The rapid expansion of educational video content on platforms such as YouTube has significantly increased access to knowledge. However, the vast volume and inconsistent quality of content create major challenges in identifying structured, reliable, and goal-oriented learning resources. Existing recommendation systems primarily optimize for engagement metrics rather than pedagogical coherence or personalized learning objectives. This paper presents Course Crafter, an AI-driven personalized course generation and recommendation system that transforms unstructured video content into structured learning pathways. The system integrates the Google Gemini API for natural language understanding and automated content generation with the YouTube Data API v3 for intelligent educational video retrieval. Based on a user’s input topic, the platform automatically generates a hierarchical course outline, fetches high-quality instructional videos, produces concise AI-generated summaries, and creates formative assessment quizzes to reinforce learning outcomes. Additionally, the system incorporates persistent progress tracking, enabling learners to save their advancement and resume courses seamlessly. Experimental evaluation demonstrates efficient real-time performance with high topic-to-video relevance accuracy and positive user feedback. Course Crafter contributes to the advancement of AI-assisted education by demonstrating how generative language models and multimedia retrieval systems can be integrated to create scalable, adaptive, and self-paced digital learning environments.
