What Is a Learning Content Agent?

Think of the Learning Content Agent as a digital teammate trained to create and translate training materials for global teams. Unlike generic AI tools, it understands how learning content works — and how to make it work better.

From onboarding modules to technical training, this multi-agent system handles both content creation and AI-powered translation in one step. It even formats content and delivers it directly to your learning management system ( LMS ).

What Can the Agent Do?

  • 1

    Create structured learning content from presentations, documents, SCORM courses, or any existing materials you have

  • 2

    Translate all assets of SCORM files into multiple languages simultaneously in one workflow (you can choose from 280+ languages)

  • 3

    Apply your glossary and brand voice guidelines automatically

  • 4

    Format content for various learning platforms

  • 5

    Learn from reviewer feedback to improve learning experiences over time

How the Learning Content Agent Works

Preview

The Learning Content Agent combines AI content creation with translation in a single workflow. This joint approach removes bottlenecks from traditional methods where you create content in one language and translate later.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough of Creating with the Agent

  1. Upload any existing materials (documents, presentations — Smartcat support 80+ file types) you want the agent to pull from. Tell the agent who the training is intended for, your desired format, course run time, and what you want your learner to walk away with.

  2. Select your target languages and the agent will create your course description.

  3. The agent will then generate your learning outcomes and allow you to set your course structure.

  4. The agent then creates the learning content in your primary language.

  5. At the same time, it translates the content into all targeted languages you select.

  6. The agent applies your glossary and style guidelines with built-in quality checks.

  7. Reviewers can provide feedback that helps the agent improve.

  8. Export your SCORM course in one multilingual file

This is just one example of the Learning Content Agent’s capabilities. This multi-agent system is flexible and can adapt to your existing workflows. If you only need SCORM translations or only need document translations, this agent can specialize.

How Can the Learning Content Agent Improve Your Workload?

Learning and development teams are under pressure to train more people, in more languages — without more time or budget. The Learning Content Agent is the problem-solving solution for what L&D practitioners face every day. Here are the most common ways L&D teams can use these agents to improve their learning ecosystem :

Employee Onboarding for Multiple Regions

It’s important for new employees to go through training in their native language to get up to speed quickly and accurately. The Learning Content Agent creates onboarding materials that are ready to use in every language from day one. This gives all employees the same quality experience regardless of location or native language.

“To be a truly global company, we need to have online training localized for our people, wherever they are in the world and whatever language they speak. Our workforce deserves comprehensive training to prepare them for speaking with healthcare professionals regarding our medical technology. With Smartcat, we can achieve this goal.”

Compliance and Regulatory Training Updates

When policies or regulations change, training materials need updates in all languages right away. The Learning Content Agent can quickly update specific sections across all language versions while keeping the rest of the content intact.

This is especially valuable for industries with strict compliance requirements.

Skills Development and Technical Training

Technical skills training often contains complex terminology that needs to be translated accurately. The Learning Content Agent applies your approved glossary to ensure technical terms and complex information are consistent and digestible across all languages.

Just-in-Time Learning Materials

Sometimes teams need training materials quickly for unexpected situations. The Learning Content Agent can create short, focused learning modules in multiple languages within hours instead of weeks.

Day in the Life Working With the Learning Content Agent

Here's how a typical workday can look with a Learning Content Agent as your digital teammate:

Start your day by uploading a brief for new product training. The Learning Content agent creates a structured outline in English and simultaneously prepares versions in Spanish, French, and German. You review the outline and make a few adjustments, which are automatically applied to all language versions.

Once you’ve built the outline, the agent expands your work into complete training modules with interactive exercises and assessments. The content already includes the company's approved terminology and follows their instructional design standards. You can check the translations and provide feedback directly in the platform.

With reviews complete, you can finalize the content and export it to your LMS of choice. The entire process, from brief to a published training in four languages, is completed in a single day instead of weeks of back and forth.

