A side-by-side editorial comparison of Easygenerator and Pear Deck — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Easygenerator ships an AI co-author that builds entire courses through conversation.
Easygenerator has launched EasyAI Agent, a built-in AI co-author that generates and refines courses through conversational interaction rather than manual editing. Surrounding releases—AI-assisted roleplay creation, question-level SCORM reporting, SCIM 2.0 identity provider support, and bulk user management—show a product systematically raising its capability floor across authoring, administration, and analytics.
Pear Deck adds LTI 1.3 for Canvas and Schoology; most other entries are pointers.
The feed alternates between release-note pointers with no content and a few substantive posts. The substantive ones cover AI workflows for test creation, analysis and curriculum alignment across Pear Deck and Pear Assessment, in beta in May and extended in August, and LTI 1.3 support for Canvas and Schoology on October 14. A Q3 overview post for Pear Assessment links out without detail.

EasyAI Agent repositions Easygenerator from authoring editor to course-generation platform. Combined with EasyCoach Assistant for roleplay creation and collaborative review workflows, the product is building an AI-mediated authoring loop: AI generates, humans review, AI refines. The SCIM 2.0 and bulk user management additions target enterprise IT requirements, indicating a deliberate upmarket push alongside the AI authoring capabilities.
The next integration point is the review-AI loop: AI-generated drafts reviewed by collaborators, with revision requests fed back to the AI agent in a single workflow. The current gap between AI generation and human review modes is the obvious seam to close.

Recent visible work is about fitting into district systems, with LMS standards and admin coverage controls, alongside the AI assessment workflows. Most release detail stays outside the feed.
More release-note pointers are likely; whether the AI workflows leave beta is unclear from the feed.
