How it works

How Micromate works

You capture the content in Manage Micromate. Micromate turns it into questions during the workday and shows you how the learning progresses.

  1. Capture content

    In the editor you write the questions yourself or let the AI create a question set from your documents. You review the generated questions before they go out.

  2. Micromate asks during the workday

    A learning session consists of five questions on one topic and takes place right in the chat. Questions that were answered wrongly are asked again later.

  3. See the learning progress

    Per topic and learning group you see who learns regularly and which topics still have knowledge gaps.
