Curating knowledge

Our story: Powering knowledge transfer in the workplace

A behind-the-scenes look at why we believe workplace knowledge should be easy to share—not buried in folders, lost in wikis, or locked behind clunky systems. We built Coassemble to break down the barriers that stop great ideas from spreading, so anyone—no matter their role or resources—can turn what they know into training that actually makes an impact.

What is our mission?

We’re on a mission to help everyone in the workplace transfer their knowledge without barriers. How? By seamlessly connecting to your existing knowledge, transforming it into impactful courses, deploying them where they matter most, and sending meaningful data in the tools that drive your business forward. Sounds like a lot, right? Let’s talk about how we got here.

Founded in Australia in 2017 by Jude Novak and Ryan Macpherson, Coassemble started with a simple idea: workplace training shouldn’t be complicated. Businesses needed a better way to share knowledge without the delays and complexity of traditional learning systems. What began as an LMS quickly evolved into a streamlined course builder designed for the modern workplace. Today, Coassemble powers knowledge transfer across companies around the world—whether it’s for compliance, internal processes, ongoing team development, or something else entirely. We do this by making knowledge transfer simple and rapid, helping unlock internal IP and make it ready for employee consumption.

Breaking down barriers to knowledge sharing

We believe knowledge shouldn’t be locked away—it should move freely, fueling growth and innovation in any organization. No matter your L&D resources, you should be able to turn your expertise into impact without obstacles. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to break down barriers to knowledge sharing, empowering anyone to create impactful knowledge with ease.

Let’s paint a picture—you’re managing a growing e-commerce brand, and over the years, you’ve built up an immense repository of training materials, policies, and expertise, ranging from customer service guidelines to logistics. But all this invaluable knowledge is trapped in disorganized documents, lost in outdated systems, and buried deep within your company’s intranet. Now, picture this: Coassemble steps in to capture your dormant content, transforming it into dynamic, engaging courses that are easily accessible and immediately relevant to your team, and help you deploy it to where it matters most. No more hunting through endless files or wrestling with clunky systems—just seamless, on-demand learning that powers your business forward. And, you can even feed that data back into your existing HR system, integrating your learning with the tools that make the most sense for your organization.

Knowledge already exists within your organization—it’s in Google Drive folders, buried in PDFs, scattered across internal wikis, or stored in team documents. Coassemble connects seamlessly to your existing knowledge management systems, transforming static content into dynamic, engaging courses. No more starting from scratch—just pull in what you already have, and let us structure, enhance, and optimize it for easy learning and better knowledge retention. With AI-powered tools, we take your materials and turn them into polished training experiences, ensuring your expertise is not just stored, but shared where it matters most. Rather than sifting through irrelevant content from large LMS catalogs, Coassemble allows you to access and clean up what’s already in-house, making knowledge more accessible, tailored, and useful.

We believe that in order to revolutionize the way knowledge is transferred, course creation should be effortless. Whether it’s onboarding new hires, rolling out policies, or upskilling teams, Coassemble makes it easy to take your existing knowledge and transform it into a course to be shared with your team while providing rich data for existing workplace ecosystems. With an intuitive interface and no steep learning curve, teams can transfer existing knowledge sources into impactful courses in minutes, not weeks. We do this by offering an all-in-one course creation platform that enables organizations to design, share, and track training with ease. You shouldn’t need to be a learning designer to create great training. With years of learning design and course creation experience, and the help of AI, Coassemble takes the guesswork out of knowledge sharing—automatically structuring content, generating interactive elements, and even creating quizzes based on your material. Whether you upload a document or provide a simple prompt, our AI Assistant does the heavy lifting, so you can focus on sharing knowledge and making an impact.

Learning in the flow of work

We believe the modern L&D professional values speed, flexibility, and efficiency in workplace training, and we’ve designed Coassemble with this in mind. Traditional learning systems are often slow, complex, and require dedicated administrators and extra bulky systems, but today’s work teams need a tool that keeps up with the pace of business. Coassemble streamlines course creation with an intuitive interface, AI-powered content generation, and seamless integrations, allowing professionals to build and deploy training in minutes—not weeks.

We believe training should happen where work happens—not in a separate system that employees have to remember to visit. That’s why Coassemble integrates seamlessly with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and the tools your team already uses every day, ensuring knowledge flows effortlessly within your existing ecosystem. Need to roll out a quick compliance update? Send it directly as a Slack message, where employees can complete it immediately. Launching a new product and need sales enablement training? Drop the course into a Microsoft Teams channel so your team can access it alongside their daily workflows. Got an LMS already? No worries—courses created with Coassemble can be easily added via SCORM, making it simple to incorporate training into your existing systems. Whether your team is in a hybrid setup, fully remote, or distributed across time zones, Coassemble ensures learning happens where it’s most effective—right within the flow of work.

Driving results

But knowledge sharing isn’t just about delivering content—we believe it’s about understanding its impact. With Coassemble, you can track engagement and completion data and feed it directly into your existing HR and people management systems like HiBob, Workday, or somewhere else entirely. Automatically update employee learning records, trigger follow-ups for those who need a nudge, and generate insights that help you measure the effectiveness of your knowledge-sharing initiatives. Whether it’s tracking compliance completions, measuring employee development, or identifying skill gaps, Coassemble ensures your learning data doesn’t live in a silo—it flows seamlessly into the tools you rely on to manage and develop your team.

We’re on a mission to unlock knowledge in every workplace, empowering anyone to share their expertise without limits. And we won’t stop until sharing knowledge is as effortless as having a conversation—where anyone, no matter their role or resources, can turn what they know into valuable resources that truly make an impact.
