AI lesson ideas

When you're starting from a blank document, AI lesson ideas (AiLessonIdeaDialog.jsx) suggests a batch of lesson topics to pick from — each a short title plus a one-line description — rather than writing the lesson body. Pick one and it seeds a new lesson you then flesh out with the editor and the other AI helpers.

The suggestions are tailored to the age range the lesson is pitched at (see src/lib/ageRanges.js), which is stored on the lesson document.

How it works

Like the AI text and AI question helpers, it goes through the same Turnstile-verified Worker (apps/api):

1. A Cloudflare Turnstile widget verifies the request.
2. The verified token and the chosen ageRange are POSTed to the Worker with mode: "lessonIdea".
3. The Worker re-checks the token server-side, asks the model for a batch of ideas, and returns them as { "ideas": [{ "title", "description" }] }.

The frontend wrapper is suggestLessonIdeas() in @spelling-creator/core/aiSuggest. This feature needs the same VITE_API_URL / VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY as the other AI helpers (see Getting started).

A dismissable first-lesson wizard (FirstLessonWizard.jsx) — a floating, non-modal walkthrough that auto-shows once for newcomers and can be reopened from the editor's help button — points people at this and the other authoring tools.
