## What the story says

MIT built a platform of 24 AI assistants, one per step of its Disciplined Entrepreneurship course, to guide students through deliverables such as market sizing, product-market fit validation and business plans. The assistants were deployed via APIs inside MIT's own interface alongside the course content.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of StackAI and MIT, not ours.

> With the AI agents handling research, synthesis, and structured feedback, students saved more than 500 hours—time that was reinvested in refining ideas and deepening learning.

- **2 weeks**: “The platform was operational in just 2 weeks, demonstrating StackAI’s low-lift implementation even in high-stakes academic settings.”
- **250**: “Over 250 students actively engaged with the assistants during the course.”
- **24**: “In total, 24 assistants were deployed, each aligned to one of the entrepreneurial steps in the curriculum.”

> The StackAI platform was paramount in easily building AI assistants for our students, in a matter of weeks. We were able to transform the students' learning journey ourselves, without the need to code or become an expert in AI.
