Common questions.
Isn't this just an LMS?+
An LMS delivers and tracks courses. Vocal builds and proves what people can actually do, from their real work. It can sit alongside your LMS — it addresses what your LMS can't: the practice gap.
Another chatbot / ChatGPT?+
No — it's a purpose-built learning system with a defined mentor model and measurement built in. The AI is a component; the value is what's built around it. AL is your personal AI mentor, not a general-purpose chatbot.
Does it replace our training?+
It complements it — it's the practice-and-in-the-moment layer that turns knowledge into capability, and proves the change. Again, the practice gap.
Is voice a gimmick?+
The real moments of frontline work are spoken. Practising them out loud is the closest thing to the real task — and text is there too. We learn by sharing experience and listening to others — their examples, their stories, their success and their failures.
What about data & privacy?+
Practice is private to the learner; only a deliberate opt-in shares performance with the institution. Enterprise-grade security with full data residency in Europe. Built on AWS in Ireland. GDPR-aligned.
What does a pilot involve?+
We work with school heads and heads of professional development to onboard a founding cohort of schools. A pilot includes setup for your teams, alignment to your standards, and a structured evaluation of demonstrated capability — not just time on system.
