“Willow introduces the next generation of corporate eLearning by delivering individualized training at scale and in real-time”, says Sharon Sloane, CEO of WILL Interactive. “At the intersection of human intelligence and artificial intelligence, it respects learners, meets them where they are, drives lasting behavioral change, and helps build high-performance cultures.”

In a harassment prevention module, for example, Willow helps employees navigate a scenario where an executive crosses personal boundaries with a subordinate. Instead of simply watching a video and reading text, employees engage in a real-time conversation with Willow, answering questions and receiving personalized feedback that deepens their understanding of appropriate workplace behavior and relevant policies.
