Build Rise workflows with AI Agents

Training platforms like Rise power team growth, but unlocking full value requires more than just great content. By bringing Rise into your daily team communication through a smart AI agent powered by Runbear, you transform static training into dynamic, real-time collaboration, automation, and knowledge sharing. Discover how AI agents take your Rise experience beyond the LMS—making learning resources, progress updates, and team collaboration effortless inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord.

About Rise

Rise (by Articulate) is an intuitive, cloud-based platform purpose-built for creating, delivering, and tracking engaging online training courses. With its drag-and-drop lesson builder, customizable multimedia templates, and responsive design, Rise empowers teams and instructional designers to ship professional training quickly. Teams in HR, L&D, compliance, and onboarding use Rise to centralize training resources and measure employee progress. Its seamless deployment and ease of use have positioned Rise as a leading choice for both growing startups and enterprise organizations seeking scalable learning solutions. Some organizations may also use Rise Up or RISE Digital Toolkit for tailored training or business growth—each aiming to improve skill development, course delivery, and analytics for distributed teams.

Use Cases in Practice

Integrating Runbear’s AI agent with Rise revolutionizes team learning and collaboration. Imagine asking, “What’s our latest compliance module?” in Slack and getting an instant response, or receiving scheduled snapshots of your team’s Rise course progress without chasing down reports. The AI agent becomes a project manager, knowledge expert, and creative partner—automating repetitive admin, surfacing training insights, and supporting real-time teamwork. Let’s dive into four high-impact workflows:

1. Instant Course FAQs in Slack: When a team member asks about a Rise course—“How do I reset my password in our onboarding module?”—the AI agent instantly responds by pulling the right answer from synced Rise content, removing bottlenecks and reducing reliance on trainers.

2. Scheduled Training Progress Reports: Managers no longer waste time emailing for updates. The AI agent summarizes course enrollment or quiz scores from Rise and posts concise progress dashboards to your team channel each week. This is similar to smart reporting flows in our Automate KPI Reporting guide, but focused on learning outcomes.

3. AI-Driven Course Search Assistant: Instead of manual browsing, teams simply ask, “Which modules cover GDPR?” and the agent locates relevant lessons, links, or policy content using natural language. This supports internal knowledge search like described in our AI-Powered Executive Dashboard, making employee knowledge instantly accessible.

4. Collaborative Course Creation Support: Drafting new e-learning content becomes a team sport. Team members propose lesson outlines or edit scripts in Slack, while the AI agent suggests improvements, provides formatting tips, or summarizes key points on the fly—boosting both speed and creativity in curriculum development.

Rise vs Rise + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Rise with Runbear transforms static e-learning into dynamic, AI-powered collaboration. Standalone Rise offers great course design, but can feel siloed when teams want answers fast or automate reminders. With Runbear, your team uses natural language to access training resources, analyze engagement, and collaborate on content—all inside Slack or Teams—unlocking true workflow automation and team productivity.

Implementation Considerations

Integrating Rise into daily team workflows requires careful planning. Teams should prepare to configure secure API access, sync selected Rise content, and train users to seamlessly interact with the AI agent in Slack, Teams, or Discord. It’s important to address change management—moving away from email-based training reminders and toward real-time collaboration can require updated workflows and team buy-in. Consider the initial time needed to map out which courses and lessons should be indexed by the AI agent, as well as data governance best practices to protect sensitive learning information. Teams should also budget time for ongoing training so that members know how to get the most out of natural language queries and workflow automation. With proper setup and support, these challenges are minimal—and quickly outweighed by the productivity benefits.
