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.
