 – June 6, 2024 – We Are Learning today announced that it has been selected as the winner of the “Course Authoring Solution of the Year” award in the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by 

, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

We Are is an affordable SaaS model powered by AI that enables companies to create engaging high-end learning content like interactive stories, 3D simulations, 3D animations, and visuals for their Learning Management System (LMS) without any external consultants.

The breakthrough tool empowers content creation that is rich, interactive, and impactful. With We Are, anyone can author high-quality learning content in minutes with no need to hire experts such as scriptwriters, animators, voice-over actors, or game developers. These tasks are instead supported by Aico - the Artificial intelligence-powered helper. Creators have the choice to utilize Aico to write dialogue scripts, create voices for their avatars, and auto-translate to any language.

We Are requires no specialized skills in areas such as game design, programming, or 3D modeling, allowing anyone to develop immersive learning content with the easy-to-use tool. We Are is a Power-Plug-in for any LMS or e-learning platform, giving total control over how that learning is distributed and measured.

“We Are allows anyone to create 3D learning content like interactive stories, simulations, and animations in minutes. Engagement is key to learning, and attention-grabbing content is vital for communication. However, high-end production is expensive, time-consuming, and requires expert competence,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, of EdTech Breakthrough. “We Are is an invitation for anyone to create content that truly engages in just a few minutes, whether it's producing a 3D animated video for social media or an interactive learning game. Creating amazing interactive stories and course authoring has never been easier.”

2026 Top 20 AI Content Creation and Authoring Tools Company

 one of the most trusted names in corporate learning and development.

Every year, Training Industry publishes its Top 20 lists to highlight standout providers in the L&D market. These lists help learning leaders find trusted partners. Being included in the AI Content Creation and Authoring Tools list means we are among great peers.

Selections were not given just for participating. Training Industry evaluated each provider on the scope, quality, and depth of their AI authoring capabilities, as well as market presence, brand visibility, innovation, client portfolio, customer relationships, and overall business performance and growth. We are especially proud to have made the list in all these areas.

At We Are Learning, we transform training content into interactive, story-driven experiences led by 3D animated characters. This approach creates learning that people want to complete. 

Creators use our authoring tool to build Stories, map out scenes, quizzes, and branching moments, while our AI Script Assistant helps turn rough ideas into polished scripts. Learners then experience these Stories in the Player, featuring animated presenters, lip-sync, and real interaction.

Our approach is based on a simple belief: the best learning happens when human creativity and AI work together, supported by learning theory. This recognition shows that our approach is working.

"I'm incredibly proud of our team and everything we've built together. From the beginning, we've believed AI should empower learning designers, not replace them, making it easier to create immersive learning experiences that have a lasting impact.

This recognition belongs to our team and our customers, who inspire us every day to rethink what's possible in learning. We're excited for what's next."

Training Industry's analysts noted that tools like ours use generative AI, natural language processing, and automation to help teams create high-quality, engaging content quickly and consistently at scale. Solving this challenge has always been our goal.

Founded in Norway in 2023 by Rolf Risnes and Lars-Petter W.Kjos, We Are Learning builds the learning design tool that helps you create immersive, emotionally engaging training. 

Grounded in learning theory and 25+ years of EdTech expertise, We Are pairs human creativity with AI so you can build scenario-based experiences with relatable characters. The result is training that boosts knowledge retention, drives real behavior change, and delivers visible business results.

Founded in 2005 by Doug Harward and led today by CEO Ken Taylor, Training Industry, Inc. has grown over two decades into the most comprehensive source of information on corporate learning. It serves a community of more than 250,000 L&D professionals and generates over 10 million industry interactions each year through its website, publications, webinars, events, research reports and newsletters — including its Top 20 lists, which help organizations find the right training partners.
