Branching scenarios & interactions

Build real-world decision-making simulations where learners follow different paths based on their choices. Udutu's visual scenario editor handles complex branching without any coding.

What's new

AI-powered capabilities that set Udutu apart

Two new capabilities that go beyond what traditional course authoring tools offer — making it faster to reach multilingual teams and easier for learners to access knowledge after training ends.

AI Translation

Translate courses in hours, not weeks

Building training for a multilingual workforce used to mean paying a translation agency, rebuilding the course in a second language, and waiting weeks. Udutu changes that.

Export your course content, run it through AI translation tools like DeepL or Google Translate, and re-import the translated version. The same course structure, interactions, and assessments — in a new language — in a fraction of the time.

  • Export course text for AI translation in one step
  • Compatible with DeepL, Google Translate, and other AI tools
  • Re-import translated content while preserving course structure
  • Deliver the same training to multilingual teams without rebuilding
  • Human review recommended for compliance-critical content
AskU Integration

Make course content searchable after training ends

Most training gets forgotten the moment the course window closes. AskU changes the relationship between training and on-the-job performance.

Publish your course content directly to AskU — Udutu's AI mentor — and learners can ask questions about policies, procedures, and training material in plain language, at any time, from any device. The answers come from your content, not the public internet.

  • Publish course content to AskU with one click
  • Learners search training content in plain language after completing the course
  • Answers sourced exclusively from your organizational content
  • Reduces repeat questions to managers and HR teams
  • Works on any device — no app install required
Getting started

From your first idea to a live course — faster than you think

Most people have their first course built and published within a day of signing up. Here's what that journey looks like.

1

Start with what you already have

Upload an existing PowerPoint and Udutu converts it to an interactive online course in minutes — keeping your slides, structure, and content intact. Or start from a blank template and build from scratch. Either way, you're creating immediately, not configuring for hours.

PowerPoint import or blank template
2

Add interactions, quizzes, and media

Drag in video, audio, images, and animations. Add a quiz at the end of each module. Build a branching scenario for a realistic decision-making exercise. Apply your brand theme in one click. Everything you need is in the toolbar — no code, no plugins.

3

Translate for multilingual teams (optional)

Export your course content for AI translation. Run it through DeepL, Google Translate, or your preferred tool. Re-import the translated version. Your course is now ready in a second language without rebuilding a single screen.

AI translation — hours not weeks
4

Publish — to any LMS, or directly to Udutu

Export as a SCORM package and upload to any LMS you're already using. Or, if you're using the Udutu LMS, publish directly with one click — no manual export and upload required. Your course is live and available to learners immediately.

5

Make it searchable in AskU (optional)

Push your course content to AskU so learners can search training material in plain language long after the course is done. Policies, procedures, safety protocols — instantly accessible on any device, without digging through course modules.

Working with Jennifer on this project was a dream. She was fast to respond and met every deadline. She was able to build upon existing course content and implement new content seamlessly. I was impressed by her ability to learn the material and present it in her own words. I know who I will be calling for my next course!

What also made this course land well was how dynamic it was — with audio, music transitions, animations, interactions, and flow control. You were very agile and the process was seamless and well communicated from start to finish.
