While we build what’s next, here are the questions teams ask most when they’re getting started with Aura.

What is Aura?

Aura is a team of AI‑powered agents, your built‑in assistants and coaches that are embedded inside Absorb’s AI‑powered learning platform (AI LMS). Each agent is purpose‑designed to streamline learning and administration by answering questions, surfacing relevant and personalized content, and guiding users through tasks inside the platform. By reducing friction, automating routine work, and supporting learners, managers, and admins in real time, Aura makes learning experiences more effective, more efficient, and more impactful, right inside systems your team already uses.

Is Aura built into Absorb LMS?

Yes. Aura is natively integrated into Absorb LMS, adding to the AI-powered LMS experience without extra tools or interfaces. (It’s also accessible in Teams.) This lets Aura understand platform workflows, content access rules, and user roles with precision. As a result, it can provide answers and guidance that make sense in real time. The experience feels seamless and enables learners and admins to work more confidently and efficiently inside their LMS.

Is Aura an extra feature I buy?

Aura is available for all Absorb LMS customers. Complementary credits allow teams to immediately experience the Aura's capabilities. As needs grow, additional credits can be purchased to expand usage.

What makes Aura different from a generic AI assistant?

Generic AI assistants give broad answers. Aura gives accurate, contextual guidance. Designed specifically to work inside Absorb’s AI‑powered learning platform (AI LMS), it understands roles, permissions, content structure, and the workflows learners, managers, and admins use day-to-day. That context lets Aura deliver precise, relevant responses instead of generic output. Aura filters inaccessible content, routes questions to the right agent, and uses verified platform data to support real actions, not guesses.

How do AI agents improve learning?

AI agents reduce obstacles and help learners stay focused. Aura centralizes answers, content, and guidance, turning your LMS into an AI-enhanced learning platform that supports more continuous learning. Aura cuts the noise and friction from learning to help boost engagement, strengthen retention, and accelerate real capability growth.

How does Aura help with upskilling?

Aura keeps upskilling in motion by making every step feel effortless. It guides learners to the right content the moment they need it, answers questions instantly, and remembers context so they can return to training without retracing their steps. Progress feels continuous, not complicated. And while deeper skills features are part of future plans, Aura already helps teams understand how their learning is taking shape.

How does Aura help with onboarding?

Aura acts as an onboarding buddy. It's the first stop for any questions your new hires have. Your new hires get instant answers and personalized course recommendations. Since it is part of Absorb LMS, Aura provides information tied to each person's role and access level. This reduces confusion, builds confidence, and accelerates ramp-up. It also decreases the workload on administrators and managers who would otherwise need to answer the same questions repeatedly. Admins no longer have to hunt for information either because everything they need is surfaced in one place, and they can easily track learner engagement to see how new hires are progressing every step of the way.
