What happened
Oboe, an AI-powered learning platform, secured $16 million in funding, enabling it to offer unlimited course generation without charge. The platform now creates custom courses from prompts using a multi-agent AI system, delivering content in formats including articles, podcasts, quizzes, interactive games, video lectures, infographics, and audio lectures. It sources real images from the internet and employs auditing agents for content accuracy. Users can access a public course library and receive follow-up course recommendations.
Why it matters
The provision of unlimited, free course generation increases the oversight burden on learning and development teams to validate content quality and relevance, particularly with user-generated public library content. Sourcing real images from the internet, despite auditing agents, raises due diligence requirements for procurement and compliance regarding intellectual property rights and image licensing. This introduces a potential accountability gap for content provenance and usage within the organisation.
