look in the Stick style. Learners see your changes after you publish the course again.
