AI Accelerates Corporate Learning - SkillDuck Expands Its AI Course Creator

New features such as AI avatar videos and interactive video elements enhance the automated creation of corporate training.

Regensburg, March 5, 2026 - Companies invest billions in training and development while still facing a growing skills gap. According to studies, 87% of companies worldwide already expect or will soon face skill shortages within their workforce. At the same time, the creation of training content is increasingly becoming a bottleneck as knowledge needs to be updated more rapidly.

German learning solutions provider i40 - the future skills company aims to address this challenge with its AI course creator SkillDuck. The company has expanded its AI tool for the automatic creation of complete e-learning programs. New features include automatically generated avatar explainer videos, interactive video elements, and enhanced AI-powered content generation.

From just a few inputs-such as a topic, presentations, or company documents-the AI course generator SkillDuck can create complete online training programs within minutes.

"Companies need to build skills faster than ever before," says Dr. Philipp V. Ramin, CEO of i40 - the future skills company. "With SkillDuck, complete training programs can be created in minutes instead of going through complex production processes that typically take several weeks. This means training can be implemented in real time alongside changing technologies and processes while conserving resources."

The economic scale of corporate learning is significant: companies invest an average of around USD 874 per employee per year in training. At the same time, developing one hour of e-learning content often requires between 73 and 154 hours of work. As training needs continue to grow, this traditional production model is increasingly reaching its limits.

SkillDuck uses artificial intelligence to automate the entire e-learning creation process. From existing materials, the course generator produces complete training programs including learning modules, quizzes, visualizations, and multimedia content.

New features include:

AI Avatar Explainer Videos:
Digital avatars present content with lip-synchronized speech.

Interactive Video Elements:
Complex topics can be conveyed through interactive video sequences.

Enhanced AI Content Generation:
Presentations such as PowerPoint files can now be automatically transformed into structured learning modules, in addition to other document formats.

Demand for scalable learning solutions is growing rapidly. More than 80% of companies already see digital learning as a core component of their training strategy. At the same time, technological developments are changing workforce requirements. According to the World Economic Forum, around 39% of job-related skills will change within five years.

AI-based course generators are expected to help companies create learning content faster, update it more frequently, and deliver it globally without increasing costs.

SkillDuck is developed in Germany, hosted in Europe, and fully compliant with the GDPR.
