From a goal to proven skill, in one loop

Agents take every person from learning a skill, to practicing it, to using it in their real job. The loop runs every day, and gets better every night.

Nodx · How it works

Step by step

What happens at each step, which agents do it, and what the person comes away with.

01

Onboarding

Step 01 · Onboarding interview

Onboarding sets the tone and direction.

Agents gather company context, interview the person, and connect their learning goals with the company's strategic direction.

Who does it
Onboarding agent
What they get
A profile: their goals, what's in the way, how they learn, and what the company is aiming for.
02

Development goal

Step 02 · Development targets

Each skill set gets one target level.

Agents set the target (Foundation, Practitioner or Proficient) from the organization, or from the person's role and personal goals.

Who does it
Nodx
What they get
One target level for each skill set, from the organization or from their role and goals.
Step 03 · Skills assessment

Assessing the current level.

Agents run a battery of tests to find the development gaps and place the person at the right starting point.

Who does it
Nodx
What they get
A starting point, and the exact gaps between it and the target.
03

Teaching the foundation

Step 04 · Personalized lesson

Foundation is about teaching.

Agents create or find learning resources so people grasp the concepts behind the skill set.

Who does it
Foundation agent
What they get
Lessons and resources built for their gaps, until they can explain the concepts.
04

Continuous updates

Step 05 · Agents review her progress

Each night, the plan is updated.

Agents meet nightly to decide the best way forward, update their memory, and come up with new lessons and exercises.

Who does it
All the agents
What they get
Tomorrow's plan, new lessons and exercises, and what worked passed on to people like them.
05

Practice

Step 06 · Sandbox exercise

Sandboxes provide room to practice.

Once the foundation is mastered, agents design safe experiments in a sandbox to build confidence.

Who does it
Practitioner agent
What they get
Safe experiments in a sandbox, with coaching on every attempt.
Step 07 · Scenario simulation

Simulations build critical thinking.

Agents build scenario-driven practice, from business simulations to short “what if” exercises.

Who does it
Practitioner agent
What they get
Business simulations and short “what if” exercises, with consequences.
Step 08 · Voice roleplay

Roleplays help put thinking into words.

Agents create roleplay personas that simulate real, high-stakes conversations.

Who does it
Practitioner agent
What they get
Roleplay calls with realistic personas, for the conversations that matter.
06

Apply at work

Step 09 · On-the-job task

Real-life missions help people apply it.

Agents suggest live assignments from the person's actual context, so skills get tested in the real world.

Who does it
Field agent
What they get
Live assignments from their actual week, and a debrief that shapes what's next.
Step 10 · Manager report

Leaders get the insight to support.

Agents treat reporting as one more step in developing both the person and their manager.

Who does it
Manager Analytics
What they get
Insight their manager can act on, with the evidence, to confirm the level and support them.

Three levels, three kinds of development

Every skill moves through the same three levels. At each one, the agents change how they develop the person.

  1. Foundation

    Teaching

    Agents create or find lessons and resources until the person can explain the concepts behind the skill.

    • Interactive lessons
    • Explainers
    • Checks of understanding
  2. Practitioner

    Experience

    Agents set up practice that pushes back, safe enough to fail and real enough to matter.

    • Sandboxes
    • Business simulations
    • Voice roleplays
  3. Proficient

    Real work

    Agents assign missions from the person's own week, review the real work, and the manager confirms the level.

    • Live missions
    • Work reviews
    • Manager sign-off
