What VRAI Learning does

VRAI Learning is a French B2B company founded in 2023 in Lille that builds immersive VR training experiences and conversational AI avatars for enterprise workforce development. Its portfolio combines three product pillars: Formation VR (3D realistic training scenarios deployable across VR headsets, PC, mobile, tablet, and digital totems), Avatars IA (real-time conversational AI avatars with voice, face, and personality that engage in adaptive, unscripted dialogue), and Avatar Académie (a centralized management platform for creating, piloting, and analyzing avatars and training paths, with native SCORM/xAPI/LTI integration). The proprietary RAG engine and Unity-based avatar rendering underpin the technical stack, with support for 62 languages and emotion-signal detection.

The company targets enterprise buyers across multiple verticals: healthcare (clinical simulation, patient communication), retail (sales advisor training, brand ambassador avatars), industry and manufacturing (safety/HSE, technical gestures), corporate services (soft skills, management), public sector, and education. Pricing is quote-based with custom scoping, and revenue is generated through a mix of subscription recurring licensing (platform and avatar subscriptions), enterprise project-based solution development, and ongoing support. The sales motion is consultative and sales-led, involving demos, pilots, and phased deployment rather than self-service.

Commercial traction is early-stage: the company began field deployments in 2024, created Avatar Académie in 2025, and commercially launched the platform with LMS integration in 2026. Backed by public and regional French partners (Bpifrance, Région Hauts-de-France, Hodefi, Orange 5G Lab, EuraTechnologies), VRAI Learning operates without disclosed external institutional funding and combines a small team (~9-10) with a growing international footprint.

Core offering

VRAI Learning sells a unified enterprise training platform combining immersive VR scenarios and real-time conversational AI avatars for professional skills development. The offering is built on three pillars — Formation VR (custom 3D simulations), Avatars IA (adaptive conversational avatars), and Avatar Académie (centralized management, piloting, and analytics) — and is delivered to enterprise clients across healthcare, industry, retail, public sector, and education with native LMS integration.

Product overview

VRAI Learning offers a unified platform combining three core pillars: Formation VR (immersive virtual reality training), Avatars IA (real-time conversational AI avatars), and Avatar Académie (central management and analytics platform). The portfolio covers multiple sector-specific use-case solutions including retail, HSE safety, healthcare, soft skills, management, sales, onboarding, and industrial training. The platform supports multi-device deployment (VR headset, PC, mobile, tablet, totem) without requiring a headset as a prerequisite. Avatar Académie serves as the unified control layer for creating, piloting, and analyzing all avatar and training deployments, with native LMS integration via SCORM/xAPI/LTI. The company positions itself at the intersection of immersive VR, embodied AI agents, and generative AI for corporate training.
