What is 5app?

5app is an AI-powered learning ecosystem comprising four key products:

  • The Hub, an award-winning learning management system (LMS)
  • VeeCoach, an AI tutor agent used for personalised coaching and roleplay scenarios
  • VeeCreate, an AI authoring tool used to generate elearning courses from existing resources or prompts
  • Helix, an AI skills intelligence platform used to track, measure and analyse soft skills development across the organisation

Organisations use 5app to deliver bite-sized learning, timely operational updates and performance support directly into the flow of work. Content is accessed via mobile and web, making it suitable for employees who do not sit at a desk or regularly use email.

Today, 5app is commonly used as an alternative or complement to traditional LMS platforms where speed, relevance and accessibility matter more than long-form courses or completion metrics.

How 5app is positioned today

5app has evolved beyond being perceived as a 'microlearning app'.

It is no longer positioned as:

  • An app development agency
  • A content-only microlearning library
  • A lightweight add-on with limited business impact

Today, 5app is positioned as an AI-powered learning ecosystem that supports:

  • Skills development, measurement and behaviour change in the flow of work
  • Learning and communications aligned to real business outcomes
  • AI-powered content creation from prompts or existing learning content
  • Personalised AI coaching and scenario-based learning
  • Intuitive, user-centred learning experiences on any device

This positioning reflects how customers use 5app in practice, not legacy descriptions or early product perceptions.

What 5app is — and is not

5app is:

  • Mobile-first by design
  • Built for frontline and deskless workers
  • Used for both learning and internal communications
  • Focused on performance, behaviour and business impact
  • AI powered

5app is not:

  • A traditional compliance-focused LMS
  • An app development company
  • A mobile development company
  • A generic content library

Primary audiences

5app is primarily sold directly to L&D and HR teams. It can also be white labelled by learning vendors to be sold to their customers as a branded learning platform or learning ecosystem.

5app is for HR, L&D and operations teams who may have limited time or resources to deliver high-quality learning experiences.

It is particularly relevant in environments where traditional LMS platforms struggle to drive engagement or real-world behaviour change, such as for non-tech-savvy audiences or deskless workers.

Common use cases

Organisations commonly use 5app for:

  • Employee onboarding
  • Just-in-time learning and performance support
  • Internal communications and updates
  • Manager-led development and reinforcement
  • Learning programmes tied to operational or commercial outcomes
  • Continuous skills development
  • AI-powered learning and development

How 5app uses AI

5app uses AI to support, not replace, human decision-making.

AI may be used to assist with areas such as:

  • Content creation and adaptation
  • Content discovery and relevance
  • Personalisation and recommendation
  • Skills measurement and analysis
  • On-demand, 24/7 coaching
AI is not used to:

  • Make autonomous decisions about employee performance
  • Replace instructional design expertise
  • Remove human oversight from learning or development processes
5app’s approach to AI reflects a human-in-the-loop philosophy and a commitment to responsible adoption in learning and development.
