The three questions

Three questions your firm will be asked this year.

01

Your carrier

Cyber and E&O applications are starting to ask about AI training. A policy document isn't a training record.

02

Your examiner

Our reading of existing books-and-records and supervision rules: AI-generated notes, summaries, and client comms fall under them. Training shows the supervision was real.

03

Your own policy

If your firm wrote an AI policy in the last 18 months, did anyone attach training to it? Close that gap this week.

Why it works - backed by science

A short drill at the right moment beats the annual slide deck.

The annual deck gets clicked through and forgotten within weeks. Ten minutes inside a real incident builds the reflex instead. The learning science behind every choice →

01

Decision points, not slides

Learners make the call inside the incident.

02

Safe habits

Short drills repeat the safe move under time pressure.

03

Two scores

Skepticism and control, tracked per learner.

04

Evidence for the training file

Completion, scores, timestamps, and certificate IDs export per employee.

05

Fresh incidents

New modules monthly; the Brief covers one every Monday.

06

One sitting

One incident, one skill, one certificate in 10-25 minutes.

07

Role tracks

Marketing, finance, engineering, HR, and leadership.

Questions

What careful buyers ask

Is this SOC 2 certified?

Not yet. Data is hosted on Supabase. We store learner name, email, company code, scores, decision paths, and timestamps. We do not sell data or use learner responses to train third-party models. DPA available.

Are the cases real?

Yes. Sources are shown inside each module.

Does this satisfy our regulatory training requirement?

No vendor can satisfy it for you. The course produces completion records, scores, and verifiable certificates your firm can retain as training evidence.

Is this another video course with a quiz?

No. Test first, then teach. Learners make the call inside a real incident, get scored, then learn in the debrief.

What is AI training for employees?

Short training that teaches people what data never goes into AI, how to check AI output, and what to do when something looks wrong.

How is this different from KnowBe4 or other security awareness training?

Broad platforms cover general security awareness. AI Safety 101 goes deep on AI incidents with scored decision drills and evidence. Many firms run both. Competitor scope as of September 2026.

Do we need to be a financial firm to use it?

No. All 18 drills are free for anyone. Regulated firms get the most from the evidence layer.

How does it stay current?

New modules every month from documented incidents, plus the Monday Brief.

The next AI incident in your industry is already on someone's timeline.

Make sure your team trained on the last one - with training they'll actually finish.
