5app opens up AI-powered Training Quality Assurance with Helix trial
5app has launched a self-service trial of Helix, its AI-powered skills intelligence platform. The trial lets organisations and training providers explore how analysing real training conversations can reveal strengths, identify development opportunities, and improve training quality. Users can get started instantly with preloaded sample data, with no time limit and no need to upload their own information.
London, UK – NOV 9, 2026 – Learning technology provider 5app has launched a new free trial of Helix, its AI-powered skills intelligence platform, giving organisations and training providers a new way to understand and improve training quality.
Helix uses AI to analyse conversations from real workplace interactions, including training sessions, meetings and coaching conversations. It identifies the skills and behaviours demonstrated during those conversations, highlighting individual strengths and areas for development. This gives organisations greater visibility into how skills are being applied in practice, rather than relying solely on assessments or feedback.
One of the key applications for Helix is Training Quality Assurance (QA), helping organisations and training providers better understand what happens during training delivery.
Traditionally, training QA has relied on trainer observations, learner feedback and post-session evaluations. While these approaches provide valuable insights, they can be time-consuming and offer limited visibility into the skills and behaviours demonstrated during a session.
By analysing real training conversations, Helix provides additional evidence to help training teams understand delivery quality, identify opportunities for trainer development and support more consistent training experiences.
The new Helix trial makes these capabilities accessible to anyone interested in exploring the technology. Users can sign up and access the platform instantly, with preloaded sample data allowing them to explore Helix without uploading any of their own information.
There is no time limit on the trial. Users can also upload transcripts of their own training conversations or invite Helix to meetings to see how the platform works with their own data.
Philip Huthwaite, CEO of 5app, said:
"One of the things that's really stood out in our conversations with customers and training providers is the potential for AI to change how we approach training quality assurance.
There's a real desire to understand not just whether people enjoyed a training session, but what actually happened during it, where trainers are demonstrating strong skills and where they could benefit from additional support.
That's what makes Helix so exciting. We're giving organisations a way to see those skills and behaviours through real conversations, and with our new free trial, they can experience that potential for themselves straight away."
For training and coaching providers, Helix offers a way to support trainer and coach development, review delivery consistency and build a clearer picture of training quality across teams. Internal L&D departments can use the same insights to inform coaching, identify development needs and strengthen existing quality assurance processes.
The Helix trial is available now at 5app.com/try-helix.
