How to Use Autonomous Institutional Intelligence (AII)
A simple, six-step guide written for university directors. No jargon — just plain steps you can follow today.
What is AII?
AII is your personal research team. You ask it a question about a course, a competitor, or a region — and it returns the analysis, the chart, and the executive briefing, ready to share with your board. You don't need to be technical. If you can fill in a form, you can use AII.
1. Start a research project
Open New Research Project, pick your course, degree level, country, and goals. AII does the deep research for you — usually in under a minute.
Open new project →2. Analyse your competitors
Go to Competitor Analysis, type the names of universities you want to benchmark against and the course they offer. You'll get a side-by-side comparison of tuition, strengths, weaknesses, and clear gaps you can exploit.

Open activity →Tips for great results
- Be specific about the course name — "MSc Artificial Intelligence" works better than "AI degree".
- Add at least three competitor universities for a richer comparison matrix.
- For labour stats, try both a postcode (precise) and a region name (broader picture).
- Download both the PDF and .docx so your team can edit the Word version while you share the PDF.
