Inside the product

Ask Help, and it answers from these pages.

Alethris Help is built into every academy, for staff and learners alike. It answers from the Guides, says which one it used, and never uses your AI credits.

That is why the Guides are worth keeping honest: a correction here reaches every academy at once.

If Help cannot answer something, the Guides are missing a page. Tell us which one.

Ask us anything the Guides do not cover.

Sales answers questions about fit and pricing. If you already use Alethris, raise a support case from inside the product instead, because it carries your academy or your record with it.
