Sonara · Learning infrastructure

Learning infrastructure for humans.

Sonara turns your organization's documents, decks and experts into courses taught by a live Super Intelligence (SI) Instructor. Then it keeps the proof: a record of who learned what, and a tamper-evident log of every course change.

How it works

  • Bring your knowledge

    Documents, decks, video files, YouTube, GitHub repositories, optional web research, legacy SCORM and cmi5 packages, or an interview with your expert.

  • Generate

    An outline your experts review, then narrated lessons, knowledge checks and flashcards, plus role-plays and procedure simulations a creator confirms.

  • Learn by voice and visuals

    Watch narrated visual lessons, read, or listen hands-free, with a live voice instructor.

  • Prove

    Checks, certificates and a record of who learned what, with a tamper-evident log of every course change.

  • Connect

    Single sign-on, two-factor and SCIM for your people, and LTI 1.3, SCORM, cmi5 and xAPI for your LMS.

  • Improve

    Questions and feedback become approved, versioned course updates.

Product

  • Voice instructor

    Aura is Sonara's real-time voice instructor. Learners talk, interrupt and ask to be quizzed, and answers come from your organization's own material.

  • Watch, read or listen

    Watch a narrated, captioned lesson, read it, or listen hands-free, then practise with knowledge checks, role-play conversations and procedure simulations.

  • Course creation

    Build a reviewed course from documents, decks, video files, YouTube, GitHub repositories, optional web research, an expert interview, or a topic.

  • Legacy course modernization

    Import SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and cmi5 packages, get a modernization report on gaps and outdated content, and rebuild them as voice-taught courses.

  • Onboarding, reminders and recertification

    Role-based onboarding journeys with a spoken welcome, assignments with due dates, automatic reminders and escalation, and recertification cycles.

  • Proof and audit evidence

    A tamper-evident change log for every course, evidence packs an auditor can verify offline, versioned courses, completion records and certificates.

  • LMS integration (LTI 1.3, SCORM, cmi5, xAPI)

    Launch Sonara courses from your LMS with LTI 1.3 or SCORM and cmi5 packages, send scores back to the gradebook, and send xAPI statements to your learning record store.

  • Admin and security

    Single sign-on with OIDC or SAML 2.0, two-factor sign-in, SCIM provisioning, CSV roster import, roles, a security audit log, CAC/PIV and data residency.

Solutions

  • Employee onboarding

    Onboard new hires with role-based journeys, a spoken welcome from a voice instructor, due dates, reminders and a record of what each person completed.

  • Compliance training

    Compliance training that keeps pace with your policies, with recertification cycles, completion records and a tamper-evident change log for every course.

  • Government and regulated industries

    Training for government and regulated teams: dedicated deployments, CAC/PIV, single sign-on and two-factor, AWS-only processing, audit logs and tamper-evident records.

  • Customer and partner education

    Teach customers and partners with branded courses, a voice instructor that answers from your documentation, and LTI 1.3 delivery into their LMS.

Questions, answered

What can we turn into a course?
PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, Markdown and text files, uploaded MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM video, up to five YouTube videos and up to three public GitHub repositories. You can turn on web research with your own scope and preferred sites, import SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and cmi5 packages to modernize, have the instructor interview one of your experts when nothing is written down yet, or start from a topic alone. Course creation
Is the instructor just a chatbot?
No. Aura is voice-first and teaches: it knows which course, lesson and check a learner is on, plays lessons, explains, gives examples and quizzes. Answers come from your workspace's own material. Learners who would rather type can.
Do learners have to use voice?
No. Every lesson can be watched as a narrated visual lesson, read, or played hands-free like an audiobook. Learners switch whenever they like, and can talk to the instructor or type a question at any point.
How do new hires get started?
Administrators set up onboarding journeys by team and role. A new person is welcomed by the instructor, by voice, and gets a first-week plan built for their team.
Who decides what changes in a course?
Your people. Learner questions and feedback become suggestions, and questions the instructor couldn't answer are captured as knowledge gaps. A course creator or administrator approves every change before it reaches learners, and each approved change becomes a new version in a tamper-evident change log.
How do we show an auditor who was trained?
Completion records, check results and certificates are kept per person and per course. For each course you can download an evidence pack of its change history that an auditor can verify offline.
Can learners practise a procedure, not just read about it?
Yes. A procedure simulation takes the ordered steps from your SOP, each one quoting the source, and a course creator confirms every step before learners see it. Learners do each step on a picture or labelled schematic of the equipment or screen: click the right control, drag an item to the right place, choose the right setting, or put actions in order. The server grades each step on the first try, a mistake on a step marked safety-critical fails the run, and every attempt is recorded with per-step results. Scenes are 2D, not 3D.
Does it work with our LMS?
Yes, three ways. Sonara is an LTI 1.3 tool: launch Sonara courses from Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard or D2L, add them with Deep Linking, and send completion back to the gradebook (Assignment and Grade Services). For any other LMS, export a course as a SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or cmi5 package: the package opens the live course, so edits reach learners without re-uploading, and completion and score are reported back. And Sonara can send xAPI statements to your learning record store. Existing SCORM and cmi5 packages can be imported and modernized. LMS integration
How do people sign in?
With your identity provider through single sign-on (OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0), which a workspace can make required, or with email and password plus optional two-factor codes from an authenticator app. Administrators can require two-factor, provision people through SCIM 2.0 or import a CSV roster. CAC and PIV smart-card sign-in is available on dedicated deployments. Admin and security
Where is our data processed?
Sonara is hosted in the cloud today, and private deployments in your own environment are available on request. Dedicated deployments can keep all processing inside AWS.
How does Sonara apply to SI agents?
This is in development. Sonara is designed so that one competency record covers people and SI agents: an agent would earn authority to act only after it can show, from that record, that it knows the governing material, just as a person does. The record for people is available today.
Can it carry our brand?
Yes. Each workspace has its own address, logo, colors, type and corner style, plus its own instructor name, personality, voice and look.
What does it cost?
You can start with a free trial workspace for up to 25 people and 10 courses, with no payment details. The Team, Enterprise and Government plans are quoted to your organization: talk to us and we will size it to how many people you train, how much they use voice, and how you deploy. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. See plans and pricing
