MasterClass bets AI teaching agents can broaden access to tutoring

MasterClass launched MasterClass Executive, an AI-native program using a multi-agent system that adapts lessons to each learner by detecting cognitive overload and fading motivation. About 10 agents run behind every learner interaction, monitored via CoreWeave's W&B Weave. The first cohort drew 30,000 applications for 500 spots; the second nears 50,000.
