See HowNow in action.

A traditional LMS focuses on course completion; HowNow focuses on building business capability. While LMSs rely on static content and rules, HowNow uses AI to deliver personalised, skills-based learning tailored to each person's role. It automatically maps skills, delivers learning in Slack, Teams and your browser, includes content from 100+ providers, and features an AI coach and AI Analyst for instant insights. An LMS tells you who finished a course. HowNow tells you whether your organisation has the skills to execute its strategy. Learn more about why we think the ‘LMS is dead’.

HowNow connects directly to your ecosystem. We have native integrations with SharePoint, OneDrive, Confluence, Google Drive, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and major HRIS platforms. We also connect to third-party content libraries like Udemy for Business, LinkedIn Learning, and over 50 specialist content providers in HowNow+.

Absolutely not. HowNow is designed to ingest and organise the content you already have. We connect to your existing repositories and use AI to tag, structure, and surface that content based on skills and context. You keep your investments; we just make them actually usable.

First, we integrate with your HRIS to understand job roles. We enrich this with real labor market data to break down each role into tasks and required skills. Then, we measure proficiency against those skills using our 360-review tool and, optionally, by analysing work signals from performance data. The gap between "required" and "current" is your skill gap.

Yes. Managers have a dedicated dashboard showing their team's learning activity, skill distribution, compliance status, and identified gaps. They can drill down into individual team members to provide targeted support and coaching.

No. HowNow is built for organisations of all sizes, from 100-person startups to 10,000-person enterprises. In 2024, the UK Government chose HowNow from 68 suppliers to become the single learning platform for all government employees. We also serve companies like Depop, Trainline, Investec, and FitFlop. Whether you have 50 employees or 50,000, HowNow scales with you. Learn more about HowNow customers.
