Frequently Asked Questions

General questions

What is Raison?

Raison is an AI training and learning platform built to bring AI mastery to everyone in an organisation, not just the early adopters who figured it out on their own. We work with two kinds of organisations in two dedicated ways: companies training their employees to use AI well, and universities and schools giving their learners an AI teaching assistant built into the tools they already use.

Who is Raison built for?

On the corporate side, we work with HR and L&D leaders, consulting firms, scale-ups, and enterprises who need their whole team fluent in AI, not just a few champions. On the education side, we work with deans, professors, and instructional design teams at universities and business schools who want AI support for their learners without losing control of how it teaches.

Is Raison a replacement for my LMS or existing tools?

No. Raison is built to complement what you already have, not replace it. On the corporate side, we sync training data back into your existing LMS through API and SCORM integrations. On the education side, we embed directly inside Moodle, Canvas, or Microsoft Teams, so your LMS stays the system of record and Raison becomes the AI layer inside it.

How is Raison different from a general AI chatbot like ChatGPT?

A general chatbot answers whatever you ask it. Raison is built around structured learning: it delivers training content, checks understanding, adapts to the learner's role or course, and tracks real progress over time. It's grounded in your organisation's own content and use cases, not generic answers pulled from the open internet.

Raison for corporate teams

Raison's corporate product is a people-centric AI mastery platform for HR, L&D, and business leaders who need their team fluent in AI, working end to end in the tools they already use.

How does Socrates work inside Microsoft Teams and Slack?

Socrates is the AI coach that delivers Raison's micro-trainings and knowledge checks directly inside Microsoft Teams or Slack. Employees learn where they already work, in short sessions, without switching tools or blocking out time for a separate course.

What is the AI Forum?

The AI Forum is a shared space inside Raison where your best prompts and AI use cases get collected and shared across the whole company. Instead of good practice staying with the one employee who figured it out, it becomes something the whole team can learn from and reuse.

What do Guidelines & Governance actually control?

Guidelines & Governance is the layer that lets you scale AI use cases safely once they're proven to work. It gives L&D and IT teams a way to set standards for how AI should and shouldn't be used, so adoption grows in a consistent, controlled way instead of turning into shadow AI usage across different teams.

Can training be personalized by role or department?

Yes. Socrates adapts training content to each employee's job role. A salesperson and a legal professional working through Raison will see different use cases and different questions, built around what's actually relevant to their work.

Does Raison duplicate an LMS we already use, like Talentsoft, Cornerstone, or 360Learning?

No, it complements it. Raison delivers training inside Teams or Slack and then syncs completion and progress data back into your existing LMS through API and SCORM, so your reporting stays in one place.

How long does it take to set up Socrates in Microsoft Teams?

Setup typically takes under 10 minutes. Raison is a native Microsoft ecosystem app, so your IT team can approve it directly from the Teams admin center without any heavy installation on employee devices.

Can we measure real AI mastery, not just AI usage?

Yes, and it's the core of what Raison is built for. Most tools can only tell you who logged in or opened a tool. Raison gives you a mastery index per employee and per team, so you can see who has actually built AI skill, not just who has access to a license.

Is Raison eligible for OPCO or CPF funding in France?

Yes. Raison integrates with France's skills development framework and is eligible for OPCO funding, with CPF available under certain conditions through our partnerships. Our team can help prepare a funding application quickly if your organisation needs support with the process.

Raison for higher education

Raison's education product brings AI teaching assistants into universities and business schools, built to support learners around the clock while keeping educators firmly in control.

What does Raison's AI teaching assistant actually do?

It gives students personalized, 24/7 support grounded in your own course materials, syllabus, readings, and slides. Rather than giving generic answers, it's built to guide learners through your specific curriculum, the way a good teaching assistant would.

How does Raison integrate with Moodle, Canvas, or Microsoft Teams?

Raison connects through plugins, LTI, or API integrations depending on your LMS, and syncs progress data back through SCORM where needed. It's designed to sit inside the tools your students and faculty already use, rather than asking anyone to adopt a new platform.

What is Trainer in the Loop, and why does it matter?

Trainer in the Loop, or TIIL, is our approach to keeping educators in control of how the AI teaches. Faculty decide what content the assistant draws from, how it behaves, and what it can and can't do. The intellectual property and pedagogical judgment stay with the educator, not the model.

Can the AI tutor be customized to our own course content and syllabus?

Yes. Assistants are grounded in the materials you upload, including PDFs, slides, readings, and handwriting. This keeps answers specific to your course rather than pulling from unrelated sources.

Does AI tutoring increase the risk of cheating or plagiarism?

This is a fair concern, and it's exactly why Trainer in the Loop exists. Raison's assistants are built for Socratic guidance rather than handing over direct answers, and educators stay in control of what the assistant can and can't reveal. The goal is to build understanding, not shortcuts.

What is an examination agent, and does it grade without human oversight?

An examination agent helps generate and support AI-first exams and grading workflows. It doesn't replace educator oversight. Grading assistance is designed to support faculty, with Trainer in the Loop keeping a human in control of the final decision.

Can we see learning analytics on student engagement and progress?

Yes. Raison provides granular analytics on engagement, progress, and feedback at the learner level, with export options to your existing BI tools so this data fits into how your institution already reports on outcomes.

Is Raison suitable for large lecture courses, not just small seminars?

Yes. The platform is built to scale from a single course pilot to institution-wide rollout, so it works whether you're supporting a small seminar or a large lecture course with hundreds of students.

Security, privacy, and data

Yes, fully. Raison is built and operated to GDPR standards, with data handling practices designed around European data protection requirements from the ground up.

Where is our data hosted?

Data is hosted on Azure in France. This keeps data processing within a jurisdiction that aligns with GDPR requirements for organisations based in Europe.

Is our data ever used to train public AI models?

No. Prompt data and learner interactions stay isolated within your organisation's environment. Nothing shared with Raison is used to train public AI models.

Who owns the intellectual property created with Raison?

You do. On the education side, Trainer in the Loop is specifically built to keep course content, teaching materials, and pedagogical decisions under the educator's and institution's control.

Getting started

How do I get started with Raison?

The best next step is to book a demo. We'll walk through your specific use case, whether that's corporate AI training or an AI teaching assistant for your institution, and figure out what a good rollout looks like for your team.

What happens after I request a demo?

Someone from our team will reach out to schedule a walkthrough tailored to your organisation type and goals. From there, we can talk through integration options, rollout timelines, and any funding questions if you're based in France.

Is there a way to try Raison before committing?

We work closely with each organisation to scope a pilot that fits their goals. Book a demo and we can talk through what a trial or pilot phase would look like for your team or institution.
