Training That Scales with You: How PETE Is Making L&D a Superpower for Growing Teams
Closing the Gap Between Ambition and Enablement
When most companies think about workforce training, they picture something built for scale: professional instructional designers, a full L&D department, a dedicated LMS team. But that’s a luxury many fast-growing businesses can’t afford, or don’t have time to build.
That’s exactly the gap PETE set out to close.
Founded in 2023 by Jacques Fu, a unicorn founder, and Luis Garcia, a veteran in education with 20 years of experience in digital learning, PETE was born out of frustration. Traditional training tools were too slow, too clunky, and too dependent on internal expertise. For lean, fast-scaling teams, the options were either time-consuming manual efforts or off-the-shelf content that lacked relevance.
The question PETE asked was deceptively simple: What if training wasn’t a burden, but a competitive advantage?
From Bottleneck to Breakthrough: What PETE Actually Does
PETE is an AI-native training platform purpose-built for companies that need to scale training fast, without the overhead of a full L&D team. At its core, PETE turns raw knowledge, be it a doc, presentation, or even an idea, into a complete, interactive learning experience in just hours.
The platform uses a proprietary system called Cognition, a patent-pending engine that automates the entire instructional design process. It’s not just generative AI layered onto an LMS. It’s a full-stack intelligence layer that:
- Builds expert-level courses with structured outlines, lesson plans, and evaluations
- Generates engaging slides, voiceovers, and avatars to bring content to life
- Delivers simulations and real-world role plays that go far beyond multiple-choice
- Tracks learner performance and issues completion certificates
The result? A complete training lifecycle created, delivered, and assessed with little more than your subject matter expertise and a few hours of time.
Real Impact: Orlando Venues and the Power of One
One of PETE’s most compelling success stories comes from Orlando Venues, the team behind the Kia Center and Camping World Stadium. They needed to train over 200 security staff on everything from SOPs to emergency protocols, but lacked the internal bandwidth to do it well.
With PETE, a single course creator built and deployed an entire training program. Static manuals were replaced with interactive simulations, boosting preparedness. Standardization improved. So did leadership efficiency.
“PETE has significantly improved our training challenges by providing a streamlined, efficient way to deliver consistent and standardized content,” said Michael Weeman of the City of Orlando.
What once required a full team now takes just one person, and delivers better results.
Built for Today’s Teams, Not Yesterday’s LMS
The learning-tech space isn’t short on options. But many tools on the market are legacy LMS systems with AI features tacked on after the fact. PETE is different by design.
Its AI engine isn’t just about generating content faster, it’s about structuring knowledge more effectively. Instructional design, assessment loops, and scenario-based learning are baked into the platform’s DNA.
Where others see AI as a way to save time, PETE sees it as a way to elevate training into something strategic, measurable, and scalable.
It’s the difference between having an AI content assistant and having a full instructional design team in your corner.
Looking Ahead: The Future of AI in Training
PETE’s roadmap reflects a deep belief that AI can, and should, do more than just automate busywork. The next 12–24 months are focused on three key innovations:
1. Avatars That Teach, Not Just Test
PETE is evolving from using avatars in simulations to enabling them as full-blown instructors. Think AI-powered experts that guide, explain, and demo content in real time – no humans required.
2. Hyper-Personalized Learning Paths
The team is developing adaptive learning flows that adjust based on learner performance, behavior, and knowledge gaps, transforming training from static content into dynamic learning journeys.
3. Integration with Legacy LMS Platforms
Recognizing that many enterprises already have LMS infrastructure in place, PETE aims to become an intelligence layer that works alongside existing systems, bringing AI-driven course creation and simulations to platforms companies already use.
Betting on the Democratization of L&D
PETE’s founders believe the next wave of training innovation isn’t just about better tech, it’s about broader access.
Historically, effective training required enterprise budgets and dedicated L&D teams. But in a world where teams are lean and talent is global, the winners will be companies that can scale knowledge fast, without burning out their leaders or overloading HR.
PETE is positioning itself to drive this transformation.
It captures your best internal knowledge once and distributes it across the organization. It reduces the need for repetitive shadowing and coaching. And it shifts training from an ad hoc effort into a strategic asset.
All with the kind of speed, polish, and scalability that once took entire teams to achieve.
