How did AI help build the training curriculum, platform and content?

Short answer: Sam Nadler says AI was used in three pillars: the curriculum, the platform and the content with Veo 3.1, with 60 to 70% of content right the first time. Jordan Metzner calls it build versus buy where building was cheap.

Sam Nadler [8:10]: Yeah. I mean, I think just from my participation in this project, one, it's something that, like, we have to do as we grow. Our organization has to do it. So we either had two choices, buy it or build it. And the build, I think we used AI in three kind of major pillars. One is just to organize what are the tests, what are the questions for each test, how do we kind of satisfy the training, and AI helped us build out the curriculum, essentially. Obviously, AI helped us build out the platform, and then we used Veo 3.1 to build up the content. And, yes, it did require a few passes to get the content right. I would say 60 to 70% of the content was right off the bat. I love when we build something that anyone who listens to this podcast could take the idea and be like, oh, I could do that for my organization. And, training for phishing emails may not be appropriate, but it could be training for x y z use case in someone else's organization or orientation. This could be a great way. Maybe you could build an orientation platform or that people get a certificate when they complete and has little videos about what life is like at that organization or company. So, this is just how we've applied this kind of curriculum certification building within our own organization, but, hopefully, people can take the idea and run with it.

Jordan Metzner [9:43]: Yeah. And, I think I wanted to just prove this point here. If you search sexual harassment training software, I mean, you're gonna see a ton of sponsored ads. You're just gonna see pages and pages of software solutions. Here's three sponsored ads on the bottom. If we go to page two of Google, I mean, we're gonna continue to see offerings of software solutions. So, I mean, there is no shortage of sexual harassment training software solutions. I think what makes, our tool so interesting is that we built it ourselves, and now we don't have to pay any long term subscription costs. And I think, this is part of this new world of AI kind of build versus buy where this case, the cost to build was pretty low and the cost to buy is high, and we're gonna be able to retain control of the software and the product over the long term and continue to make it better for our particular use case. And I don't know.

Jordan Metzner [10:33]: I hope you liked it. And I think you're right, Sam. I think many entrepreneurs could look at this and say, yeah. Something we could build for our organization as well.
