You.com and Inversity have announced an exclusive multi-year partnership to provide the first-ever personalized, role-specific AI training program with real-time feedback. This collaboration aims to address a significant gap in AI adoption by offering tailored training for millions of knowledge workers globally.
Recent research by Capgemini reveals that 65% of leaders view AI as a strategic “thought partner” in areas like planning and decision-making. Despite this, only 15% of leaders and 20% of employees use AI tools daily, indicating a slow adoption process. A major barrier to success is a lack of training—58% of leaders and managers cite insufficient formal AI training as a challenge. Additionally, only 16% of employees have received adequate support in developing AI skills.
Unlike traditional, generic training modules, You.com’s partnership with Inversity offers a more personalized approach, integrating AI training directly into daily tasks and tailoring it to each worker’s specific role. For instance, a Marketing Communications Manager might input priorities like newsletter writing or social media content, receiving personalized AI exercises with immediate feedback. This hands-on approach ensures that what employees learn can be instantly applied to their jobs.
Richard Socher, co-founder and CEO of You.com, commented on the shift in work dynamics: “The future of work is about all of us becoming managers of AI. Going from an individual contributor to a people manager requires learning to delegate clearly, build trust, and specify requirements. That’s the skill transition we all need. With You.com, you’ll upskill yourself and your entire team into AI managers.”
James Kuht, founder and CEO of Inversity, emphasized the partnership’s mission: “This collaboration represents an exciting step in realizing our vision—equipping millions of people with the skills to harness AI effectively. By combining You.com’s powerful AI offering with Inversity’s personalized training, we’ll help people work with AI in new ways and do their best work faster.”
