We're aiming to improve the existing Achievements feature, which will partially include the ability to customise or brand the badges, and support non-English languages.
Additional Managers
Additional Managers
Empower your team to receive support from people other than their line manager. It's common to receive learning and development support from coaches, mentors and colleagues outside of your immediate manager.

- The ability to view and manage managers through the Thrive App
Reporting ✨
AI embedded analytics
Led by our new Head of Data, Maria who joins us from Meta, HSBC and Vodafone, we're working to identify game-changing data and reporting features for Thrive. Our goal is to ensure that L&D teams have instant access to the data they need, empowering you to monitor progress, behaviour and compliance whilst measuring your learning's effectiveness to make data-driven decisions.
Key features
- New AI-powered embedded analytics MVP - ask any data questions in natural language and get accurate answers back from ThriveAnalyse.
- Enhanced compliance dashboard
- New user and behaviour dashboard
Sneak Peak
Intelligent Search ✨
Smart and semantic search results
Imagine if Thrive could not only find what you're searching for, but also understand exactly who you are. Search is going to get a whole lot smarter by diving deep into what your learners need to know, who they are, and how we can tailor answers to perfection. We'll use AI technology to surface accurate and relevant answers -- not just from Thrive, but other essential sources of information for your business.
What are we exploring?
- Semantic search that goes beyond matches but understands the context of the query
- Instant answers pulled from within content items, such as SCORM and video
- The ability to surface search results from information outside of Thrive
Adaptive Learning ✨
Hyper-personalised and adaptive user experiences.
We're all used to smart, personalised experiences online. Think the AI-curated Spotify DJ, Amazon buying recommendations, knowing what you need when you need it and the world of carefully curated social media and ads.
At Thrive, we're taking this to the next level by harnessing AI to craft the most personalised learning experiences that actively support growth, knowledge acquisition and even compliance. Thrive will already know you so well that it can predict your skills and knowledge gaps and only serve you what you need to work on, at the right time you need to work on it - making learning not just relevant but revolutionary.
What are we exploring?
- How we do start to understand personal needs - before the learner even knows what they need to learn?
- How does Thrive adjust content based on how users prefer to consume and interact with learning?
- How can Thrive create customised learning journeys?
- How can we tap into SMEs to support AI-powered learning experiences?
Audiences
Audiences, structures and auto-structures
No matter the size of your organisation, audience management supports Admins to build audiences in a way that makes sense to your business, teams and organisational structure. The goal with this project is to review the functionality of Audiences and Structures within Thrive, reimagining how they are created, managed, utilised, and automated.
Key features
- Improvements to how we share and assign content to specific users and groups.
- Optimisation of audience management
- Early work to automate tasks and structures for Admins
- Enhanced ways to nurture audiences as business's scale, develop and grow

Key features
- Automation of Admin and assignment management tasks
- Prompts for important Admin actions that require your attention
