It provides on-demand guidance to Government of Canada employees studying management topics, drawing on course content to answer questions and support learning. Users are informed that they are interacting with an AI system. No personal information is collected or processed.

What it collects and what happens to it

Data taken in

Operational data
Anonymized data
  • CSPS course content — leadership and management learning materials — serves as the knowledge base from which the AI draws contextual coaching guidance at runtime.
About behaviour
Anonymized data
  • Learner queries and conversational turns submitted during a coaching session. The system processes these to generate contextually relevant responses. The register states no personal information is collected, suggesting queries are not retained or linked to identity.

Processing

Language Models
  • Caisy is a large language model-based conversational AI integrated into the Skillsoft learning platform, used to generate contextual coaching responses grounded in CSPS course content.

What it does

Understanding (Semantic AI)
Human decides
  • The system understands learner queries in natural language, retrieves relevant context from course content, and surfaces guidance — the learner decides how to apply the coaching in their own management practice.
Creating (Generative AI)
Human decides
  • The conversational AI generates coaching responses, explanations, and guidance text in reply to learner prompts, drawing on CSPS course content as its knowledge base.

Outputs

Generated content
Anonymized data
  • Coaching responses, explanations, and guidance generated in natural language in reply to learner queries during leadership module sessions. Output is advisory and does not constitute a binding decision about any individual.

How to read the colours

Can it identify you?

Anonymized data
Data about people with the link to who is broken. Stripped of identifiers, blurred, aggregated, or noised so this system can’t reasonably tie a record back to an individual.
Pseudonymous data
Each person’s data is tied to a token (hash, ID, template) that lets this system recognise the same person across events, but the token itself doesn’t reveal a name. Reidentification is possible with extra information.
Identifiable data
The data either contains a direct identifier (name, address, account name, recognisable face or voice, plate number) or carries a token this system uses to look up legal identity during processing.

Who completes the loop?

Human decides
This mode suggests; a person decides what to do next. The AI is always advisory — a human is in the loop on every decision. Example: a triage tool ranks cases for a clinician who chooses which to see first.
Human executes
This mode decides; a person carries out the result. Example: an optimizer plans the day’s trash-collection routes, and drivers run them.
Autonomous
This mode decides and acts on its own. No person reviews each decision or carries out the resulting action.

Definitions from the DTPR standard. Amber is about your data, violet about who decides. The fuller the shape and the deeper the colour, the more identifying the data or the less a person is involved.
