An AI-driven platform called Cogniti, developed at The University of Sydney, is enhancing tertiary education outcomes globally following its January 2026 launch on Microsoft Marketplace. The platform enables educators to build course-specific AI agents that act as subject tutors, providing personalised feedback and guiding students through complex problem-solving. Nursing educators from three New Zealand polytechnics—Unitec, Manukau Institute of Technology, and Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology—developed three agents simulating clinical scenarios. At Unitec, 100 per cent of surveyed students said they would recommend the deteriorating patient agent, with 92 per cent agreeing it helped their studies. Across all three nursing agents, students at Unitec and Manukau logged 820 conversations in the second semester of 2025 alone. Professor Danny Liu is the platform’s architect. Cogniti is now available to academics worldwide on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace.
