AI learning assistant for courses, training and certification
nerilio answers questions about your course content, guides learners step by step and supports you in assessing their work – based on your own materials, GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU. For e-learning providers, academies, training organisations and corporate learning teams.
Test nerilio for free with your course material
A demo with someone else's examples tells you little about how nerilio works with your content. So we show it to you on your material – an excerpt is enough.
What we need
- A chapter, a script or a slide deck from a running course
- A question your participants typically ask
- If you want to extend your exams: one exam question with your marking scheme
Demo with your content
We set nerilio up with your excerpt in advance and show you all three ways of working in a short live demo – including assessment.
Request a demoOpen-ended consultation
We look at your use case and tell you honestly whether nerilio fits. If it doesn't, we'll say so.

Upload a file of your own and start asking questions right away – in the free plan with Q&A mode. We show tutor and assessment in the demo.
Start for freeWhy learner support rarely scales
Support ends when the course does
Learners are left alone with their questions as soon as the trainer is offline. Those who cannot ask drop out or learn the wrong thing – completion rates suffer, not the material.
Content is static
PDFs, videos and slide decks explain the same thing to everyone at the same pace. Anyone who needs a different explanation will not find one – and anyone who is faster gets bored.
Assessment costs people time
Multiple choice can be automated, free text so far cannot. The very answers that show whether someone has understood have to be read and graded by a human.
Three ways of working – shown on one course
You decide per bot which role it takes. The knowledge base stays the same. Here all three on the same course unit: writing learning objectives.
Answering questions
Learners ask in their own words and get answers exclusively from your materials, optionally with a source reference to the course unit. No invented knowledge, no answers from outside the course.
- Answer with a source in the course
- Related questions as quick replies
- Asks back when a question is unclear
nerilio · Q&A- What makes a good learning objective?
- A good learning objective describes what participants can do at the end – not what the course covers. It names an observable action, the situation in which it is shown, and fits the course's exercises and assessment.Source: Workbook module 2 · chapter 1Give me an exampleHow many objectives fit into one seminar day?
Guiding understanding
In tutor mode nerilio doesn't just explain – it leads step by step to the solution, explanatory, Socratic or step-by-step. Level and pace are adjustable, and it sums up at the end of a unit.
- Asks back before explaining
- Works with the learner's own example
- Progress indicator per lesson
nerilio · Tutor- How do I write a good learning objective?
- Tutor · SocraticLet's try it on your own seminar. What should your participants be able to do after the course that they couldn't do before?
- They should understand Excel better.
- A good start. But “understand” is hard to observe. How would you notice that someone can do it? For example: “Participants create a pivot table from a data set.” That turns a wish into a testable learning objective.Source: Workbook module 2 · chapter 2.1, writing testable objectives
Assessing knowledge
In assessment mode nerilio asks targeted questions, evaluates the answers against your marking scheme and proposes a score – for multiple choice, true/false and open questions. You make the decision.
- Open questions, multiple choice or true/false
- Reasoning per criterion
- Score as a proposal, decision with you
nerilio · Assessment- Assessment · question 3 of 8 · open questionWrite a learning objective for a seminar on time management that describes what participants can do at the end.
- Participants know the Eisenhower matrix.
- Evaluation against the marking scheme1 / 3
- Fits the topic of time management
- Describes an observable skill rather than knowledge
- States a situation or standard
The topic fits. But “know” describes knowledge – it doesn't show whether someone can actually use the matrix. Better, for example: “Participants prioritise the tasks of their working week using the Eisenhower matrix.”
The score is a proposal based on your marking scheme. You make the decision.
Sources can be scripts, slide decks, manuals – and just as well training videos and transcripts.
Evaluating free text – not just ticking boxes
Most learning bots can answer questions. When it comes to assessing work, they are no help at all. That is exactly where nerilio supports you: targeted questions on your content, free answers in the learner's own words, a traceable evaluation against your marking scheme and a proposed score. Feedback comes either immediately after each question or collected at the end, and retries can be allowed or ruled out. Responsibility for the result stays with you – nerilio prepares the decision, it does not make it.
Trainer certification for an international provider
An international provider of trainer certifications extends its final exam with nerilio: module by module, with free-text answers, marks per question and a pass mark of 80 percent. At the end there is an evaluation organised by topic, for which the provider is responsible. The exam can be paused and resumed later.
Examiners receive the evaluation prepared in advance – around the clock, in every time zone, without scheduling. The grading stays with them.

