Udemy Previews Agentic AI Solution, Altus, Designed to Diagnose Skills Gaps and Build Workforce Capability

Key Terms

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

personalization engine technical

A personalization engine is software that uses data about individual customers—such as past purchases, browsing behavior, and stated preferences—to tailor what each person sees, receives, or is offered. Like a personal shopper or a radio DJ choosing songs you’re likely to enjoy, it can boost engagement, sales and customer loyalty by showing more relevant products or messages, which can improve revenue and marketing efficiency for investors to track.

performance-based assessments technical

Assessments that judge a project, program, employee, or product based on measurable results or outcomes rather than on inputs or time spent; they set clear performance targets and check whether those targets are met. For investors, these assessments matter because they influence how money is paid, what risks are shifted, and how reliably a company will deliver value—think of paying a driver only for miles actually driven rather than for hours sitting in the car.

Introduced at the company’s annual PowerUp event, the next-generation agentic AI solution aims to translate business priorities into personalized, outcome-driven upskilling

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY) today previewed Altus, the vision for its next-generation agentic AI solution, designed to help organizations identify critical skills, build capability in the flow of work, and drive measurable outcomes.

Introduced at the company’s annual PowerUp event, Altus is an integrated solution of specialized agents that is designed to help organizations accelerate time-to-proficiency, improve adoption of new technologies, and measure the ROI of reskilling programs.

“Altus represents a major step forward in using AI to reskill the global workforce, and advances our ambition to become the leading AI-powered skilling platform for future-ready workplace,” said Udemy President & CEO, Hugo Sarrazin. “Designed to connect business strategy directly to skills development, Altus aims to help leaders move faster, build stronger teams, and deliver real results.”

Organizations across industries are under pressure to execute complex strategic initiatives, including cloud modernization, digital transformation, and agent adoption. Yet, many struggle to identify capability gaps, align learning investments to business priorities, and measure the impact of reskilling. Traditional training programs are often slow, fragmented, and difficult to scale, leaving leaders without clear visibility into workforce readiness.

Altus is being designed to help organizations move beyond passive content consumption to coordinated, outcome-driven workforce transformation at scale by empowering managers to:

• Diagnose skill gaps in the context of business priorities
• Enable individualized skills mastery by leveraging a personalization engine that can help create adaptive and contextual learner experiences
• Integrate learning with enterprise systems and workflows
• Validate skills using performance-based assessments, including simulated practice scenarios, role play, and labs
• Monitor progress and surface recommendations to continuously adapt programs in real-time to support business outcomes

“By combining skills intelligence, personalization, and continuous measurement, Altus is being built to help organizations to move from learning activity to validated performance and business outcomes,” Sarrazin added. “Customers will be able to accelerate time-to-proficiency, improve adoption, and clearly demonstrate the return on their reskilling investments - positioning learning as a core part of their strategic infrastructure.”

We expect to begin rolling out early access to Altus over the next few months, with broader availability planned for the second half of the year.
