Articulate Rise is beloved for its speed and ease of use, but every designer eventually hits the "Wall"—that moment when the standard block library just can't do what you envisioned. Usually, the answer is "you can't do that in Rise." In this session, we are changing the answer to "yes, you can." We will show you how to break out of the standard constraints by using Custom Blocks powered by "Vibe Coding." You don't need to be a JavaScript expert; you just need to know how to ask the right questions. We will demonstrate how to use AI to write the code for you and how to hook up AI APIs to create dynamic, intelligent interactions that standard Rise courses could never support.

In this session, you will learn:

• What is "Vibe Coding"?: How to use AI tools to generate functional HTML/CSS/JS code simply by describing the "vibe" and functionality you want—no manual coding required.
• Beyond the Embed Block: A step-by-step guide to inserting these custom elements into Rise so they look and feel native to the course.
• Integrating AI APIs: How to connect your custom blocks to external AI models to create smart features (like instant feedback generators or chatbots) directly inside Rise.
• From Static to Dynamic: Real-world examples of "impossible" Rise interactions that we built using this exact method.
