We’d already been running our enterprise training business for nine years at this point and had a new goal to help people get ‘just in time’ learning on their business communication.
We did a University of Queensland accelerator, got a few grants, stayed up late on far too many nights, hooked into the Microsoft Innovation Centre and created a VSTO add-in for Microsoft Word and Outlook that would coach you on the fly. The world’s most awful and difficult tech. The pits. Sheer determination got us there.
Was this a good idea? Sure. Did people love it? Oh, yes. Could we get it deployed and updated in enterprise on repeat? No. Game over.
By September 2017 we had made this a cloud tool and used it as a diagnostic for our training. She was well built by a caring team and continues to work today. The AI landscape means this was no longer the best way for people to learn. This jumps us forward to 2025. Curious about Credosity? https://credosity.com/
