“What if the right knowledge reached people exactly when they needed it?” In this episode, Maxine Anderson , co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Arist , discusses how her team is redefining corporate learning through AI-driven, push-based training. What started as a text-based experiment at Stanford and Harvard has evolved into an enterprise solution trusted by companies like HP and Google to deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. Maxine shares how Arist scaled from startup experiments to enterprise clients, the lessons learned in product-market fit, and how simplicity became their biggest differentiator in a crowded e-learning space.
