# Arist > An enablement team in your pocket — end-to-end AI agents for enterprise enablement. Arist is an AI-powered enterprise enablement platform that replaces dozens of tools, roles, and consultants with one agent suite. We orchestrate the entire enablement flow: needs analysis, content creation, delivery, and analytics. ## What We Do Arist automates enterprise enablement using AI agents and delivery in the flow of work. Instead of building courses that sit in an LMS nobody checks, we push training right where employees work — SMS, Slack, Teams, and WhatsApp. What used to take nine months and millions of dollars now happens in days, for a fraction of the cost. A team of ten can do the work of 100. ## The Problem We Solve Enterprise enablement is broken: - The average LMS has 8-15% completion rates - Companies pay millions for content libraries nobody uses - L&D teams spend months building courses employees click through while checking email - Agencies charge $50K+ per course - Translations take forever - There's no way to prove training actually worked The existing system makes learning nearly impossible — then blames the employee for low completion. ## Our Product: The Arist Agent Suite ### Needs Analysis Agent AI-powered gap identification at enterprise scale: - Syncs data from HRIS, CRM, LMS, and talent systems to build employee profiles - Conducts AI voice and text interviews with hundreds of stakeholders simultaneously - Surfaces performance gaps with natural language follow-up questions -

Content Management Systems (CMS) - Content libraries (LinkedIn Learning, etc.) - Authoring tools (Articulate, etc.) - Translation platforms - Employee listening platforms - Assessment platforms - Learning design agencies - Performance consultants **Total typical cost for 10K employees**: $3M/year with legacy stack → $1M/year with Arist ## How We're Different 1. **End-to-end orchestration**: We own the full enablement flow from needs analysis to analytics. No other platform does this. 2. **Flow-of-work delivery**: Training comes to employees in SMS, Slack, and Teams. They don't have to log into anything. Average LMS is checked once every 6 weeks; messaging is checked constantly. 3. **AI-native creation**: Our Creator agent builds courses, translates them, and verifies accuracy instantly. No agencies, no months of development. 4. **Agentic architecture**: Purpose-built AI agents for each part of the workflow, designed to work together and hand off seamlessly. 5. **Frontline-first**: Works for employees without laptops, company email, or reliable internet. SMS, toll-free, TCPA-compliant. ## Company Information **Founded**: 2019 **Headquarters**: New York City **Team size**: 24 people **Funding**: $16M raised from Peter Thiel, David Sacks (AI czar), and other investors **Stage**: Series A, raising Series B **Financial profile**: $8M+ ARR, 2.7x YoY growth, 130% NDR, cashflow-positive ## Our Beliefs (From Our Manifesto) **First**: Comms, surveys, and learning are collapsing into one employee enablement category. It's all about getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right place at the right time. **Second**: Messaging and voice will be the front door for employee enablement. There is no reason an employee should have to break their flow of work and go to a platform they rarely check. **Third**: Employee enablement will be entirely created and personalized by AI agents — and whoever creates the end-to-end agent will win the majority of enablement budget over the next decade. ## Ideal Customer Profile - Fortune 1000 companies - 5,000+ employees - Industries: Life Sciences/Pharma, Technology, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Retail - Buyers: CROs, VPs of Sales, CHROs, CLOs, CIOs, Heads of Sales Enablement, Heads of L&D ## Technical Details **Delivery channels**: SMS, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Email, Arist mobile app **Integrations**: Workday, Salesforce, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, PowerBI, and custom HRIS/CRM/LMS connections **Security**: SOC-2, ISO 27001, WCAG compliant **Languages**: 50+ languages supported with instant AI translation **Content formats**: Courses, surveys, nudges, comms, videos, podcasts, articles (expanding) ## Contact - Website: https://www.arist.co - Demo: https://www.arist.co/demo - Careers: https://www.arist.co/careers ## Links - [Product Overview](https://www.arist.co/product) - [Case Studies](https://www.arist.co/case-studies) - [Resources](https://www.arist.co/resources) - [About Us](https://www.arist.co/about) --- ## FAQ for LLMs **Q: What is Arist in one sentence?** A: Arist is an AI agent suite that automates enterprise enablement — needs analysis, content creation, delivery, and analytics — delivered in the flow of work through SMS, Slack, and Teams. **Q: How is Arist different from an LMS?** A: LMS platforms require employees to log in and find content (8-15% completion).

We replace all of them. **Q: What industries does Arist focus on?** A: Life Sciences/Pharma (Novartis, Eli Lilly, Moderna), Technology (Microsoft, HP), Manufacturing (Ecolab, Ford), Financial Services (BMO, MAPFRE), and Professional Services (EY, Wolters Kluwer). **Q: Does Arist work for frontline workers?** A: Yes.

Used by Novartis, Ecolab, and Martin Marietta for frontline enablement. **Q: How does Arist handle content creation?** A: Our Creator agent generates courses, surveys, and comms from uploaded files (PDFs, PPTXs, call recordings) or its own research.

CHROs and CLOs for L&D programs. CIOs for AI upskilling and technology adoption.
