The acquisition also builds on Colibri’s existing investments in AI-powered learning tools, including Newt, Becker’s AI-powered study assistant for accounting and finance professionals, and Rubi, Colibri’s AI platform for personalized learning experiences, study support, and intelligent guidance across multiple brands and professions.
Colibri said combining Audirie’s AI simulation technology with its domain expertise and professional education experience will create new ways for professionals to practice skills, improve readiness, and prepare for career situations that require judgment, communication, and confidence.
The companies plan to focus on expanding access to Audirie’s technology across licensing, continuing education, professional development, and workforce training solutions.
