5Mins.ai

I like that AI can automatically convert information that I've presented to it to curate long-form training materials in the form of presentations, videos and interactive sessions based on topics that I'm interested in. In an age of scroll, this product assists in me putting the phone down and learning something engaging and interesting that'll benefit my personal life and overall education.

1. Easy Onboarding: From an operational perspective, the setup and rollout was not challenging at all. Their support is responsive, and we didn't need a lengthy training onboarding process to get things running. Moreover, there was no need to be tech-savvy to know the ins and outs of the process. 2. Mobile-First Design: 5Mins.ai was built with mobile users in mind which makes it easier for users to use in any situation. Learners can access modules during their breaks or even on the run with an intuitive mobile-responsive design and a dedicated app on all platforms making access easier. This provides an increased flexibility when learning and a high adoption rate amongst users due to reduced technological friction in the learning process. 3. AI-Powered Content & Delivery: This feature is exceptional for us since the platform has the ability to take extensive training material and create bite-sized, engaging content in the form of flashcards, short quizzes, videos, etc. saving us a lot of operational time. Moreover, there has been no lapse in content despite the shortened lesson plans which is a plus since we did not want any details to be missed but rather concised. In addition to that, the delivery of the content is very engaging and adheres to all generations of our workforce. This feature has proven itself with over 90% completion rates amongst the users making the training and integration successful across our organization. 4. Integration with Slack & Teams: Our organization relies heavily on Slack & Teams for internal communication and 5Mins.ai's integration system has been seamless. This ensures that the training happens where the employees are and also eliminates the need to constantly be reminded through their mobile.

1. Highly relevant and always up-to-date content: Learning pills are quick (3-5 minutes) and focused on practical skills such as leadership, softskill, and technology. 2. Intelligent gamification: Points and rewards keep employees motivated. 3. Integration with popular platforms: Direct support for Microsoft Teams and Slack makes continuous learning a natural part of the work routine.

There are times where I'm presented with topics that I'm not necessarily interested in and it can create some bloat. While this isn't a major negative, I understand that the learning language machine is simply doing its job to present things of interest to me as the end user. Thankfully, I am presented with the option to ignore the recommendation and train the LLM on the things that I'm interested in and the content pushed back to me.

1. Lack of depth & customization in assessments: While the platform works mostly in the form of short quizzes and videos, scenario based learning with open-ended answers seems to be limited. This constricts the learning process when it comes to professional development on a deeper scale. We often also require fine-grained control over the training material and that has proven to be challenging to implement. 2. App stability: The app may have closed the gap in learning access but we have experienced minor glitches and loading lags which can hurt engagement amongst users. 3. Scalability: As we increase the number of learning pathways and branches between roles, it has become challenging to adopt everything. It's amazing for short lessons but adding more complex modules has proven to be difficult since our organization requires proper organization of repository.

1. Initial learning curve: Administrators need some time to set up custom learning paths. 2. Limited reporting: Performance metrics could offer more detailed analyisis of engagement and impact. 3. Language dependency: While English and Spanish are supported, content in Portuguese (especially Angolan and Brazilian Portuguese) is still quite limited.
