Ervy and Zensai are employee training solutions that run inside Microsoft Teams and use AI to build courses, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Ervy is a lean microlearning tool that lives entirely in Microsot Teams. Zensai is a full HR platform covering learning, engagement, and performance.

We’ve prepared this guide so you can skip those months and figure out which one fits your needs in 15 minutes.
