Q1 2026 Product Launch: Smarter Tools, Faster Execution.
Our Q1 release is here, bringing more control, deeper insights, and scalable tools to power your programs forward.
From AI Assistant upgrades to enhanced analytics, smarter content recommendations, and flexible scoring, these updates are designed to help you deliver better learning experiences and stronger outcomes.
Here are the highlights:
AI ASSISTANT UPGRADES
More control. More accuracy. Less lift.

AI Assistant is now more configurable, giving you direct control over the content it uses and how it responds.
Admins can self-serve content ingestion by assigning referential courses, reducing setup time and giving you more control. And with Response Guardrails, you decide how strictly AI sticks to your content—from strict course-only responses to more flexible, knowledge-driven answers. It also now opens in a right-side panel, creating a cleaner experience that lets learners use AI alongside course content.
AI Assistant Upgrades enable you to:
- Self-serve AI setup by assigning referential content
- Control how AI generates responses with configurable guardrails
- Deliver a more seamless learner experience with an improved interface
Use Cases This Impacts:
Ideal for Exam Prep and Continuing Education programs where accuracy, control, and speed matter.
BENCHPREP ANALYTICS UPDATES
Deeper insights. Smarter decisions.
BenchPrep Analytics continues to evolve, with new reports that give you greater visibility into how learners engage with your programs and content.
From Curriculums and Session Detail Reports to exam-level insights per attempt, you can now analyze progress at a more granular level. Tag-based filters make it easier to pinpoint performance trends, while faster load times and in-platform links help you move from insight to action quickly.
Reminder: Legacy dashboards will be sunset on April 7. BenchPrep Analytics is the new standard moving forward.
The latest updates to BenchPrep Analytics now enables you to:
- Analyze curriculum-level progress and session-level behavior
- Track exam performance across individual attempts
- Filter question data by tags for deeper performance insights
- Navigate and act faster with improved speed and linking
Use Cases This Impacts:
Essential for Exam Prep and Continuing Education programs seeking deeper performance visibility to optimize outcomes, meet compliance requirements, and drive continuous improvement.
LEARNING HUB IMPROVEMENTS (TAG-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS)
Smarter recommendations. More ways to discover.

Building on learning path-based recommendations, you can now use tags to surface even more relevant content across the Learning Hub.
Tag-based recommendations help connect learners to the right resources based on topics and context, making discovery easier and engagement more consistent.
Tag-based Recommendations in Learning Hub enable you to:
- Surface content dynamically using tags
- Expand recommendations beyond structured learning paths
- Improve content discovery and engagement
Use Cases This Impacts:
Ideal for Continuing Education and Training programs looking to increase engagement without added manual curation.
SCALED SCORING
Flexible scoring that grows with your program.
Scaled Scoring gives you more flexibility in how learner performance is evaluated without adding operational complexity.
Apply consistent scoring across large cohorts, support more complex evaluation models, and manage results more efficiently as your programs grow.
Scaled Scoring enables you to:
- Apply flexible scoring models across assessments
- Maintain consistency across large learner populations
- Reduce manual effort in scoring workflows
Use Cases This Impacts:
Ideal for Exam Prep and Training programs managing large-scale or high-stakes assessments.
Whether your focus is exam prep, continuing education, or training programs, BenchPrep helps you move beyond engagement to measurable impact.
