AI goal assistant

This AI feature is built into the existing Goals feature in Perform.

Known as the AI goal assistant, this AI feature is an option presented to learners if they want additional support in crafting a well-structured goal following the ‘SMART’ goal format. The learner will be asked a series of open questions, and then the AI goal assistant will help to format this into a first draft of a well-structured goal.
