For your employees
Team learning
Start with your materials. Review the course, assign it to your team, and follow their progress.
Team learning & development
Less course writing
A tool rollout or a role change often leaves HR and L&D building another course from scratch. The planned workflow starts with the skills you need and the knowledge you already have. Octo drafts the teaching; your internal team curates it for the people who need it.
- Define learning goals for a role, a function, or the whole team.
- Curate courses and learning paths for a role, skill, or development goal.
- Review and edit prepared lessons before you assign them.
Review before you assign
When a customer asks for a refund
Approve a refund requested within 14 days of purchase. Escalate requests outside that window.
Your correction
Our refund window is 30 days. Update the lesson.
Try making a correction to the sample lesson.
Internal knowledge sharing
Your way of working
The answer may be in a document, but understanding it still takes someone’s time. Give people a way to learn your processes, standards, and ways of working through relevant examples and follow-up questions, using the knowledge available to them.
- Bring together playbooks, process documents, and reference material.
- Let employees request a course for an immediate goal, using knowledge they can access.
- Let people ask follow-up questions without repeating the same session with an expert.

HR training & onboarding
Employee onboarding
New hires need to know what matters first, how your company works, and where their role fits. Build a shared foundation from your handbook and policies, then tailor the next steps to their experience and responsibilities.
- Create a shared foundation for everyone joining the company.
- Add learning relevant to each role and level of experience.
- Use your handbook, policies, and team documents as source material.

Project onboarding
Project handovers
Every project arrival can mean another walkthrough for the same senior people. Turn project documents, decisions, and responsibilities into a focused learning path so newcomers can build context before asking the team for help.
- Capture the project knowledge that usually lives with a few people.
- Shape onboarding around a member’s role and responsibilities.
- Give newcomers a tutor to ask follow-up questions as they learn.

Track team learning
Progress you can see
Sending a course link does not tell you whether someone has learned from it. The planned admin workspace brings learner profiles, assigned courses, progress, and completion together so you can follow up with the right people.
- See module progress and outstanding assignments in one roster.
- Review learner profiles and learning activity alongside their courses.
- Recognize completion with a certificate anyone can verify.

Proof of completion
Recognize learning with a verifiable Octo certificate. Share a record of the course completed, with the modules and lessons covered, for each person on your team.
From knowledge to learning
- Step 1
Set the context
Add files, PDFs, Markdown, and images. Decide what stays private and what belongs in the shared knowledge base.
- Step 2
Shape the learning
Your internal team curates courses and learning paths for assignment. Learners can also create a personal course from the knowledge available to them.
- Step 3
Teach and follow through
Bring Octo’s individual learning experience into your workspace. Follow learner progress and completion, and see where support is needed.
Your workspace. Your control.
One learning workspace
Bring people, materials, courses, and progress into one workspace on your organization’s Octo subdomain. Manage your organization’s profile, owners, admins, and employees.
Knowledge access
Manage internal material separately from the knowledge you make available to external learners. Support for files, PDFs, Markdown, and images is planned for both knowledge bases.
Course control
Your team reviews courses, curates learning paths, and assigns the right learning to each role. Keep people, materials, and progress organized in one place.
Common questions
Is Octo for Business available today?
The organizational workspace capabilities described here are planned. The previews illustrate the intended experience. In a tailored demo, we’ll explain what is available to try and discuss the scope and timing of a pilot.
Do we have to write every course?
The goal is to let you provide the knowledge and learning outcomes while Octo drafts the teaching. Your internal team curates courses and learning paths for assignment. Learners can also request personal courses using the knowledge they have access to.
What happens to our private knowledge?
The plan separates your organization’s private knowledge base from its shared knowledge base. External learners would build courses from shared material, not your private internal documents. We’ll walk through access requirements with you when planning a pilot.
Who controls the learning?
Your internal team curates courses and learning paths. Employees can also request personal courses from the knowledge available to them. We’ll discuss roles and access requirements when planning your pilot.
Can we track learning?
Learner profiles and progress tracking are part of the planned admin experience, alongside user and course management. The dashboard preview uses sample people and progress, not customer results.
Will we have our own workspace?
An isolated tenant workspace on an organization-specific Octo subdomain is planned, with a workspace profile and separate internal and external user management.
What does it cost?
Pricing and commercial terms will be discussed against your audience, use case, and pilot scope. We’ll agree on scope and terms before a pilot begins.
How do we get started?
Book a tailored demo and tell us who you want to teach, what they need to do, and which materials you already have. We’ll review the planned experience together, then discuss a pilot with clear scope, timing, and success criteria.
See it with your knowledge.
Tell us who needs to learn and what they need to do. We’ll show the planned experience and discuss materials, timing, and a manageable pilot.
Have your use case and approximate learner count in mind. No material upload needed to book.
