New in Labs: AI Avatars

I’m honestly really excited to see Articulate adding AI Avatars. As someone working in Learning and Development, this feels like one of those features that could genuinely change how we think about building eLearning.

A lot of online training can feel flat when it is just text, screenshots, and the occasional voiceover. AI Avatars give us a chance to make learning feel more personal and engaging without needing a full video setup, a presenter, lighting, recording time, and multiple retakes. That is a big deal for training teams that are trying to create helpful content quickly, but still want it to feel polished and human.

What excites me most is the potential. I can see avatars being used for course introductions, short explanations, process overviews, scenario-based learning, knowledge checks, and even quick messages that help guide the learner through a course. It makes me think differently about how we can bring more personality and connection into eLearning.

I know this technology will keep improving, but I’m really encouraged by where Articulate is going with it. It feels like we are at the beginning of something that could make eLearning more engaging, more approachable, and honestly, more fun to create.
