The headline pretty much says it all (which is what a good headline should do). Walden University, using "an AI-powered tutor named 'Julian,' taps into Google Cloud's AI and machine learning capabilities to generate a variety of on-demand learning activities." There's a link to a one-hour webinar, but it's locked behind a spamwall (there's also no way to fast-forward through instructions, introductions and other detritus). I think the limiting factor of the recommender is the same as for Microsoft's Start - a very limited selection of resources and types of resource. I also felt that the question-and-answer format used by the tutor was awkward and would feel very scripted to a student.
