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.

What does IT Trainerbot cost?

IT Trainerbot is free. Create an Adept account and you get unlimited answers on the platform, 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 monthly, or $228 a year, billed annually. The rate is the same either way. Plus does not include videos, virtual labs, or practice exams. Those come with a CBT Nuggets subscription.

Is IT Trainerbot included with a CBT Nuggets subscription?

Yes. CBT Nuggets Individual includes everything in IT Trainerbot Plus, plus the full CBT Nuggets catalog of courses, virtual labs, and practice exams for one learner, at $49 a month, billed annually. CBT Nuggets Teams includes all of that for every seat, plus 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, from 1 seat at $59 per seat per month, billed annually. Both are purchased on the web.

How does IT Trainerbot help me as an IT leader?

IT Trainerbot reduces escalations by giving your engineers instant answers on the CBT Nuggets platform, 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 requires 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.
