Powering leading learning businesses

Disco builds the future of learning with AI‑powered social learning and personalization.

From Community to Integrated Social Learning

Circle gave creators and teams the space to connect. Disco turns that connection into structured, measurable learning — with cohorts, programs, and AI-powered design baked in. Disco is AI‑first, social by design, and built to scale. We empower you to:

‍

  • Build social learning journeys in hours, not weeks.
  • Guide members through structured programs — not just content drops
  • Scale with automations, nudges, and built-in insights
