Sophisticated automation for unparalleled efficiency and scalability
Today's learning programs are too complex to manage manually. New learners join every day, certifications expire, skills evolve, and training requirements constantly change. CYPHER automates the workflows behind learning so every learner receives the right experience at the right time. From enrollment and certifications to adaptive learning, gamification, and skills progression, automation helps organizations scale without increasing administrative effort.
“They have one of the best automation engines in the industry.”
John Leh, CEO and lead analyst of Talented Learning

Course-centric automation
Supercharged course creation and competency mapping. In minutes.
CYPHER Agent accelerates the creation of competency-based, gamified courses, with assessments in minutes – laying the foundations for personalized learning at scale. CYPHER Agent automatically generates skills, automatically associating them with courses, tagging modules and assessments with skills, and tracking learner competency. This is integral for ensuring programs meet specific skill and knowledge requirements. Streamline your tech stack and workflow. Get more time to do the things that matter most. Learn more about CYPHER Agent.
Trigger automations upon course enrollment or unenrollment, ensuring learners are welcomed or bid farewell appropriately. Set engagement triggers such as reminding users to visit a course when they are inactive.
Automatically award certificates upon course, module, or assessment completion, with customized PDF certificates filled out by the CYPHER platform. Celebrate accomplishments as learners reach key milestones, encouraging continued engagement and progression.
Implement score-based rules. For instance if a learner gets a low score, you can automatically lock subsequent modules until they achieve a certain score.
Define mastery rules that unlock advanced modules when learners reach a certain competency level, ensuring learners are constantly progressing.
Release course content in a structured manner, maintaining engagement and facilitating steady progress. Automatically lock/unlock courses a few days before/after they start/end.
Add levels and points to your courses, automating the awarding of points and badges to celebrate every step of the learning journey.
Adaptive learning automation
Automation continuously adapts learning based on learner progress, competency, and performance. Learners who demonstrate mastery move ahead faster, while those who need additional support automatically receive the content and recommendations that help them improve. This innovative feature empowers you to craft adaptive learning modules, assignments, and paths that evolve with each learner's proficiency.
Moreover, the CYPHER platform goes beyond traditional approaches by providing proactive recommendations. It suggests relevant materials and activities based on each learner's unique progress and interests, elevating the overall learning experience.
How the CYPHER recommendation engine works
- The recommendations engine starts by listing all skills linked to learner's active goals (excluding paused goals).
- Then, it subtracts all previously mastered skills, leaving skills the learner seeks.
- It then compiles courses and groups that cover the unmastered skills.
- The remaining recommendations are displayed in the "Recommendations" tab of the Goals widget and in the recommendations tab of the learner’s associated goal.
By default, learner recommendations recalculate every hour. However, when a new goal is added or an existing goal is paused/resumed/removed, recommendations regenerate immediately.

Learning path automation
Define actions that trigger with each milestone in a learner's path, from enrollment to achieving goals to path completion. Integrate gamification in paths to motivate learners, using badges and points to visualize their journey towards expertise.
E-commerce automation
Create rules that trigger when users purchase courses, bundles, subscriptions, or media items, such as adding buyers into groups or courses that enhance their learning experience. Manage subscription dynamics, from welcoming new subscribers to addressing cancellations with automated precision.
Automation for groups
Create rules that activate when users are added to or removed from groups. These rules include adding them to learning paths and then reporting changes to an LRS through our xAPI integration. This ensures learners are always in sync with their educational journey.
Automation for accounts
Whether you're training employees, partners, customers, contractors, dealers, or franchisees, automation ensures every learner starts with the right learning path from day one. Automation rules can be filtered by account type. For example, when new learners join, you can automatically enroll them in a course or learning path based on their team/organization/school.
"With CYPHER, we can now create, personalize, and adapt learning at scale. This has shifted our training strategy from static and reactive to dynamic and skills-driven. Administrative effort has been slashed by 40–50% because the system handles reminders and reporting automatically.."
Dr. Oscar Vázquez Meléndez, Orion International Virtual School
“To modernize our learning ecosystem, we implemented CYPHER to automate training processes, improve engagement, and optimize compliance tracking. CYPHER automation tools eliminated manual data cleanup, freeing up time for higher-impact learning initiatives..”
Daniel Frye, Sr. Manager Training Design, NTT DATA
“Centralized catalogs and learning paths were established to create clear, role-based journeys for employees. This ensured that onboarding was no longer dependent on live shadowing, but was instead a structured process that could be tracked and measured in real-time.”
