Agentic AI Interaction Model
This graph shows that more Agentic AI will have a huge impact on network traffic, compute, and security requirements across the entire campus.
Agentic AI empowers universities to deliver significantly better services for students, faculty, and staff. Unlike generative AI, which simply produces responses or content, agentic AI actively manages workflows across systems, anticipates needs, and independently solves problems to enhance institutional value.
Agentic technology autonomously coordinates tasks, providing real-time, proactive support, and deeply personalizing experiences—far beyond what traditional generative AI can offer.
Agentic AI benefits for students, faculty, and staff
-
Students receive personalized, context-aware support—including automated deadline reminders, tailored resource suggestions, and smart onboarding that adjusts to their backgrounds and needs.
-
Faculty accelerate student submission reviews, recommend more effective course plans, and monitor progress automatically, enabling deeper mentorship and advanced teaching.
-
Staff benefit from intelligent automation of admissions, scheduling, and financial aid workflows, empowering them to solve complex support issues instead of routine administrative tasks.
