For Instructional Designers

You trained in learning design. Not in video production.

AmpUp does the production work you never signed up for, drafting, narration, video, assessment, and applies a real instructional design model while it does it. You keep the pedagogy, the accuracy bar, and the sign-off.

AI for Instructional Designers: What to Delegate, Direct, and Own. Five minutes, built by the thing it is describing, and it tells you which design model it applied to itself while you are in it.

The Job Nobody Signed Up For

You trained in learning design. Your calendar says otherwise.

The SME Data Dump

A subject matter expert hands you 100 slides for a 20-minute module, expects it "prettified," then goes quiet until the deadline.

The Production Treadmill

New products ship faster than you can build training for them. One team, hundreds of learners, months per course.

Completion Isn't Competence

Your LMS reports who clicked through. Leadership asks whether anyone can actually do the job. You can't draw that line today.

Better: The Work You Do Today, Without the Grind

Same standards, same sign-off, a fraction of the production time.

Draft Courses From What You Already Have

Feed in decks, manuals, PDFs, videos or recorded sessions, then connect the systems the work runs through: the CRM, the notetaker, the calendar, a thousand more. Instead of chasing an SME for source material and converting it to files, the material arrives and they react to a draft.

Narration and Video Without a Studio

AI instructors deliver your lessons on camera, in a cloned voice if you want your own experts presenting. No editing suite, no reshoots when content changes.

SCORM In, SCORM or LTI Out

Import existing SCORM and H5P content. Deliver back into the LMS you already run either as a SCORM package or over LTI, so the course launches from your system with rostering and grades returning to it. AmpUp is additive, not rip-and-replace.

Days, Not Quarters

Iterate on a module the way you'd edit a doc. When the product changes, regenerate the lesson instead of rebuilding it.

New: What No Authoring Tool Can Build

Not a better version of the old thing. A different thing.

Assessment You Could Not Build Before

Lessons end in live AI roleplay, not a multiple-choice quiz. Learners explain, troubleshoot, and handle pushback out loud before they do it for real, and every one of them gets the same evaluation.

Assessment Personas

An oral-board examiner, a frustrated customer, a troubleshooting coach. Consistent, repeatable evaluation for every learner, built from your curriculum. It keeps working after export, so the scored conversation runs inside the LMS you already administer rather than only inside ours.

Institutional Knowledge, Captured

The shortcuts and judgment your best instructors share in the room become an always-available coach that keeps teaching after the class ends.

Behavioral Analytics

Your LMS stores one fact per block: completed or not. AmpUp records every interaction as an event, so you get the drop-off point, each individual answer, and a score per rubric criterion per attempt. That is the evidence leadership asks for when they want to know whether behavior changed.

Who is already running this

Four programs, kept anonymous. What they have in common is not the industry. It is that competence had to be demonstrated rather than recalled, and the people qualified to assess it were the scarcest resource in the building.

Electric vehicle manufacturer

Product training that changes faster than it can be written

The constraint
Software-defined vehicles ship new capability on an over-the-air cadence, so any course built the traditional way is describing last quarter's car. Retraining sales and service staff across the network meant rebuilding decks nobody could keep current.
What runs on AmpUp
Courses are generated from release material and real recorded customer conversations, then regenerated against the source when the product moves. Reps rehearse the new objection out loud before they meet a buyer holding it.

In the pilot, bottom-quartile performers reached top-quartile performance inside thirty days.

National home remodeling franchisor

Training as something you sell, not something you absorb

The constraint
A franchisor is judged on how consistently a hundred owner-operators execute, and each one runs their own hiring and onboarding. Head office could publish a manual. It could not put a trainer in every territory.
What runs on AmpUp
The franchisor builds its playbook once as a course with scored roleplay checkpoints, then distributes it through the network. Franchisees buy the training as part of what the brand provides, and head office can see which locations actually completed and passed.

The training organization stopped being a cost center and became part of the franchise offer.

Avionics manufacturer

Certification content for a regulated, technical audience

The constraint
Certification material for avionics is dense, version-controlled and unforgiving. Building it means senior engineers writing course content instead of engineering, and any hardware or firmware revision invalidates part of the library.
What runs on AmpUp
Courses are generated from the technical documentation that already exists, with the source library staying attached so a revision regenerates the affected lessons rather than triggering a rebuild. Assessment is a spoken walkthrough scored against the same rubric for every candidate.

Subject matter experts review a draft instead of authoring from a blank page.

Aviation industry association

Certifying technicians across member organizations

The constraint
An association credentialing technicians across hundreds of independent member shops has the hardest version of this problem: no shared LMS, no shared calendar, and an assessment that has always required a qualified examiner in the room.
What runs on AmpUp
The examiner becomes a persona built from the association's own standards, so a candidate anywhere can be assessed the same way, on demand, with a transcript and a score per competency behind the credential.

