ZANUS AI FOR UNIVERSITY & RESEARCH — OVERVIEW

The grant is due Friday. The draft is done Monday.

Admissions and registrar calls answered in 40 languages. Grant proposals drafted from your own award history. Papers, policies and committee minutes that answer back with sources. One AI system for the student-facing side and the research side — isolated in YOUR private tenant, or on servers the institution owns.

A real deployment view: grant records, scheduled AI works, the week’s proposal drafts in progress.

What it does

Callers always reach a voice

The AI answers admissions, registrar and department lines 24/7 in your chosen voices — application status, transcript requests, program questions — and escalates individual student matters to your staff, by your rules.

The proposal machine

Budget justifications, biosketches-adjacent summaries, progress reports and grant sections drafted from your own prior awards and program records — reviewed and submitted by humans.

Institutional knowledge, retained

Twenty years of papers, proposals and committee minutes become a system that answers with citations — and none of it trains anyone else’s model.

Front office: the student-facing side, handled

Application season floods the phones; international applicants call across time zones. The Zanus front office answers every ring on your menu, in the caller’s language, books advising appointments into real calendars, and answers the questions the registrar’s office repeats a hundred times a week.

Back office: the research side, working

The grants officer facing a Friday deadline does not start from a blank page: prior proposals, award budgets and program outcomes are in the libraries, and the AI drafts the new sections from them — cited, in your templates, awaiting the PI’s review.

  • Scheduled AI work: proposal sections, progress reports, summaries
  • Verified answers from YOUR institutional library
  • Finished documents await human sign-off

When research data cannot leave campus

Institutions with sensitive research data or strict residency requirements run the identical OS on Zanus hardware inside their own facilities: air-gap capable, USB updates, unlimited users — a multi-campus path as adoption grows.

On-premises AI servers for research institutions
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

How does this handle FERPA?

The handling is FERPA-conscious by design: isolated private tenants, role-based access to the field level, server-side redaction and a searchable audit trail — plus an on-premises option. Specifics are reviewed with your compliance and records teams during onboarding.

Does the AI write our grant proposals?

It drafts — from your own award history, program records and templates, with sources cited. The PI and the grants officer review, revise and decide. Nothing is submitted without human sign-off.

One department first, or the whole institution?

Either. A single department can run its own tenant and be live in days; workgroups scale the same system across colleges and campuses, with each unit seeing only what its role allows.

See it working on YOUR campus — the demo IS the product.
