CBT Nuggets

About this app

Two tools in one app: the official CBT Nuggets training player for subscribers, and Trainerbot — a free, IT-specific AI assistant available to anyone who installs the app, no subscription required.

TRAINERBOT — FREE FOR EVERYONE

Trainerbot is an AI assistant built specifically for IT professionals. It's grounded in 25+ years of CBT Nuggets training content, sourced and validated 100% from the training content ion the CBT library. Ask anything:

• "Walk me through OSPF area types and when to use each."
• "Why is my Azure Conditional Access policy blocking legitimate sign-ins?"
• "Difference between IAM roles and resource-based policies in AWS?"
• "Explain VLAN trunking like I've configured a few but never read the standard."

Most general AI assistants hallucinate confidently on technical specifics — wrong CLI flags, made-up RFCs, half-correct protocol behavior. Trainerbot is grounded in a curated body of certified IT training content. It's designed to be useful in the moments where being almost right is worse than being wrong.

No query caps. No paywalled answers. No subscription required. Install the app and start asking.
