What Courseau does

Courseau is an AI-native content authoring platform founded in Berlin in 2023 that enables subject matter experts to convert documents, PDFs, and videos into structured, interactive learning courses within minutes, without requiring formal instructional design expertise. The platform ingests multimodal inputs (text, video, image, audio) and outputs editable course artifacts including structure, narrative, assessments, and audio narration; customers such as Hexagon Purus, MyZone, and Ebor Academy Trust report generating 80-90% of a course in a single session. The product is built on proprietary AI models with claimed grounding in learning science, supported by enterprise-grade security (SOC 2, GDPR, EU AI Act compliance) and SAML SSO for identity integration.

In November 2025, Courseau was acquired by Dublin-based learning management system provider LearnUpon, and in March 2026 the technology was rebranded as CreateUpon and launched as 'Create+', an embedded AI authoring feature inside LearnUpon's LMS. The go-to-market combines a product-led self-serve motion (free trial via app.courseau.co) with enterprise demo-driven sales, targeting four primary use cases: learning and professional development, customer education, compliance and risk mitigation, and product and process training. The consolidated authoring-and-delivery positioning is the central commercial proposition, replacing what the company describes as a months-long, expert-dependent content creation workflow with a minutes-long, AI-assisted alternative.
