OpenSesame expands ai-powered curation to help L&D teams turn complex learning needs into action faster. AI-powered capabilities address organizational learning requirements in today's dynamic workforce. AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - OpenSesame, the leader in curated enterprise elearning and workforce development solutions, today announced multi-topic capability for its AI-powered Curation Assistant, cutting a typical five-topic catalog search time from more than an hour to just minutes. Now, learning leaders can refine individual topic groups conversationally, filter recommendations by language, duration, audience or proficiency level and add or remove courses without starting over, making it faster to curate training across multiple skills and requirements in one conversation. Learning leaders are increasingly tasked with turning complex business priorities into learning that builds the right workforce capabilities, but those needs rarely fit neatly into a single topic. Developing first-time managers, for example, typically requires leadership, communication, and performance management training, potentially for different experience levels or languages. Instead of searching for and organizing each need separately, learning leaders can bring the full request to Curation Assistant at once, making it easier to navigate OpenSesame's global catalog of more than 68,000 courses and surface relevant content based on their specific needs. The new capability was shaped by the way customers were already using OpenSesame's Curation Assistant. Approximately 30% of Curation Assistant chats referenced more than one topic, signaling that teams were bringing more complex learning needs to a tool previously designed around individual subjects. "Business needs don't arrive one skill at a time, and the technology learning leaders rely on shouldn't force them to work that way," said Josh Blank, president and chief product officer at OpenSesame. "The real opportunity for AI is to take on the repetitive work that slows people down while keeping human expertise and judgment at the center. By making it easier to find and organize content across a more complex set of needs, we're giving leaders more time to focus on the decisions that ultimately build workforce capability and drive business impact." The latest evolution of Curation Assistant reflects OpenSesame's broader approach to applying AI where it can reduce friction for learning leaders and help them get even more value from the breadth of its global learning catalog. Built directly into the OpenSesame Marketplace, Curation Assistant recommends content from OpenSesame's catalog based on the needs and criteria provided, helping L&D teams handle increasingly sophisticated curation needs independently. For initiatives requiring deeper strategic or instructional expertise, customers can continue to draw on OpenSesame's human curation specialists. Multi-topic support for Curation Assistant is available globally to OpenSesame Marketplace customers. To learn more about OpenSesame and request a demo, visit www.opensesame.com.

OpenSesame expands trusted learning content in AI strategy, workplace safety and human skills. AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 18, 2026 - OpenSesame, the leader in curated enterprise e-learning and workforce development solutions, today announced enhancements to equip organizations for the era of AI-driven change. The company signed partnerships with MIT Sloan Management Review and Second City Works, expanding access to globally recognized training that enables organizations to build future-ready workforces. As AI continues to reshape jobs, workflows and business operations, organizations are rethinking how they develop talent. The new partnerships underscore OpenSesame's continued evolution from a learning content marketplace to an AI-powered learning platform, as learning leaders increasingly need trusted content that can be tailored for every employee while keeping pace with rapidly changing business priorities. In response to this growing demand, OpenSesame has sharpened its strategic focus on equipping organizations with the tools and content needed to thrive in an AI-driven world and is redefining what personalized learning looks like at scale. It has grown its learning library to more than 68,000 courses, including over 2,000 AI-related courses added in the past year alone. Its market-leading innovations set a new bar for how organizations build skills: more than 20% of the courses can be customized by customers, human- and AI-curated course lists adapt to individual needs, and AI-powered coaching lets workers practice new skills in real time. "AI is changing work faster than organizations can rewrite job descriptions," said Don Spear, CEO of OpenSesame. "We're seeing growing demand for learning that helps employees navigate technological change, strengthen leadership capabilities and build the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving AI-driven workplace. Each worker is on a unique learning journey, and our role is to help them develop those skills through trusted expert content that is curated and tailored for their individual journey." Through these partnerships, OpenSesame is deepening its learning library in key areas as workforce needs change: * AI leadership and strategy: As AI reshapes business strategy and leadership expectations, OpenSesame has added 65 courses from MIT Sloan Management Review covering leadership, business strategy, workplace culture and technology, with topics ranging from AI and digital transformation to future leadership. Drawing on research and insights from leading scholars and management thinkers, the content provides practical frameworks to help leaders and employees understand how technology is reshaping work and how organizations can adapt successfully. * Human skills and collaboration: As AI transforms how work gets done, many organizations are also increasing investment in the human skills that remain essential for effective teams and strong workplace cultures. OpenSesame added 150 courses from Second City Works, the professional development arm of the renowned Second City comedy theater. Covering topics such as ethics, compliance and workplace effectiveness, the short-form content uses humor and storytelling to increase engagement and knowledge retention while helping employees strengthen communication, collaboration and decision-making skills. In addition, OpenSesame continues to extend its leadership in workplace safety and compliance training. Through a new partnership with OSHA 10 Construction by Vector Solutions, OpenSesame is expanding access to industry-recognized safety training designed to help employers reduce risk, support workforce readiness and maintain compliance in evolving work environments. Together, these additions reflect how organizational learning priorities are evolving. As jobs, skills and business needs continue to change, employers are investing in a broader mix of capabilities, combining AI and digital transformation knowledge with leadership, communication, safety and compliance expertise.
