Overview
Absorb LMS is developed by Absorb Software Inc. The vendor’s web presence now resolves to the absorbai.com domain, where it describes the product as “an AI-powered strategic learning system designed for all internal and external learning needs”.[7] The company page states that Absorb has more than 2,900 customers and 34 million users, while the home page cites more than 3,700 companies; the two figures appear on different pages and are not reconciled by the vendor.[6][7]
The AI layer, branded Aura, includes an agent that answers learner questions from assigned training, a course-drafting agent that works from uploaded documents, and an administrator assistant.[7] Around the core LMS sit Absorb Create for authoring, Absorb Amplify for a pre-built course library of more than 20,000 titles, a frontline-worker app, mentoring and gamification modules, and e-commerce with multiple payment gateways and currencies.[7] Absorb lists connectors to more than 40 systems including ADP, Workday and Salesforce.[7] The home page shows logos for Sony, Gap, Johnson & Johnson, Samsung and Toyota and says the vendor was named a leader in the 2025 Forrester Wave for learning management systems.[7] Pricing is not published; the pricing page is a lead form segmented by learner count.
