Arist is a microlearning platform that delivers bite-sized training and communications directly through messaging apps like Slack and MS Teams to increase learner engagement and knowledge retention in the flow of work.

Try it out

Arist enables organizations to deliver learning and communications directly within the messaging tools employees use daily, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. It's designed for L&D, HR, and internal comms leaders who struggle with low engagement from traditional learning management systems. By breaking down content into bite-sized, conversational courses, Arist meets learners where they are, eliminating the friction of logging into a separate platform. This 'in the flow of work' methodology is its key differentiator, driving significantly higher completion and retention rates for critical training. Consequently, companies can more effectively implement behavior change, reinforce knowledge, and foster a connected culture across distributed teams.

Pros

  • Significantly higher engagement and completion rates (often cited above 90%) compared to traditional LMS platforms.
  • Delivers training 'in the flow of work' via Slack, MS Teams, SMS, and WhatsApp, eliminating context switching.
  • Simple and fast course creation process allows subject matter experts to build text-based courses in minutes.
  • Provides robust analytics on engagement, completion, and knowledge retention for each learner and course.
  • Automates course delivery, reminders, and follow-ups, reducing administrative overhead for L&D teams.

Cons

  • Primarily text-based format may not be suitable for complex, hands-on, or visually-driven training topics.
  • Reliance on messaging apps means it can be perceived as just another source of notifications if not implemented thoughtfully.
  • Pricing is not transparent and is geared towards enterprise budgets, making it inaccessible for small businesses.
  • Acts as a content delivery layer and may still require a separate LMS for complex learning journeys.
