Find out how QuadC can help your institution improve student retention.

With customizable configurations, QuadC will seamlessly integrate with all of your institution's existing tools.

More flexibility. More control.

With QuadC AI, your institution isn’t locked into a single AI model. You can leverage the strengths of multiple LLMs, including Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and even your institution’s own models. This flexibility means educators and students get access to the right AI for the right task, whether it’s drafting, tutoring, assessments, or research assistance.

Claude’s single-model approach limits adaptability. Institutions relying on a broader AI ecosystem, or with specific compliance or customization needs, may find it harder to scale.

quadc ai integrations

Seamless integration with your systems

Claude’s integration is largely built around Canvas, with other LMS connections requiring custom work. QuadC AI offers direct integrations with major LMS platforms including Brightspace (D2L), Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard.

Smarter support for students and faculty

QuadC AI doesn’t just deliver AI responses. It includes built-in escalation to human tutors when needed. If a student gets stuck, they can connect directly to a live tutor inside the same platform. Claude doesn’t offer live human support as part of its platform.

Licensing that fits how campuses work

Claude uses a per-user license, which can quickly become expensive for institutions trying to offer broad access to students and faculty.

QuadC AI’s shared seat model is designed to solve that. You don’t pay for every individual. Instead, you only pay for the number of seats. This makes it easier and more affordable to scale AI access across departments, programs, or the entire campus, without driving up costs.

Bottom line

Both platforms aim to support responsible AI use in higher education, but QuadC AI is built to solve a wider range of academic challenges. Where Claude focuses on thoughtful conversation and prompt-based learning, QuadC AI delivers a more complete solution with structured academic tools, live human support, and flexible deployment across the entire campus.
