The infrastructure for educational AI.

Integrated with the systems universities and students already use
Education supercharged.
Built for universities, designed for transparency.
A new, unified, access layer between AI and universities
FactBeat connects your learning and administrative resources to AI. You decide how and where students and staff can interact with university materials using AI — in external tools or integrated in your VLE.
Universities in control
Course content is only used for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — not for training.
Real-time analytics
Gain insights into how students are learning with a real-time analytics dashboard.
Full course context
Students can query all course materials at once without having to manually upload materials.
Custom retrieval permissions
Student access permissions get automatically imported from your systems and can be manually set by faculty.
Plug into your stack
Supports Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and more out of the box.
Where the work already happens.
Drop FactBeat into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other system — students and faculty get trusted, source-backed answers wherever they already work.

One layer for the whole campus.
FactBeat sits between AI tools and your institutional content — lectures, past papers, library resources — while you remain in full control.
Integrated
Securely connect your existing systems to the AI tools your students already use.
Control
Granular permissions and content scoping. Faculty decides what each student can access via AI.
Insights
Real data on student AI usage. Inform your strategy with what is actually happening.
Visibility
Queries, sources, and content access in one place. Anonymised, GDPR aligned.
Built for everyone who shapes
the student experience.
Role-based views, governance, and content controls.
Find what they need, fast
Students can instantly query university materials natively in the AI apps they already use. Studying is streamlined, with no need for students to copy and paste or piece together materials.
Data-driven decisions
FactBeat provides insight into how students are using AI through its analytics dashboard.
Measurable results
Insights into AI usage across campus rooted in real data. Regular reporting enables the detailed evaluation of FactBeat’s impact and the assessment of the wider AI strategy.
Designed for the realities of higher education.
Your content is for retrieval, never training.
Institutional content powers retrieval-augmented generation only. We never use it to train AI models — yours or anyone else's.
Conversations are never stored.
Student chats are not retained or read by FactBeat. Aggregate usage data is anonymised before any institutional reporting.
Flexible deployment for your institution.
Cloud, regional, or on-premises — FactBeat aligns with your security posture and data residency requirements.
Built for higher-ed governance.
GDPR-compliant by design. Single Sign-On, role-based access, and a full audit trail.
Secure and compliant:
From data to decisions.
FactBeat turns the way your students use AI into a data-driven view of learning across content, queries, and outcomes — so you can educate with feedback.
Understand how students use AI
Aggregate queries, sources, and content access at the course or department level — always anonymised.
See which content actually gets used
Track which lectures, policies, and library resources students engage with through AI — and where the gaps are.
Inform your teaching
Turn anonymised usage data into actionable decisions on teaching and content.
Privacy-first by default
Student conversations are never stored. Insights are anonymised before they reach institutional reporting.
