Cogniti – made by educators for educators

Cogniti is designed by educators, and built by educators, to empower educators.  Create steerable and accurate agents powered by generative AI. Cogniti is designed to let teachers build custom chatbot agents that can be given specific instructions, and specific resources, to assist student learning in context-sensitive ways.

Why Cogniti?

With so many AI tools out there, it’s easy to get lost or even have favourites. But Cogniti is a unique product, which has been made by educators for educators! Plus was made right here, in Australia!

Join the Conversation in Teams

As part of the AIPP, the Chatbot Creation sub-group is undertaking a pilot of Cogniti AI in 2025. This platform allows us to make our own chatbots for use in UniSQ courses and support areas.

This exciting platform allows educators to create both Study-bots and Persona-bots. Study-bots allow students to engage with the bot as a guide to course material – acting like a peer tutor. Persona-bots are more nuanced, acting in a role, and entering into dialogue with students. For example, a Persona-bot might allow Psychology students to practice complex conversations with patients.

There has been a great deal of interest in this pilot and we look forward to updating you on the positive impact of our chatbots!

You can join us on Teams here.
