AI is often used in human resources for administrative tasks like serving up relevant training courses, or streamlining work processes for hiring. However online training itself has not substantially changed, leaving a largely untapped market opportunity.

Generative AI creates a new opportunity in employee skilling

Generative AI can be used to create radically new kinds of learning content, such as Alelo’s role-play simulations with artificially intelligent avatars. Such training is much more interactive, personalized and open-ended than conventional online training such as videos and multiple-choice exercises. Typical chatbot applications also fall short because they are not designed specifically for learning. They may answer questions, but they do not encourage trainees to practice and think on their own. To revolutionize training, AI solutions must be built on sound pedagogy with a focus on learning outcomes.

Our Vision: An authoring platform for GenAI avatar simulations

Currently, Alelo technology is offered through off-the-shelf training content or custom training solutions. The current investment round will enable us to create an authoring platform that lets organizations create their own GenAI avatar simulations to meet their own training needs. And your investment can help bring it to market. See a 2-minute clip of a trainee practicing soft skills with an avatar powered by generative AI:

A massive edge over traditional training

Role-play with avatars helps trainees to learn interpersonal and critical thinking skills for sales, customer service, patient-centered care, crisis management, DEI, and so much more. Instead of just learning product or technical skills, AI-powered avatar simulations let learners apply those skills and combine them with communication, empathy, listening, problem-solving, and decision making. These essential skills are needed for almost every role in an organization.

AI solutions developed specifically for learning

At Alelo, we’re both learning and technology experts with a footprint in 25 countries and 100 cultures. Our solutions start with learning science, and use AI to deliver more effective employee training. At the helm of our company, you’ll find learning engineers, learning practitioners, and AI experts with decades of experience and a proven track record in AI innovation for learning.

In the Future of Work Grand Challenge Alelo was selected from 1,200 companies in 26 countries to train employees in half the time of conventional training. You can read the case study in this peer-reviewed journal. Sound pedagogical approaches with the right AI tools have the potential to train employees up to 10X faster.

Trainees are assessed and taught at the same time in Alelo’s simulations. They role play with AI-driven avatars who find out what trainees know, and only teach what they don’t. Data is automatically collected. Administrators get individual and collective reports to manage the one or the many.

Science-backed pedagogy

Research from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve shows that an average learner forgets 70% of what they learned within 24 hours and 90% of what they learned in a week if they don’t make an effort to retain it. Alelo solutions use proven scientific strategies for retention.