What nerilio is not meant for
Not a replacement for your LMS
Courses, enrolments and certificates stay in your learning management system. nerilio sits inside it and handles asking, practising and assessing.
No grading without people
Assessment mode evaluates and proposes. You decide on results, passing and certificates.
Not a replacement for your trainers
nerilio accompanies learners between sessions and after the course. The relationship with your participants stays with you.
Where your learners already are
Inside your LMS
Integration with existing learning platforms such as Moodle or ILIAS – the assistant sits inside the course, not on a separate page.
On the course page
A single script tag is enough, the chat widget renders itself. No rebuild of your platform, no build step.
As a standalone exam page
Assessments also run as a separate page with their own link – useful if you want to extend a certification exam independently of the course system.
With your branding
Logo, name and colours are configurable, and fully under your own domain on request.
Learning data stays learning data
Learners reveal more about themselves in an assistant than in any test: what they do not understand, how often they ask again, where they fail. That is why nerilio processes exclusively on EU servers, trains no models with your content or your learners' input, and answers only from the knowledge base you release.
- Hosting and processing in the EU
- No training with your data or your learners' input
- Answers exclusively from your released content
- Accessibility statement following WCAG 2.1 AA and EN 301 549
AI-based exams and the AI Act
Exams decide about qualifications, certificates and careers. The AI Act therefore treats them as particularly sensitive in education and sets requirements for everyone who assesses learners with AI support. We address that openly rather than working around the question.
Why exams are treated differently
Assessing someone's performance goes deeper than answering a question: it can decide on admission, certification and career. That is why the AI Act calls for traceability instead of a black box, oversight by people, and protection against systematic disadvantage – for instance of learners not answering in their first language.
What that means for you as the deployer
You decide on results, not the assistant. That includes appropriately qualified people who can review and correct an evaluation, informing the people being assessed, traceable logs and – for public bodies – a fundamental rights impact assessment. How far the requirements reach in detail depends on how you design your exam.
How we build nerilio
We develop nerilio along these requirements: traceable evaluation instead of opaque grading, human final decision as a founding principle, processing in the EU, no training with your data. The AI disclosure required by Article 50 is in place, and we are preparing for the obligations that apply to assessment systems from December 2027.
We work out the details together
No two exam scenarios are alike. We look at your specific case with you in advance, classify it and record who takes on which role. We are available for questions about it – including before you decide on nerilio.
This is not legal advice. It is meant to spare you the question of whether you need any.

Compare all plansFrequently asked questions from education
Yes. nerilio integrates with common learning platforms such as Moodle or ILIAS and appears directly in the course context. Alternatively you embed the chat widget on any page with a single script tag. For individual connections to an LMS, CMS or API, a personal contact supports you from the Pro plan onwards.
Answers are checked against the stored content and the marking scheme you define. You set how many marks are available per question, how many questions are asked and how difficult they should be. The result is proposed as a score, and feedback comes immediately after each question or collected at the end. Whether that proposal becomes an exam result is your decision.
nerilio uses RAG technology and answers exclusively on the basis of the content you provide. If the information is missing from the knowledge base, the assistant says so instead of guessing. On request, the source used is shown with every answer so learners can look it up in the course unit.
Processing and hosting take place in the EU. Your content and your learners' input are not used to train AI models. Details are in our privacy policy; for data processing agreements and questions about implementation at your institution, talk to us directly.
A first assistant with your materials is ready in minutes: upload content, choose the operating mode, embed the widget. It only gets more involved with deep LMS integration, a custom marking scheme or full white-labelling – and we support you with those.
Yes, in two ways. In the free demo we set nerilio up with an excerpt from your material and show you all three ways of working – including assessment. Or you try it yourself: in the free plan you upload a file of your own and ask questions in Q&A mode for 30 days.
Q&A mode is included in every plan, including the free one. Tutor and assessment are available from the Pro plan. In the Enterprise plan we also develop custom ways of working with you.
We always set up assessment together with you, because questions, marking scheme and process have to fit your course.
Role plays – for feedback, conflict or sales conversations, for example – are something we develop as a custom way of working for your course.
For reflection and questions between sessions, the Socratic tutor mode already works today.
