The Learning Platform

Built around AI. Not bolted on.

Every module has Hope AI tutoring built in — modules on the left, slide content in the center, Hope on the right. Ask questions anytime. She explains images. She tutors you on wrong quiz answers. She talks back and forth. No other school has this.

Hope grades your answers, tutors you on every miss, and guides you through the decision. Combined with traditional quizzes and true/false — comprehension learning and knowledge testing, together.

Traditional quizzes + true/false + comprehension exercises + AI tutoring on every wrong answer. That is how IRI builds real understanding — not memorization.

Hope Command Center

Your AI field companion. Talk to her. She does the paperwork.

Hope is a Field Command Center for restoration across every discipline. Pick a project, open a jobsite form, and just tell her what’s happening — “add a dehu to the living room,” “add a HEPA air scrubber to the bedroom.” She fills the form as you talk, files every document as a PDF, and gets the customer’s signature. On your phone, on the job, in 12 languages.

Command Center

🔍 Click to zoom

Every form. One place.

Create a project and open any jobsite form — daily logger, sign-in sheet, safety form, equipment log, pack-out, work authorization, content disposal. Your company info auto-fills from your account.

Dictation

🔍 Click to zoom

Say it. She writes it.

Tap the mic and just talk — rooms, readings, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, crew count, claim details. Hope fills the fields as you speak and drops every entry in the filing log. No typing, no menus, no missed paperwork.

Filing Log

🔍 Click to zoom

Every word, filed.

Each thing you say lands as a filed, verified line — address, claim number, temperature, equipment, customer name. Nothing slips through, and every entry is there when the adjuster asks.

Mobile

🔍 Click to zoom

On the job. Offline.

Talk-first on your phone, quick-add chips for dehu, fan, and scrubber, a filed-form counter, and Save & finish. Voice in, paper out — and it all still works when you’re offline on the job.