Assessment capacity stopped being limited by how many senior examiners could travel.

It Knows the Models You Were Trained On

The fear with AI course tools is that they produce a summary with a quiz on the end and call it a course. AmpUp starts from the performance goal, infers the design model that fits, and shows you which one it used, so you can argue with it.

ADDIE

The spine for a full program. AmpUp runs the analysis against your source corpus and your performance data, proposes objectives and a module map for you to approve before anything is built, and wires evaluation in at design time instead of bolting a survey on at the end.

Bloom's Taxonomy

Every objective is tagged with a cognitive level and the assessment is generated to match it. An objective that says "evaluate" does not get a recall quiz, it gets a live conversation. This is the check most AI course tools skip, and the one your reviewers will notice.

Gagné's Nine Events

Lesson-level sequencing: gain attention, state the objective, recall prior learning, present, guide, elicit performance, give feedback, assess, support transfer. It is why an AmpUp lesson opens and closes the way it does rather than starting cold on slide one.

Merrill's First Principles

Courses are organized around a real task rather than a topic list: activate prior knowledge, demonstrate, have the learner do it, then integrate it back into the job. The roleplay checkpoint is the demonstration and application step, not a bonus feature.

Kirkpatrick's Four Levels

Most tools leave you defending level one. AmpUp instruments all four: reaction from engagement data, learning from assessment and rubric scores, behavior from what changes on real recorded conversations afterward, and results from the outcomes those conversations drive.

SAM

If your team iterates rather than waterfalls, you get a reviewable prototype early, give plain-English feedback, and see the regenerated version in the same sitting instead of the next sprint.

You can override any of it. Pin the model your team standardizes on, rewrite an objective, move it up or down Bloom's levels, and the assessment regenerates to match. AmpUp defaults to good practice so you are editing a defensible draft instead of starting from a blank page, and every choice it made is visible rather than buried in a prompt.

How the AI LMS applies each model

Where the Six Months Go, and What You Get Back

The same product course, drawn twice on one calendar. Both lanes run against the same 26 week scale, so the saving is the space where the bottom lane has already finished. Select a stage to see what happens inside it.

Two lanes, one scale

The stone lane is production work. The yellow lane is the same course with the production handed off, leaving the judgment calls with you.

Production work you do todayThrough AmpUpCalendar returned to you

About the figures. The six month total and shipping within days are AmpUp's before and after for a new product course. The stage splits inside each lane are illustrative for a single course with a typical SME review cycle, not measured averages. Your own numbers depend on how much source material exists and how many review rounds your standards call for.

What the First Program Actually Looks Like

Nobody buys a training platform. They approve one pilot and see what happens. Five steps, and the only one that needs your calendar is the third.

  1. 1

    Pick one program, not a platform rollout

    One high-priority course with a real deadline behind it. A product launch, a certification cycle, an onboarding cohort. The pilot has to be something whose success or failure you would have noticed anyway.

  2. 2

    Hand over what already exists

    The decks, the manual, the recorded session someone ran last year. No new authoring, and no SME homework before the first draft: the point is that they react to something rather than start from a blank page.

  3. 3

    Review it as an editor

    A draft comes back in days. You mark it up in plain English, the affected lesson regenerates, and nothing reaches a learner without your sign-off. This is the step that decides whether the program is any good, and it stays yours.

  4. 4

    Ship it where learners already are

    Assign inside AmpUp, export SCORM, or connect over LTI so it launches from the LMS you already administer. No migration, no second portal for learners to forget the password to.

  5. 5

    Come back with evidence, not a completion report

    Rubric scores per competency, the drop-off point in each lesson, and transcripts of what learners actually said. That is what turns the second program into an easier conversation than the first.

You Do Not Have to Give Anything Up

The objection that stops most pilots is the one about migration. There isn't one. Your Storyline and Rise work comes with you, your LMS stays the system of record, and learners sign in where they already do.

What you already have

Your rubrics, your sign off

Your system, unchanged

SCORM export
LTI launch, rostering and grades return
Or assign directly inside AmpUp
No migration, no second login for learners

And you stop defending completion rates. The evidence that comes back is a score per rubric criterion per attempt, the drop-off point in each lesson, and a transcript of what each learner actually said. That is what turns the second program into an easier conversation than the first.

Prepare: Own the AI Shift in Your Org

The role is moving from order taker to performance consultant. AmpUp is how you make that move on your terms.

  • AI is coming to your training org either way. The designer who pilots it becomes the internal expert, not the person it routed around.
  • Executives are done paying for completion rates. Scored practice and custom rubrics give you the behavioral evidence that protects the training budget.
  • Every AmpUp program is a portfolio-grade case study: business problem, root cause, solution, measured result.
