What is 5app?

5app is an AI-powered learning and skills intelligence platform that helps organisations understand, develop and improve workforce performance.

Helix — AI Skills Intelligence

At the heart of 5app is Helix, an AI-powered skills intelligence solution that analyses real workplace and training conversations to reveal demonstrated skills, behaviours and development opportunities.

Rather than relying solely on course completions, surveys or subjective assessments, Helix provides evidence of how people apply their skills in practice.

Through intuitive dashboards, organisational skills heatmaps and individual performance insights, Helix helps organisations:

  • Measure skills and behaviours demonstrated in real conversations.

  • Assess training quality and identify opportunities to improve delivery.

  • Understand individual and team strengths and development needs.

  • Deliver personalised AI coaching and actionable feedback.

  • Track skills development and performance trends over time.

Experience Helix for Free

Organisations can explore Helix through an instant, self-service trial with preloaded sample data and no time limit.

The Wider 5app Platform

Alongside Helix, 5app provides a connected ecosystem of learning and development solutions:

  • The Hub: A learning experience platform for delivering training, knowledge and internal communications.

  • VeeCoach: Personalised AI coaching, roleplay and scenario-based practice.

  • VeeCreate: AI-powered content creation that transforms existing materials and ideas into engaging learning experiences.

Together, these solutions help organisations move beyond measuring learning activity to understanding its impact on skills, training quality and real workplace performance.

What do you like best? 5App are a joy to work with. From understanding our vision and learning strategy - willing to join and be part of our journey and not just a provider. The 5App platform is so intuitive and requires zero training. Engagement is now 92% month on month! Through partnering with 5App we have been awarded a Gold Brandon Hall award for the 'Greystar Business School' (5App platform) and have a further submission where a product we have created was pushed through the platform. Highly recommend.
What do you dislike? I don't have anything I can really say that I don't like about the platform. Any suggestions or requests are either actioned or discussed and placed on the 'future roadmap'.

What do you like best? With the touch of a few buttons and no huge user manuals, we can upload and create playlists to share the latest business comms, news, onboarding welcomes, policies etc to the right people at the right time. The latest features have allowed content creation to happen across every team without the need to give everyone admin access. Whether you are an admin or a learner the UX is simple and there are regularly new features which enhance and improve how we use the hub at HF.
What do you dislike? We would like more features to support group learning and have social interactions, which are in the roadmap.

What do you like best? Very friendly and approachable customer service - account manager, product manager. They make you feel like you're their one and only client, and you feel your issues and questions are their priorities.
What do you dislike? Their platform is a work-in-progress and they develop/add features almost every month. I know if something bothers me and I make suggestions to improve, I will be listened to.
