Encouraging the Development of Innovative Products by Startups or Prototypes of Innovative Products
Project “Unive AI – Development of an AI-Powered University Admissions Platform”
Project No. 02-113-J-0024
Short description
During the project, Unive AI will complete the development and market launch of an innovative AI-powered EdTech platform designed to support students applying to universities. The project focuses on building and deploying a multi-agent artificial intelligence system that automates and enhances the most complex parts of the university admissions process, including, but not limited to: university selection, extracurricular profile development, essay writing, interview preparation, and others.
By leveraging admissions-specific fine-tuned large language models, proprietary datasets, and behavioral design, Unive AI significantly reduces the time, cost, and inequality associated with access to high-quality admissions consulting, making elite-level guidance available to a much broader audience.
Project objective
To develop and bring to market an innovative EdTech product that applies advanced artificial intelligence technologies to university admissions consulting, enabling students to complete high-quality applications more efficiently, affordably, and transparently.
