CodeSignal launches a learning platform with an AI-powered guide

09 February 2024

Technical assessment company CodeSignal, is launching a learning platform called CodeSignal Learn. The new platform, aimed at audiences wanting to learn technical subjects, also has an AI-powered bot called Cosmo, which helps users with learning.

The company said that there are hundreds of courses available at launch ranging from introduction to programming, tutorials on specific languages, data analytics and machine learning. Eventually, CodeSignal wants to expand into some non-technical areas — such as management skills — that accelerate career paths.

CodeSignal CEO Tigran Sloyan told TechCrunch over a call that the co-founders started the company with a mission to discover skilled workers and develop the skills that will shape the future. Sloyan said that the startup wanted to do it all and make an educational product as well.

“We quickly realized that focus is everything. So we thought we had to fix assessments first as they are fundamental for both hiring and development,” he said. With the new platform, the company is targeting the idea of skill development for people again.

We felt that until we figured out a great one-on-one tutoring product we couldn’t have a revolutionary educational product. But with the rise in AI-based tech, we felt this is the right moment,” Sloyan said.

While the company thinks that the learning platform can upskill a wide audience, CodeSignal thought about its customers and how it could work on closing the skill gap for their workers or folks they want to hire.
