What is Scribe?
Scribe stops waiting for users to hit record: Autocapture documents work as it happens.
Scribe has spent the summer layering an org-context agent (Optimize) on top of its step-by-step capture product: admin-supplied business context, tag-based context, file uploads and customizable workflows. Library and appearance polish filled the gaps. Autocapture now changes the input side, observing approved business apps and producing ready-to-review Scribes without a manual start or stop.
What is Teachable?
Teachable spends the cycle hardening commerce and access control; Learning Paths the lone forward bet
Teachable's recent cadence is dominated by stabilization: enrollment access control, subscription billing, quiz scoring, catalog display, and commerce edge cases are all being corrected release after release. The net-new direction is Collections, which folds Bundles in with a new Learning Paths feature in limited beta, alongside a more personalized admin dashboard and mobile apps catching up to web.

Scribe
6.3EDTECH
Scribe stops waiting for users to hit record: Autocapture documents work as it happens.
◆ Current state
Scribe has spent the summer layering an org-context agent (Optimize) on top of its step-by-step capture product: admin-supplied business context, tag-based context, file uploads and customizable workflows. Library and appearance polish filled the gaps. Autocapture now changes the input side, observing approved business apps and producing ready-to-review Scribes without a manual start or stop.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from a documentation tool people invoke to a process-observation layer that runs in the background and feeds the Optimize agent. Each recent release either widens what Scribe sees (video import, Autocapture) or deepens how the agent interprets it (business context, custom workflows).
◆ Prediction
Expect admin controls around Autocapture scope and review queues, and Optimize recommendations drawn directly from autocaptured workflows. The entries do not yet show how privacy or app approval is governed, which is the open question.

Teachable spends the cycle hardening commerce and access control; Learning Paths the lone forward bet
◆ Current state
Teachable's recent cadence is dominated by stabilization: enrollment access control, subscription billing, quiz scoring, catalog display, and commerce edge cases are all being corrected release after release. The net-new direction is Collections, which folds Bundles in with a new Learning Paths feature in limited beta, alongside a more personalized admin dashboard and mobile apps catching up to web.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is being hardened first and expanded second. The fix-heavy changelog reads as a deliberate reliability push, with Learning Paths the clearest signal of where new investment is aimed: structured, multi-course journeys layered on top of the existing course-and-bundle commerce engine.
◆ Prediction
Expect Learning Paths to graduate from limited beta toward general availability and dashboard personalization to deepen, while the steady stream of commerce and enrollment fixes continues.
