Artificial Intelligence Enters the University with Ex Machina

If there is one sector that inherently embraces, seeks, and even creates change, it is undoubtedly the university sector. With its decades of experience in EduTech, Ex Machina is a leader in this change, bringing AI directly into university hallways, classrooms, and offices.

An integrated ecosystem of Ex Machina AI solutions promises to revolutionize the experience of students, faculty, and administrative staff with tools that do not just optimize processes, but completely rethink them. From multilingual virtual assistants for international students to conversational guides capable of drawing certified and up-to-date content directly from websites and document archives, from AI agents that monitor every regulatory change to virtual tutors that can support students in learning specific educational content. But Ex Machina’s innovation does not stop there; it also includes research and the universities’ so-called “third mission.” By mapping the skills of researchers and graduates, it facilitates technology transfer and collaboration with local companies, in addition to supporting the university’s participation in national and international tenders.

This change is not just a promise but a reality, translating into numerous concrete and successful projects developed by Ex Machina for various Italian universities. For example, the collaboration with Almalaurea and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia aims to improve the matching between graduates and job positions to retain talent in the region. Another example is the LineAtenei partnership, which will put into operation AI agents trained to execute the most common administrative university processes, from writing resolutions to compiling the SUA-CDS (University Didactic System forms). Ex Machina’s goal is to extend a digital ecosystem capable of transforming traditional university processes into an experience closer to the needs of students, faculty, and administrative staff in a changing world.
