ZANUS AI FOR UNIVERSITY & RESEARCH — GRANTS & PAPERS

Ask twenty years of papers. They answer.

Grant proposals, published papers, institutional policies, funding-agency guidelines, committee minutes — loaded into curated libraries the AI reads from. Ask in plain language; get the answer with the source cited, at the permission level of whoever asks.

Get started

Private tenant or your own servers · unlimited users · FERPA-conscious handling

Institutional document libraries with priority order

Libraries: current policies outrank drafts, final proposals outrank versions — you set the order.

What it does

Any format, including scans and figures

PDFs, Word, spreadsheets, scanned agreements, images and media — the ingestion pipeline turns what the institution actually holds into queryable knowledge.

Answers with the source

No source in your library, no claim: the AI cites the paper, the policy, the award document — or says it cannot answer. Critical for work that gets peer-reviewed.

Permission-shaped answers

A grad student asks about lab procedures; the department chair asks about budgets: each gets answers scoped to their role, enforced server-side.

The literature review that starts at 80%

“Which of our published papers used this method?” “What did the 2019 site-visit report recommend?” “What is the current policy on data retention?” The archive answers in seconds, with documents attached — instead of a week of hunting across shared drives and inboxes.

Priority order: current versions rule

Precision vector store answering from institutional documents

Higher-ed software is procured module by module and seat by seat, research computing sits behind request queues — and the grants office still rebuilds every budget justification from scratch the week the proposal is due. Zanus AI: one AI operating system for grants, papers, policies and student services — unlimited users, FERPA-conscious handling, hosted in your private tenant or on servers the institution owns.

Questions, answered

Who can see student or personnel records?

Only roles you authorize. Permissions reach the field level and the server redacts what a user cannot see — FERPA-conscious handling by architecture, not by policy memo.

Do our papers and proposals train outside models?

Never. Your tenant is isolated; your institutional knowledge is yours alone — and the on-premises option keeps it physically inside your facilities.
