Coursera Joins OpenAI to Power Learning in ChatGPT Apps

Coursera, a leading global online learning platform, today announced it is one of OpenAI’s first generation of apps in ChatGPT, unveiled at OpenAI’s DevDay. This partnership marks the first time an online learning platform has been directly embedded in ChatGPT — making trusted, world-class educational content more accessible to hundreds of millions of learners worldwide.

Every week, more than 800 million people use ChatGPT, with one of the most common use cases being learning. Now, these users will be able to access relevant Coursera videos and information in ChatGPT conversations, making educational content more discoverable and turning everyday chats into dynamic, interactive learning experiences. To access the Coursera app in ChatGPT, users can ask ChatGPT for the app by name. ChatGPT will also suggest when it recognizes that Coursera content may be useful to the conversation.

“This partnership reflects Coursera and OpenAI’s shared commitment to expanding access to education and helping people everywhere learn, grow, and thrive,” said Greg Hart, CEO of Coursera. “By putting trusted, verified learning into the hands of hundreds of millions of people, we can help them gain the skills they need to pursue economic opportunity and prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.”

“ChatGPT is quickly becoming one of the go-to tools for people who want to learn something new. But the most powerful learning experiences happen when human expertise and AI work together,” said Leah Belsky, VP of Education at OpenAI. “By bringing the expertise of world-class educators and institutions within Coursera into ChatGPT, learners can more easily find trusted content, build job-ready skills, move their careers forward, and unlock new opportunities.”

This app, built on OpenAI’s Apps SDK, represents a significant step in making high-quality education more discoverable at scale — putting Coursera content directly into ChatGPT so learners can move from curiosity to credentials faster and with greater confidence.
