🛠️ Kyle Brodeur Was Our LMS Bottleneck. Then He Built Us An AI Learning Ops Support System. As U of Digital has grown, so has the complexity of running learning programs for Fortune 500 teams. That meant more LMS administration, more documentation, and more repetitive operational work. Instead of accepting that bottleneck, Kyle built an AI-powered support system using Claude, Asana, and Intellum. The result is a system that helps us document processes, audit configurations, troubleshoot issues, and scale learning operations more efficiently, while keeping our team focused on delivering great learning experiences. This is the first in a series of posts where we’re sharing the AI systems we’ve built inside U of Digital. Check out Kyle’s build story, adapt the ideas for your team, and build something better. Kyle’s AI Learning Ops Support System: uof.digital/ai-intellum-cl… Want to see why we chose Intellum in the first place? Check out our Intellum case study: uof.digital/why-u-of-digit…
