Specialized Services

What You Can Build with Cluelabs Custom

Whether you need a dedicated engineer to solve a specific authoring challenge or a full-scale development partner to produce an enterprise curriculum, our team delivers production-ready solutions.

Custom Software and Authoring Extensions

  • Unique interactive mechanics: Build custom assessment engines, interactive calculators, specialized timers, and visual gauges that exceed native authoring capabilities.
  • Standalone learning applications: Develop web-based performance support tools, reference calculators, and job aids designed for mobile and desktop access.
  • Custom learning tools: Create tailored add-ons and interactive components engineered specifically for your organization's authoring templates.

Bespoke Courseware Production

  • End-to-end development: Turn raw SME notes, PowerPoint decks, or Word documents into engaging courses in Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, or Lectora.
  • Course modernization and refactoring: Upgrade legacy Flash or outdated SCORM modules into responsive, accessible HTML5 learning packages.
  • Template and design system creation: Build standardized, accessible course templates with custom layouts, color palettes, and pre-built interactive components.

Enterprise API and Systems Integration

  • Two-way enterprise data flows: Connect learning courses to internal SQL databases, Google Cloud, AWS, or corporate intranets.
  • CRM and HRIS connectivity: Sync training completion data and learner inputs with platforms like Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and SAP.
  • Custom xAPI and LRS architectures: Design and deploy specialized Experience API statement profiles and analytics dashboards for non-standard learning activities.

Advanced Simulations and Serious Games

  • Complex branching logic: Engineer multi-path decision trees where learner actions accumulate realistic consequences across consecutive scenarios.
  • Software simulations: Build high-fidelity software replicas with interactive guided walkthroughs and realistic sandbox practice modes.
  • Gamified learning mechanics: Implement point economies, dynamic leaderboards, badge engines, and interactive challenge levels that sustain engagement.

Conversational AI and Specialized Practice

  • Proprietary role-play agents: Develop conversational training bots trained on your organization's specific compliance guidelines, sales scripts, or medical protocols.
  • Speech-to-text and voice interfaces: Integrate custom voice recognition and real-time speech evaluation into interactive learning modules.
  • Rubric-based automated feedback: Program objective evaluation logic that assesses learner responses against company communication standards.

On-Demand Developer Assistance

  • Trigger and JavaScript debugging: Rapidly fix malfunctioning triggers, variables, and custom scripts in Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate.
  • LMS and SCORM troubleshooting: Resolve tracking anomalies, bookmarking errors, and completion reporting failures across any LMS platform.
  • Performance optimization: Compress media, streamline timeline architecture, and optimize loading speeds for bandwidth-constrained workforces.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How Are Project Quotes Determined?

Every project receives a transparent, guaranteed fixed-price quote based on your specific requirements. You know the exact cost and turnaround timeframe before work begins. We do not use unpredictable hourly billing models that lead to surprise invoices.

Do You Work with Our Existing Source Files?

Yes. We regularly work with client-supplied Articulate Storyline (.story) files, Adobe Captivate (.cptx) projects, Rise modules, Figma design files, or raw instructional source documents.

Who Owns the Intellectual Property and Source Code?

You do. You retain 100% complete commercial ownership of all custom code, graphic assets, courseware files, and documentation created during your project. We deliver all open source files upon project completion.

Can I Hire a Developer for a Small Troubleshooting Task?

Yes. Our services range from single-issue troubleshooting (such as fixing a broken JavaScript trigger or resolving an LMS reporting error) to multi-course enterprise production programs.

What if We Need Revisions After Delivery?

All fixed-price quotes include a structured review and revision cycle. We address your feedback promptly to ensure the final deliverable satisfies your technical and instructional criteria.

How Do Custom Projects Work with Cluelabs Platform Tools?

Our engineers can directly configure, extend, or integrate any Cluelabs cloud tool—such as Data Cloud, Google Sheets Sync, PDF Maker, or User Flow Analytics—directly into your custom course build.
