    The method

    How it's calculated.

    This calculator turns training time saved into a real figure: the hours your team spends building each course by hand across a year, plus the hours spent keeping content current — versus AI that drafts and updates courses in minutes. What's left is the time your team gets back every year.

    01

    Building by hand

    Courses per year × hours to build each, plus the hours spent updating content through the year. That's the production time learning owns today.

    02

    Building with AI

    ContentBuilder drafts courses, video and quizzes from your existing material and updates them in place — cutting production and maintenance time by roughly 90%.

    03

    Hours you get back

    What's left is the time your team reclaims every year — hours redirected from formatting slides to actually teaching.

    Why the numbers hold up

    Time Saved Calculator FAQ

    Training time saved is the production time you reclaim by letting AI build and maintain courses. This calculator adds the hours to build each course by hand across a year to the hours spent updating content, then compares that to AI that drafts and updates courses in minutes — roughly 90% less time.

    Everything from blank page to publish: outlining, writing, sourcing or filming video, designing slides, building quizzes and formatting. For a substantial course that's often 20–80 hours of skilled time, which the calculator lets you set to match your own process.

    Yes — maintenance is where a lot of hidden time goes. Products change, policies change, and someone has to re-open every affected course. The update slider captures those hours across the year, because AI that edits content in place is where much of the saving comes from.

    It's free and not gated — run it as often as you like with no account. An optional email sends a PDF of your inputs and estimated hours saved; you never need it just to use the calculator.

    ContentBuilder turns your existing documents and recordings into structured courses, video and quizzes automatically, and lets you update them in place. Your team moves from formatting slides for weeks to reviewing a draft in an afternoon.
