What Ethena is
Ethena is a paid platform of AI compliance agents covering employee training, policies, disclosures, and hotline workflows. Its Training Agent uses disclosure, case, and policy information to tailor training to employee risks. The AI Training Builder turns PDFs, slide decks, or policies into course modules with slides, images, and knowledge checks. Generated changes stay in draft form until compliance staff approve them, and the system logs prompts, edits, reviewer decisions, assignments, and completions with timestamps. An anonymous hotline routes employee concerns into tracked case management. Courses can be delivered through Ethena’s LMS or as SCORM, with SCORM, AICC, and xAPI file support listed. Training is offered in 100+ languages in the plan comparison; Standard names English, Spanish, and French. Ethena states SOC 2 Type II certification. Standard has self-serve support, while Premium adds a Customer Success Manager. Plans include $20 per learner annually for harassment and workplace violence prevention and $50 per learner annually for the full catalog.
