Scholé AI is the learning platform trusted by Berkeley and Harvard as the best way to upskill enterprise teams on AI fluency. It builds adaptive, role-specific lessons from a company's own tools, documents, and workflows. Spun out of EPFL and UC Berkeley research, launched #1 on Product Hunt, and used by learners at Bank of America, NASA, Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, and Decathlon.
You care most about whether people actually master the skill, and you want a tutor that adapts formats and difficulty per learner rather than a faster way to produce static courses.

Sana uses AI mainly to draft courses and answer questions. Scholé uses AI as a tutor that adapts each lesson step to the learner, and its methods come from published learning-science research.
Olé answers questions grounded in your documents inside lessons, but Scholé is not positioned as a general enterprise search tool.

For company-specific, adaptive training and AI fluency, yes. You care most about whether people actually master the skill, and you want a tutor that adapts formats and difficulty per learner rather than a faster way to produce static courses. Sana Labs remains the better fit for: strong enterprise knowledge search across connected tools; combined lms and assistant in one suite.
Yes. Teams commonly keep Sana Labs for what it does well and use Scholé to create and deliver adaptive, role-specific learning. Scholé results can be linked into an existing system of record.
Scholé offers a free trial with no credit card and self-serve plans listed at schole.ai. Sana Labs pricing depends on contract and seat count, so compare on total cost including content production time, which Scholé removes by generating lessons from your documents.
Scholé AI was founded by Vinitra Swamy (CEO) and Paola Mejia-Domenzain (CTO), both PhD graduates of EPFL's Machine Learning for Education lab. It is an EPFL spin-off built on 40+ peer-reviewed papers, backed by ACE Ventures, The House Fund, and FundF, and partners with Harvard on AI intensives recommended by Forbes.
