Insight is only half the battle, it’s what you do next that counts.

In this episode of 5Cast, Corey Mitchell (Sales Manager) and Philip Huthwaite (CEO of 5app) unpack the powerful new integration between Helix, 5app’s AI-powered skills intelligence platform, and VeeCreate, its AI content authoring tool, designed to turn skill gaps into personalised training programs in minutes, not months.

You’ll hear:

• What VeeCreate actually is and how it works

• Real-world examples of dry policy docs turned into interactive experiences

• How Helix identifies specific skill gaps

• And how VeeCreate instantly generates tailored content to close them: micro-courses, guides, action plans, and more.

This integration closes the loop for L&D: from measuring soft skills to developing them with purpose-built content, all with a few prompts.
No more content-for-content’s-sake. No more guesswork. Just relevant, role-based learning; when it’s needed, and where it matters.

Helix gives you insight. VeeCoach turns that insight into action.

In this episode of 5Cast, Corey Mitchell (Sales Manager) is joined by 5app CEO Philip Huthwaite to explore how integrating Helix, the AI-powered skills intelligence platform, with VeeCoach, 5app’s AI coaching agent, delivers something L&D has been chasing for years: personalised learning at scale.

You’ll hear:

• What VeeCoach actually is, and how it fits into the wider 5app ecosystem

• How it surfaces the right content from your platform (not just more content)

• How “capabilities” let you build realistic, role-based training scenarios

• How Helix scores trigger tailored coaching experiences from beginner to expert

• And what’s next in the roadmap for even deeper AI-powered personalisation

If you’ve ever wanted to do something useful with your learning data, this is the episode for you.

We’ve talked about showing up. We’ve talked about growing. Now it’s time to talk about standing out.

In the final episode of our Core 9 soft skill mini-series, Corey Mitchell (Sales Manager) sits down with 5app CEO Philip Huthwaite to explore the three high-impact skills at the top of the pyramid:

• Growth Mindset: Are you curious, open to feedback, and learning from failure?

• Results Focus: Are your decisions data-led and goal-driven; or are you just filling up your to-do list?

• Strategic Vision: Are you aligning your actions with the bigger picture, not just doing the day job?

These aren’t just buzzwords, they’re measurable signals that Helix is now tracking in real workplace conversations, giving L&D leaders a whole new lens on impact. Not just activity.

If you’ve ever wondered how to prove you're not being a “busy fool” (Philip’s words!), then this is the episode for you!

In part two of our Core 9 deep dive, Corey Mitchell (Sales Manager) and Philip Huthwaite (CEO) explore the softer — but critical — side of leadership: coachability, coaching, and communication.

You’ll learn:

• Coachability: How open are you to feedback, and what behaviours show you’re willing to grow?

• Coaching: The art of asking the right questions, creating reflection moments, and adapting your style for one-to-one vs. group settings.

• Communication: Why clarity, structure, and adaptability matter more than simply how much you speak.

Philip explains how Helix’s AI tracks these subtle behaviours in real workplace interactions — giving leaders and teams insights they can act on. Whether you’re mentoring, managing, or learning, these skills help everyone move forward together.

Welcome to part one of our mini-series diving into the Core 9 soft skills tracked by Helix, 5app’s AI-powered Skills Intelligence platform.

In this episode, Corey Mitchell (Sales Manager) and Philip Huthwaite (CEO) explore what it really means to “show up” at work, and how Helix is finally helping L&D teams measure it.

Together, they unpack three foundational skills:

• Accountability: Do you step up in meetings, take ownership, and share progress?

• Active Listening: Are you truly hearing others, asking clarifying questions, and confirming understanding?

• Change Management: Can you demonstrate progress and steer your work, even without a Gantt chart?

From micro-moments to shared ownership, you'll hear how Helix uses real workplace signals to track soft skill behaviours in action, not theory.
