The 9brains Academy: get to know 9brains while you work

When you open 9brains for the first time, you see an input field. What lies behind it, from shared chats and your own knowledge base to an agent that works for you on its own, many people only discover after weeks. From now on, 9brains shows you itself: in the 9brains Academy.

An octopus at your side

A small octopus now sits at the edge of your screen. It suggests your next lesson, shows you exactly where to continue if you want, and speaks up as soon as you have completed something. You don’t have to work through anything: whatever you do anyway is ticked off by itself, including what you had already done before. If you need some quiet, you hide it with one click.

Eight chapters, from your first chat to your own app

The Academy takes you through 9brains step by step: your first chat, working as a team, setting up your 9brains, models and costs, working with legal certainty, connecting your data, projects, skills and agents, and finally apps. You only see what your license and your rights let you use.

Points, levels and a leaderboard

Every task earns you points, and with them you rise from Beachcomber to Ocean explorer. On the leaderboard you compare yourself with your colleagues, under a name of your own choosing, never under your real one. Anyone who would rather not take part stays off it, and administrators can switch the leaderboard off for the whole workspace.

AI literacy under the EU AI Act, with proof

The EU AI Act requires companies to promote the AI literacy of their employees. The chapter “Working with legal certainty” takes a lot of that off your hands: in seven short lessons your team learns how to use AI safely and lawfully, from personal data, trade secrets and copyright to labeling AI-generated content.

With the Business and Max licenses, each person then issues themselves a proof of training as a PDF. It covers more than the lessons, it also shows practical use: an annex lists the tasks from the other chapters that 9brains recognized while the person worked, with the date. If you have built an agent or connected a data source, you can prove it. Under Settings → Administration → Academy, administrators see how far their team has got, who has completed the lessons and whom they should still reach out to. There they download each person’s proof and export the whole list for your records.

How to start

The Academy is open to everyone with a chat license. You find it in your user menu at the bottom left under Academy.
