Further, to support its growing product lines and strengthen development, Marvin sought a solution that would enhance learning, engagement, and performance while aligning with its values.

Solution: Zensai’s Learn365 transforms skill creation and course design
Initially, Marvin discovered Zensai’s AI-powered LMS for manufacturing while searching for a comprehensive platform to centralize training materials, automate data tracking, and eliminate manual processes. Thus, the company quickly adopted Zensai’s Learn365 to streamline onboarding, training, and compliance for its global workforce. Moreover, the platform offered career growth opportunities to keep employees engaged..
Additionally, Marvin found the integration of Learn365 with Microsoft Teams Copilot invaluable. This integration enables employees to access training materials on mobile devices, ensuring flexibility and accessibility across locations. Additionally, the API’s ability to track employee badge scans added another layer of precision and efficiency.
Recognizing the potential of AI course creation tools, Marvin decided to use more of Zensai’s capabilities to enhance employee development further.
Streamlining skills and courses with AI
Tai Davidson, Enterprise Manager of Learning Development at Marvin, highlights the impressive impact of Zensai’s AI features. For example, the AI-powered Skill Generation tool automates the creation of role-based skill taxonomies, ensuring alignment with organizational needs. Davidson shares:
My favorite AI feature right now is skill generation. It gives us a very good starting place as it’s helping us to automate our job or role-based skill creation. It can help automatically create skill naming conventions for our skills along with the categories in those skills – really just the whole skill taxonomy.
Furthermore, creating content and courses with Microsoft Teams Copilot has revolutionized workflows. That means employees can engage in intuitive, conversational searches for courses, track their progress, and optimize their learning experience.
Also, Zensai’s AI-powered course creation tools allow administrators to generate courses, quizzes, and assessments easily by uploading a file or providing a simple topic input. This saves HR and L&D teams significant time, allowing them to focus on strategic learning design. According to Davidson:
[AI in Learn365] makes our workflows easier, faster, and more efficient. For example, I’m able to take a policy or standard operating procedure and ask Copilot to make a course related to this documentation. I can also generate quizzes based on text or video. Ultimately, it allows me to focus on deeper creation or more creative thinking with my content generation because I save so much time on the administrative work.
As part of Zensai’s AI Early Adopter Program, Marvin works with other customers to beta-test new AI features, adding valuable feedback that enhances the platform’s capabilities.
