Headquartered in Tokyo, Cerego is the company behind Smart.fm, a next-generation learning platform.
Cerego’s long-term vision is to revolutionize learning by building their vision of the learning platform of the future, Smart.fm.
Smart.fm creates personalized scheduling, adapts to the individual user, tracks progress, provides collaborative content creation tools, and is entirely driven by community, data, semantics, and science.
Cerego has developed patented learning algorithms based on research in the field of cognitive science. These algorithms power the Smart.fm learning applications and are increasingly being exposed through the Open API.
By combining proven scientific research with web technology, Cerego aims to offload much of the learning burden, allowing people to learn more quickly and manage their knowledge online.

Smart.fm represents the first phase of a platform that combines personalized learning applications and content creation tools in a collaborative, social environment. After an initial focus on language learning, smart.fm is now providing the memorization of facts too.
The next phase is a global offering that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge across multiple domains. The smart.fm platform will enable users to consume, create, re-mix, share, and manage learning content of any kind.
