Coursera
University courses with the Coursera Coach AI
We publish a full Four-Mismatches fit assessment for the student-facing exam tools first. For this one, the facts below are what we have verified — run the Four Mismatches Test on it yourself for your own students.
Independence: Addestra builds learning products too (MathsTutor, TinkerWell). We never review or score our own, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.
What it does
What the AI actually does — 'Coursera Coach', an LLM tutor that answers course questions and summarises lectures; AI-assisted authoring and recommendations.
Why it was built — Put university-grade courses and credentials online at scale, with top universities and companies.
