Totara’s AI approach – a structured, practical AI framework that guides meaningful implementation across the platform, balancing cutting-edge innovation with measurable real-world benefits. This framework covers six critical stages—Generate, Assist, Transform, Recommend, Optimise, and Guide—each designed to maximise efficiency, drive user engagement, enhance content quality, and deliver improved learning outcomes.

User Benefits

Machine Learning Recommendations Engine

Totara’s AI-driven recommendations keep learning relevant, timely, and engaging by fitting seamlessly into daily workflows. By analysing each learner’s behaviour, preferences, and activities, it suggests tailored courses, collaborative spaces, trending resources, and bite-sized content. This personalisation boosts motivation, drives higher completion rates, and ensures learning aligns with both personal growth and organisational goals.

AI SMART Goal Assistant

By answering just a few open questions the AI assistant crafts clear structured SMART goals, great for boosting goal setting confidence and consistency. Helping learners set structured, achievable goals using the SMART framework.

Admin Benefits

Search, Discovery and Creation

AI powered course Tagging
Not associating content correctly via Totara’s Tag system inevitably results in poorly organised libraries that are not displayed effectively. Totara’s new AI-driven feature significantly reduces administrative effort by intelligently suggesting relevant tags based on course titles and descriptions. Streamlining this important task whilst ensuring that materials remain current and accessible.

Writing Assistance
The AI-powered Writing Assistant streamlines content creation by generating accurate first drafts and concise summaries, ensuring a consistent style, tone and elevating quality. This allows creators to deliver clear, engaging learning materials faster, giving learners timely access to high-quality resources that boost engagement and support better outcomes.

AI image generation
This allows course creators to produce custom visuals from simple text prompts, removing the need for design skills or costly stock images. By delivering tailored, consistent visuals instantly, it speeds up content production and enriches courses with engaging, relevant imagery whilst boosting learner attention, retention, and comprehension.

AI-powered summarisation
This feature distils lengthy documents to extract the main ideas and key points, helping learners grasp complex information quickly and accurately. Ideal for compliance, onboarding, and professional development, it makes critical content easier to understand, remember, and apply.

AI Knowledge Check-In
Quickly generate informal quizzes from uploaded resources to help learners consolidate knowledge in a pressure-free environment. Just select the number of questions and type required and the number of attempts permitted. Aggregated quiz results then help to spot learning gaps and trends.
