What makes Artificial Intelligence a tool for learning, as opposed to a tool for productivity? University leaders realised last year that AI for learning requires several things. It must be about augmenting human capabilities, not offloading cognitive effort. It must be ethically developed, free of hallucinations and misinformation. It must be evidence-based, with proof of impact, learning gain, and student satisfaction. It must have the highest levels of data privacy and integrity. It must be equitably accessible by all students to level the playing field of learning. And it must come from a trusted source.

With history, experience, expertise, technological ability, and a credible reputation - Studiosity is trusted by over 80% of Australian universities to deliver an AI for learning solution that meets the expectations of university leaders, staff, and students.

Developed in Sydney and delivered over more than two decades, including six years of deep research into artificial intelligence, Studiosity is now the preferred provider - by both students and institutions - for academic literacy support. At UA 2025, chat to us about your current program or find out how immediate feedback and study help can transform the confidence and learning trajectory of your students.
