We use AI-guided voice conversations to extract what your most experienced people know — the expertise that's never been written down — and turn it into navigable, teachable knowledge your organization keeps forever.
The Problem
The expertise that keeps your operations running lives in the heads of experienced people. When they leave, it leaves with them. Current tools can't solve this — because they only manage knowledge that's already been written down.
Your most experienced people carry knowledge they can't easily articulate. How they make decisions, handle edge cases, read situations — none of it is in a document. When they retire, it's gone.
Your people pass compliance tests but can't apply what they learned. Recognising the right answer on a quiz is not the same as being able to reason through a novel situation independently.
Current AI knowledge tools make existing documents easier to find. But the most critical expertise was never documented in the first place. Better search doesn't solve the problem of knowledge that doesn't exist on paper.
How It Works
We don't ask your experts to write documentation. We have structured AI-guided conversations with them — voice-first, natural, probing — that surface and structure what they actually know.
Our AI-assisted system sits with your subject matter experts and conducts structured voice conversations — probing their knowledge, asking them to explain and derive, surfacing connections they take for granted.
The extracted knowledge is structured into navigable, interconnected maps — not slide decks or manuals. Learners can enter from any point and explore how concepts connect and build on each other.
Each learner approaches the material differently. Our system detects whether someone thinks sequentially or contextually, narrowly or broadly, and adjusts the learning path accordingly.
Assessment is through conversation, not testing. Can the learner explain the knowledge, derive it from principles, teach it to someone else? That is understanding. Everything else is recall.
Why CoExplorer
Most AI knowledge platforms index what you've already written down. We extract the knowledge that's never been documented — and structure it so people can actually learn from it.
"We don't just store information. We build understanding. Our learners can explain, derive, and teach what they've learned — not just recall it."
Where It Applies
Our approach works wherever expert knowledge needs to survive the departure of the people who hold it. These sectors face the most acute need.
Capture clinical reasoning before experienced physicians retire
Preserve regulatory expertise and risk assessment judgment
Retain systems knowledge through technical leadership transitions
Build leadership capability and strategic thinking at depth
Structure complex scientific knowledge for genuine understanding
Why It Works
This is not another AI chatbot with a learning label. CoExplorer implements a specific, experimentally validated theory of how genuine understanding forms through dialogue — developed and refined over thirty years of peer-reviewed research.
The theory explains precisely how knowledge is constructed through conversation, how understanding differs from recall, and how to detect whether someone has genuinely learned something or merely memorized it. The technology to implement it at scale — voice-based conversational AI, graph databases, adaptive interfaces — has only recently become possible.
The result is a system grounded in how people actually learn, not how software companies assume they learn.

CoExplorer's technology is deployed in live educational practice through the College of Exploration — a non-profit bringing together diverse minds to explore ocean science literacy since 1991.
Our ocean literacy domain demonstrates the full methodology: expert knowledge extracted through structured dialogue, mapped into navigable knowledge architectures, and made learnable through adaptive conversation. It serves as both educational program and technology reference case.
