Find out how QuadC can help your institution improve student retention.
With customizable configurations and a superior user experience, QuadC will seamlessly integrate with all of your institution's existing tools.
Multiple models, not just one
With QuadC AI, institutions aren’t locked into a single model. You can enable multiple LLMs, including GPT-4.1, Gemini, Claude, or even your institution’s own AI models. This gives students and educators more flexibility to compare outputs and find what works best for their needs.
ChatGPT Edu only supports OpenAI's models and offers limited visibility into how those models evolve over time.


Purpose-built for education
ChatGPT Edu is designed as a general-purpose AI assistant. It's powerful and capable across many domains, but it wasn’t built with education at its core. Educators and students often have to craft their own prompts and adapt the tool to academic settings.
QuadC AI is made for the classroom. It includes ready-to-use educational tools for tutoring, study support, writing, feedback, and more. Students don’t need to figure out how to use AI, it just works for what they need to do in school and higher education. Educators can trust that the responses are aligned with learning outcomes.
Built-in educational support tools
With ChatGPT Edu, everything starts with an empty chat. Students and faculty have to guide the AI with prompts and adapt it to fit academic needs. There are no subject-specific tools, no lesson plan workflows, and no direct tie-in to what students are working on in class.
QuadC AI, on the other hand, includes a full suite of academic tools designed for real classroom use. Everything is built around how students learn, and how faculty teach.
Each tool is designed to meet students where they are, no prompts to figure out, no workarounds needed. Just support that fits into their workflow and helps them move forward, with features like:

Homework Help
Students can upload assignments or ask questions directly from their coursework. The AI breaks problems into steps, explains the reasoning, and gives guided support without handing over the answer.

Interactive Quizzes
QuadC AI can create self-check quizzes based on class content or study materials, helping students test their understanding and get feedback in real time.

Lesson Planning
QuadC AI offers lesson outlines, reading materials, and question worksheets aligned to learning outcomes.

Essay Feedback
Instead of rewriting or generating essays, QuadC AI gives targeted suggestions on clarity, structure, grammar, and argument strength, helping students improve their own work. Feedback is contextual and tied to academic rubrics.

Embeddable AI Bots
Course-specific bots can be embedded right inside your LMS (Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard). They’re built with educators’ materials (PDFs, lecture slides, YouTube videos), and can answer student questions without leaving the course environment.

1:1 Human Tutoring Integration
Students who need more help can connect directly to live tutors from inside the platform. This handoff from AI to human support gives learners the best of both worlds, immediate help when they need it, and expert guidance when it matters most.
Designed for integration
QuadC AI works directly inside popular learning platforms like Brightspace D2L, Canvas, and Moodle. Institutions don’t need custom development to embed it. ChatGPT Edu, on the other hand, requires additional setup to integrate with LMS environments.


Flexible licensing, easier rollout
ChatGPT Edu uses a per-user model, which can be limiting when institutions want to scale access across campuses. QuadC AI uses a shared seat model, allowing for more flexible deployment that fits the academic calendar and diverse student needs.
Bottom line
If you're looking for an AI platform that understands education, supports your LMS, and gives students structured, academic-focused tools, QuadC AI is a stronger fit. ChatGPT Edu is powerful and broad, but QuadC AI is built for learning.