Learning Content Agent Onboarding Tips

Setting up a Learning Content Agent for your training needs follows a straightforward process. These steps help ensure a seamless integration for the agent to understand your requirements and produce high-quality content from the start.

Choose Your Agent and Their Skills

Select your agent out of our library of pre-built agents, in this case, the Learning Content Agent. Once you’ve selected the agent, choose what skills you want the agent to accomplish.

You can also customize your agents for specific projects. Our Agent Builder is a no-code interface that lets you build your own AI agents to automate complex or custom content workflows — trained on your brand, rules, and review process.

Onboard Your Agent

Before working with the agent, gather examples of your existing training materials. These samples help the agent understand your style, structure, and approach to learning. Include examples that represent your best work—the content you want the agent to model.

Also identify your most frequently used terms and concepts. These will form your glossary, which helps the agent maintain consistency across all content it creates.

Content Preparation Checklist:

  • Sample training modules that reflect your preferred style

  • Terminology lists specific to your organization

  • Brand voice guidelines or writing standards

  • Examples of content in multiple languages (if available)

Train Your Agent to be a Brand Ambassador and Industry Expert

Next, start uploading your materials to create and translate. Each project will train the agent on your specific requirements. This process is similar to onboarding a new team member — you're teaching the agent what good looks like for your organization and learning journeys.

During this phase, you'll also set up your glossary. This is a list of approved terms and their translations that the agent will use consistently. The glossary helps maintain accurate terminology across all languages, which is especially important for technical or specialized content.

Training Focuses On:

  • Your organization's tone and writing style

  • How you structure learning modules

  • Technical terms and their correct translations

  • Compliance requirements specific to your industry

Loop in Human Review Where Needed

While the Learning Content Agent automates much of the content creation process, human reviewers still play an important role. They provide quality checks and feedback that help the agent improve over time.

Set up a review workflow that includes your subject matter experts and language reviewers for each target language. You can also use Smartcat's marketplace of over 500,000 professional linguists and reviewers to quality check your content in the platform. Their feedback teaches the agent about your preferences and helps it create better content with each project.

Effective Review Workflows Typically Include:

  • Subject matter experts who verify technical accuracy

  • Language reviewers who check quality in each target language

  • Clear guidelines that define the focus for reviewers

  • A process for incorporating feedback into the agent's learning

Measuring Success and ROI

AI in corporate training enhances learning efficiency, personalization, and engagement.[2] The impact and Return on Investment (ROI) of Learning Content Agents can be measured in several ways. Here are some metrics to show the agent’s impact on your daily work.

Time Savings

Track how long it takes to create multilingual training materials before and after implementing the agent. Most organizations see significant time savings —often reducing production time by 50-70%.

“We have produced 298 projects; of these, over 80% were for eLearning courses. Smartcat allowed us to increase our initial two target languages to ten easily and quickly.”

Content Consistency

Measure consistency across language versions by tracking terminology usage and style adherence. By drawing on carefully curated memories—an approach shown to curb bias and uphold the original language nuances—your Learning Content Agent can reliably apply approved terminology and brand voice throughout every module. [1]

“When departments submit a project similar to one they have done in the past, the system will remind translators of previously translated content. Both the translation memory and term bases make in-language written communication consistent and professional."

Learner Satisfaction

Survey learners about their experience with the training materials. Look for improvements in comprehension and engagement, especially among non-native speakers of your primary language to optimize your enablement.

"With translating our eLearning course content, we’re seeing that retention levels are up, with staff staying with us for longer than before. Smartcat has made this all possible, and we now enjoy a fast, results-driven translation workflow."

Cost Efficiency

Calculate the total cost of creating multilingual training content before and after implementing the agent. Include both direct costs (like translation services) and indirect costs (like review time and project management).

“We’ve been able to increase our productivity by 50% while reducing our outsourcing costs by 50%. This has had a huge impact on our bottom line.”
