Scholé

What Scholé does

Scholé is an AI-native adaptive learning platform that delivers personalized, role-based AI training to enterprise employees. The platform is built on a multi-agent pedagogical engine — featuring the Olé AI tutor, the Sam HR partner assistant, and learning personas Zeteo and Atlas — that constructs personalized lessons adapted in real time to each learner's role, tools (Notion, Excel, PowerPoint, Slack), skill level, and pace. The technology is grounded in 10+ years of AI-for-education research conducted by the founders at EPFL's Machine Learning for Education Lab and UC Berkeley, with more than 40 peer-reviewed papers on personalized learning, LLMs, and knowledge tracing underpinning the system.

The product is offered in three tiers: a free tier (2 personalized lessons), an individual Pro plan ($199/year launch pricing, $999/year regular) with unlimited lessons and 100+ expert-curated AI and data science courses co-developed with Harvard, Berkeley, UCSD, UW, and EPFL, and a Teams plan ($5,800/year for up to 8 seats, $725 per additional seat) with admin dashboards, company document RAG, an AI Coach based on the company's knowledge base, scenario-based learning, and EU AI Act Article 4 compliance certification. The company serves enterprise HR and L&D teams seeking to close the AI adoption gap, individual professionals upskilling for AI-relevant roles, and academic partners such as Harvard Data Science Initiative.

Scholé is a spin-off of EPFL and UC Berkeley, headquartered in Lausanne with a US headquarters in San Francisco. It raised a $3M seed round in January 2026 led by ACE Ventures, has won the Learning Engineering Tools Competition in the 'Adaptive and Competitive Workforce' category, was recognized by Forbes as the #1 way to learn AI agents in 2026, and debuted at #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. Named customers include Bank of America, NASA, Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, and Decathlon Switzerland, with 3,600+ monthly active learners across 20+ countries.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Workramp: Modern enterprise LMS / training platform with AI features for customer and employee education. Comparable in targeting fast-growing companies' L&D needs but with a broader training scope.
• LearnDash: WordPress-based LMS with AI-assisted course building. Less directly competitive with Scholé's adaptive AI tutor, but overlaps in delivering structured learning experiences to organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Workday Learning: Enterprise learning module inside the Workday HCM suite. Competes for the same HR/L&D budget but as a broader platform play rather than a specialized AI-tutoring solution.
• Docebo: Established enterprise LMS with AI features (Docebo AI) for personalization and content authoring. Overlaps with Scholé's enterprise buyers but is a broader learning management suite.
• Degreed: Enterprise learning experience platform with skill analytics, content aggregation, and AI-driven personalization. Targets the same HR & L&D segment with a wider content-aggregation model.
• EdCast by Cornerstone: Enterprise knowledge and learning platform within Cornerstone's broader talent management suite. Competes for the same L&D budget with content aggregation, skill graphs, and personalization.

Direct peers

• Coursera: Scholé explicitly compares itself against Coursera on its homepage. Both deliver structured online courses to enterprise and individual learners, though Coursera's catalog is broader and university-partnered while Scholé focuses on AI-fluency adaptive tutoring.
• 360Learning: Collaborative learning platform for enterprise L&D, with AI-assisted course authoring. Comparable mid-market enterprise buyer and focus on measurable upskilling outcomes.
• Sana Labs: AI-native enterprise learning platform with adaptive content, RAG over company knowledge, and an HR/admin dashboard. Highly comparable product surface (RAG, admin dashboard, EU-grade compliance focus) targeting the same HR & L&D buyer.
• LinkedIn Learning: Named by Scholé as a direct comparison. LinkedIn Learning is a major enterprise-skills video library; Scholé competes on personalization and AI-tutor interaction rather than catalog breadth.
