Frequently Asked Questions

What IT Trainerbot costs, what each tier includes, how the answers are backed, and what an IT team gets

What is IT Trainerbot?

IT Trainerbot answers IT questions from CBT Nuggets training content, the courses built and taught by human IT experts. Every answer cites the exact video it came from, with a timestamp. You get the answer you need now and the source to learn from. It is available on the CBT Nuggets platform and in the iOS and Android apps.

What does IT Trainerbot cost?

IT Trainerbot is free. Create an Adept account and you get unlimited answers on the platform and on mobile, every one citing its source video. Unlimited answers are subject to fair use, which protects the service from bots and scripted scraping. The free tier is answers only. It does not include saved conversations, memories, Deep Think, image and file upload, videos, labs, or practice exams.

What does IT Trainerbot Plus add?

IT Trainerbot Plus adds saved conversations, memories, Deep Think, and image and file upload on top of everything in IT Trainerbot. It is $19 a month billed annually, or $29 a month month to month. Plus does not include videos, virtual labs, or practice exams. Those come with a CBT Nuggets subscription.

What is IT Trainerbot Pro?

IT Trainerbot Pro is the IT Trainerbot name for CBT Nuggets Individual: everything in IT Trainerbot Plus and the full CBT Nuggets catalog of courses, virtual labs, and practice exams for one learner, at $49 a month, billed annually. In the mobile apps it is listed as IT Trainerbot Pro; on the web and your invoice it is CBT Nuggets Individual.

What is IT Trainerbot for Teams?

IT Trainerbot for Teams is the IT Trainerbot name for CBT Nuggets Teams, and it is included with every Teams seat. Every engineer gets everything in Individual. The account adds team management, usage reporting (questions per member, top topics, and the training those answers came from), team playlists, SSO/SAML, and internal training built from your own content. Teams starts at 1 seat at $59 per seat per month, billed annually, and is purchased on the web.

How does IT Trainerbot help me as an IT Director?

IT Trainerbot reduces escalations by giving your engineers instant answers on the CBT Nuggets platform or on mobile, where they already work. You see what your team is asking, which tells you what to train next. Every answer cites the CBT Nuggets video it came from, so each question becomes a training touchpoint. Engineers can start on the free tier before you buy. CBT Nuggets Teams adds the videos and labs those answers cite and the reporting you need to run training as a program.

Does IT Trainerbot include the training videos?

Not on the free tier or IT Trainerbot Plus. Every answer links to the video it came from, and watching that video needs access to the course through a CBT Nuggets Individual or Teams subscription, or by unlocking that one course. Course Unlock is a one-time purchase for one year of access to a single course, up to $299 per course; many courses cost less. IT Trainerbot offers the unlock inside the answer when you need it.

How is IT Trainerbot different from a general AI tool?

General AI tools answer from the open web and can be confidently wrong. IT Trainerbot answers only from CBT Nuggets expert training content. Every response cites the course and timestamp, so you can verify it and learn from it. If a question falls outside the catalog, IT Trainerbot says so rather than guessing. Answers you can trust and learn from.

Does IT Trainerbot work in the mobile apps?

Yes. IT Trainerbot is in the iOS and Android apps and on the CBT Nuggets platform, with the same answers and the same source-video citations on every surface. IT Trainerbot Plus and IT Trainerbot Pro can be purchased in the apps; IT Trainerbot for Teams is listed in the stores and purchased on the web.
