Frequently Asked Questions

An AI training agent is software that customizes compliance training to your company's real risk signals and actual policies. It reviews your disclosure, case, and policy data to find gaps, drafts the updates, and routes them to you for approval. The compliance leader approves every course change before any employee sees it.

An AI disclosure agent is software that manages the full process for conflict of interest, gift, and outside employment disclosures. It collects submissions from employees through a guided chat, compares them against your policies, and drafts a recommended response. It filters out the routine cases and routes only the submissions that need human judgment to your team. The compliance leader approves every response before it's sent to the employee.

An AI policy agent is software that runs the administrative work of your policy program while keeping you in control of every decision. It reads your existing policies against current regulations, your past decisions, and the questions your employees are actually asking. It drafts updates for gaps and overlaps and routes every proposed change to the compliance team for review. The compliance leader approves every change before it reaches employees.

An AI third-party risk agent is software that continuously monitors your vendors and partners for ethics and compliance exposures. It screens against sanctions lists, regulatory actions, litigation, and ownership changes every day, scoring what it finds against the actual risk each vendor poses to your business. The agent routes only the issues that need human judgment to your team. The compliance leader approves every escalation before any action is taken.

Policy Bot is an employee-facing chatbot that answers policy questions instantly, in plain language, using only the policies and handbooks your team has approved. Employees ask questions like "Can I accept a gift from a client?" and get an answer with a link to the exact source. It's the employee-facing side of the Policy Agent.

Policy Bot faces your employees. The Policy Agent faces you. Policy Bot answers the day-to-day questions employees ask from your approved policies. The Policy Agent reads the trends in those questions, catches the policies that need work, and drafts the updates for your review. The questions employees ask Policy Bot become the signals the Policy Agent acts on.

No. The Training Agent drafts, suggests, and previews the changes, but nothing reaches an employee until the compliance team approves it. This is Ethena's "compliance in the loop" principle. The agents do the heavy lifting. The compliance leader makes every final judgment call.

Short answer: tech wizardry. The Ethena platform is incredibly flexible, built to send the right training to the right people, automatically, based on characteristics like location, management level, etc. You can also manage your course settings manually if you are so inclined.

Ethena’s training is primarily designed for e-learning, but we also support teams that prefer to deliver training live. With our Kiosk and Classroom Modes, you can facilitate Ethena courses in real time, in person or over a virtual meeting, while keeping everything organized in one platform.

Here’s how Classroom Mode works:

• Deliver training live: Present Ethena’s content to a group of learners during a live session, whether you’re together in a room or meeting remotely.
• Track attendance: Mark learners as present directly in the platform, ensuring completion records stay accurate.
• Flexible format: Use it for all-hands sessions, manager trainings, annual refreshers, or any situation where live facilitation fits your culture or compliance needs.
• Consistent content: Even in a live setting, employees see the same engaging, modern training material Ethena is known for.

So while Ethena specializes in high-quality online training, you still have the flexibility to run sessions live when it makes sense for your team.
