Thought Industries sells Academy, a learning management product for building customer courses, learning paths, certifications and live training, and Lens, a governed knowledge layer that answers customer questions across a product, help center and AI tools. Both products run on one shared knowledge layer so courses, help articles and AI answers do not contradict each other. Academy is priced by the number of learners, and Lens has a free tier with paid plans billed monthly.
