Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a leading online skills marketplace and
learning platform, today announced a series of generative AI (gen
AI)-enabled offerings designed to support personalized learning and
enhanced skills development. The comprehensive Udemy Intelligent
Skills Platform will include Udemy AI Learning Assistant, Udemy AI
Skills Mapping and several new enhancements for content
creators/instructors, such as a gen AI-assisted Q&A feature.
“We believe gen AI is radically revolutionizing
the way we work and how professionals are developing new skills,”
said Greg Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer at Udemy.
“As the world transitions to a skills-based economy, our gen
AI-powered Intelligent Skills Platform will transform personalized
learning and how skills are acquired and verified. Udemy is
committed to providing high-quality learning experiences, ensuring
learners and organizations can easily identify and develop the
skills they need today and in the future.”
Scheduled to launch throughout 2024, the Udemy gen
AI-powered ecosystem will empower organizations with personalized
learning solutions for professionals by facilitating the discovery,
development and validation of competitive skills crucial to
accomplishing business objectives. Udemy’s AI-oriented offerings,
as well as its overall Intelligent Skills Platform, will support
employee training and development, enabling faster real-world
application of new skills and integrating learning into existing
workflows.

here.
Udemy AI Learning Assistant
Focused on helping learners easily identify
courses among the wealth of knowledge on the Udemy platform and
optimize in-course learning, the Udemy AI Learning Assistant will
take a multifaceted approach to strengthen the learning experience
by:
- Helping learners discover the right content for them among the
thousands of courses on the platform before they get started. The
Udemy AI Learning Assistant will aim to surface the most relevant
learning content based on learner search terms and desired
objectives as captured in the chat. Learners can articulate their
needs using natural language and the Udemy AI Learning Assistant
will identify the content that best matches the desired
skills.
- Summarizing course content for easier consumption and
recollection to accelerate learning.
- Offering personalized feedback via the intelligent chat-based
assistant to speed up learning, comprehension and subject mastery.
When learners raise questions pertinent to the course content, the
Udemy AI Learning Assistant can provide concise responses along
with links to relevant lectures for constructive guidance.
Udemy AI Skills Mapping &
Guidance
Knowing which skills will drive business and
learning outcomes, and subsequently, which learning content maps to
those skills to upskill internal talent can be a difficult, manual
and time-intensive challenge. However, this is the challenge in
front of every company that wants to become a skills-based
organization. The Udemy AI Skills Mapping tool will make it easy
for any organization to transition to a skills-based approach by
reducing the effort and time required to translate loosely defined,
high-level needs to the detailed list of skills required.
Udemy AI Skills Mapping will help organizations
with the development of personalized and scalable custom learning
paths (often referred to as guidance) that map skills to learning
content. For example, an admin will be able to say that they would
like to develop expertise for their team in a particular domain and
Udemy AI Skills Mapping will be able to generate the right learning
paths based on the desired end skill set and business outcome.
Gen AI-powered Q&A
Building on the success of the gen AI-powered
tools launched in 2023 for creating coding exercises in Java,
Python and C++ courses, Udemy will further enhance and deliver new
capabilities for instructors to more efficiently meet learner needs
through a gen AI-powered Q&A Assistant.
This offering will allow learners to receive
faster responses to the questions they post in discussion forums
while ensuring the instructors will be given the opportunity to
review and vet the answers, maintaining quality and alignment with
their educational materials. Learners will benefit from accurate
and clear responses delivered at speed and instructors utilizing
this tool will save valuable time, allowing them to focus on what
they do best - teaching.
Gen AI-powered Thematic Analysis for
Cohort Learning
Udemy has also launched a thematic analysis
feature to facilitate cohort learning experiences in the Udemy
Business Leadership Academy. Udemy’s gen AI capabilities summarize
and highlight emerging themes from discussions and other group
activities to facilitate collaboration, share knowledge and enhance
cross-functional understanding for admins and learners.
“Personalized, practical and efficient learning
solutions on the Udemy Intelligent Skills Platform will drive
greater adoption and engagement for millions of professionals,
helping learners find the right part of the right course for the
learning outcome that best meets their needs,” said Prasad Raje,
Chief Product Officer at Udemy. “Udemy AI Learning Assistant and AI
Skills Mapping will enable learners and leaders within
organizations to access the collective expertise of thousands of
Udemy instructors to personalize learning on an entirely new level.
Additionally, it will empower instructors to scale their
connections with learners.”
