The University Network Launches Agentic Version of TUN AI, a Personalized Academic and Career Coach Optimized for Every Student’s Journey
NEW YORK, NY (September 30, 2025) — The University Network (TUN) today announced the launch of the agentic version of TUN AI, transforming the platform from a responsive chatbot into a proactive, personalized academic and career coach.
For years, students, parents, and educators have struggled with fragmented information, rising costs, and high-stakes decisions in education. While large language models offered some help, they often delivered generic or outdated answers. Solving these challenges required more than that — it required customized solutions powered by reliable information.
That’s why The University Network built TUN AI differently. Now upgraded into its new agentic version, TUN AI includes 20+ specialized models, each optimized to solve specific pain points — from scholarships and FAFSA to majors, academics, and career planning. Unlike generic AI tools, TUN AI combines vetted, current data, proactive agentic support, and an ethical framework, guiding students, parents, and educators with reliable insights. What’s more, it continues to work for students even when they are offline.
“The education space has lacked AI that truly understands its unique challenges,” said Peter M. Corrigan, CEO of TUN. “The agentic version of TUN AI is built with deep domain expertise, current data, and ethical guardrails — making it the first platform designed to guide the entire student journey with confidence.”
