Demo of Mindsmith’s End-to-End AI agent 

Presented by Ethan Webb, Cofounder, Mindsmith 

This demo will cover our end-to-end AI agent, our intuitive authoring tool, and our dynamic SCORM packages. Our end-to-end AI agent has raw intelligence. It has tools to accomplish any eLearning creation task like watching and snipping videos for clips, asking follow-up questions to collect more context and dig into needs analysis, simulation and scenario creation, and much more. Mindsmith is also a next-gen authoring tool. We include features like real-time collaboration, AI role-play/conversations, and a modern and intuitive design. We are the inventors of Dynamic SCORM, a SCORM file that we can communicate with. This allows you to automatically and dynamically publish updates, easily manage language versions, and track deep/granular engagement analytics that you don’t typically get with SCORM.

From Zero to Course Draft with Articulate 360: AI Built for Learning 

Presented by Melissa Trimble, Sr. Product Evangelist, Articulate 

What if you could go from a blank page to a structured course draft in minutes? In this live, 30-minute demo, Melissa Trimble, Sr. Product Evangelist with Articulate, will build a structured course draft using Articulate 360—starting from inputs like a rough idea, a dense SME document, or existing source material. You’ll see how the latest AI features built specifically for learning professionals help organize content, define learning objectives, generate knowledge checks, and shape instructional flow. This isn’t generic AI that summarizes and stops. It’s designed around how learning actually works. The result? Faster first drafts without sacrificing structure, instructional integrity, or learner engagement. Whether you’re facing tight timelines, content overload, or pressure to move faster with fewer resources, you’ll leave this session with practical strategies for using Articulate’s AI Assistant as a true design partner—one that’s there to accelerate development while keeping your expertise at the center.

Designing Learning at the Speed of Change: The EchoInk Authoring Workflow

Presented by Blake Hedlund, Global Director of Sales Enablement & Customer Onboarding, Echo360 & Josh Maccombs, Product Manager, Echo360

Learning content often becomes outdated before it is even published. EchoInk, powered by Echo360, introduces an AI-enabled authoring workflow that helps teams rapidly create, update, and publish learning while maintaining a single source of truth for critical business content such as SOPs and operating manuals. By turning existing documentation into trackable learning and enabling AI-powered answers through AskEcho, organizations can deliver accurate knowledge to employees directly in the flow of work.
