Introducing Ask AI + AI Sources: Turn Your Content into a Competitive Advantage

At Disco, we’ve always believed that the best learning doesn’t come from generic AI answers — it comes from the expertise already living inside your programs, your teams, and your communities. That’s why we’re excited to announce Ask AI and AI Sources — two powerful features that work together to turn your organizational knowledge into scalable, AI-powered learning.

What is Ask AI?

Ask AI is your built-in conversational AI assistant, designed to meet learners wherever they are. Whether they’re inside a course, exploring a video, or searching for quick answers, Ask AI delivers contextual, personalized responses — using your actual learning content.

‍

Unlike generic AI chatbots that rely on open-ended web data, Ask AI is grounded in your content, your tone, and your expertise. Learners can ask questions globally (from the top nav) or directly within lessons, and get smart, relevant answers that reflect your program’s structure.

‍

Here’s what makes Ask AI unique:

• Instant, Personalized Answers: Ask AI prioritizes content closest to where the question is asked — Lesson → Course → Community → Web.
  
• Follow-up Prompts Keep Engagement Active: After every response, Ask AI suggests follow-up questions to deepen understanding.
  
• Always-On, Always Contextual: Whether it’s sales onboarding, leadership development, or an AI fluency course, Ask AI adapts to support your learners in real-time.
  
• Secure & Private: Responses are built from content learners already have permission to view. Data is processed securely with trusted partners — never used for training or shared beyond your request.
  

For admins, configuring Ask AI is as easy as toggling it on, customizing its nickname (like “Upskill Bot”), and deciding which suggested prompts appear globally or within lessons.

What is AI Sources?

While Ask AI is the face of Disco’s AI learning experience, AI Sources is the engine that makes sure it’s pulling from the right knowledge.

‍

AI Sources gives you full visibility and control over what content powers our AI tools — whether it’s Ask AI, Curriculum Generator, or Content Generator. It ensures that every AI-generated response is accurate, trustworthy, and aligned with your organization’s expertise.

‍

With AI Sources, you can:

• Centralize and Curate Knowledge Inputs: Manage internal sources like lessons, events, messages, and media — plus add external sources like Notion or public KBs.
  
• Configure Sources Per Feature: Decide what content Ask AI, Curriculum Generator, or Q&A bots can access.
  
• View and Manage Sync Status: Easily resync, remove, or audit your sources to keep AI outputs up-to-date.
  
• Trace Every AI Output Back to Its Source: Learners and admins can always see where an AI-generated answer came from — ensuring transparency and trust.
  

The best part? AI Sources does this without adding complexity to your workflows. Internal sources are auto-included, and external KBs are synced daily (or on-demand), all from a unified Sources tab in your Disco AI settings.

Why This Matters

Disco’s AI-first approach isn’t about replacing human expertise — it’s about scaling it. Ask AI and AI Sources ensure that your best practices, your playbooks, and your institutional knowledge are always accessible, always accurate, and always aligned with how your teams learn.

• For L&D Leaders: Deliver AI-powered coaching that reflects your actual processes.
• For Enablement Teams: Reduce time-to-ramp with AI that pulls from your product knowledge.
• For Learning Businesses: Offer a 24/7 learning assistant without burning out instructors.
  

By combining Ask AI’s in-the-moment learner support with AI Sources’ trusted knowledge curation, you’re not just using AI — you’re turning it into a competitive advantage.
