The Expert does
the job.
Not a chatbot. Not a copilot. An AI employee that connects to your Canvas, Salesforce, and Gmail — and does the work inside them.
A course built in your LMS. An enrollment anomaly caught and reported. Fifteen outreach emails drafted in Gmail, ready to send. Runs on a schedule, remembers your preferences, and costs pennies per task.
This is what done looks like.
Each Expert carries domain knowledge — Bloom's taxonomy, WCAG standards, your brand voice — and connects directly to your systems via OAuth. It remembers your preferences from past runs, executes the work, then shows you exactly what it did and what it cost.
Your backlog isn't a planning problem. It's a headcount problem.
You know which courses need redesigning. You know the compliance audit is overdue. You know enrollment reporting should happen weekly, not quarterly. The strategy isn't missing. The people to execute it are.
The data is blunt. In the CUPA-HR 2025 retention survey of 3,791 higher ed employees, 61% are now carrying duties outside their original job description. More than half have absorbed the responsibilities of colleagues who left. Supervisors report rising expectations, weekend work, and difficulty taking time off. Separately, a TimelyCare survey found 53% of faculty and staff have considered quitting.
Meanwhile, the 2026 L&D Global Sentiment Survey — 3,797 respondents across 105 countries — found “budget” cited 222 times in challenge responses, a record. The word “human” appeared 64 times. In 2022–23, it was absent entirely. The anxiety is new.
AI was supposed to help. But most tools added another interface to manage, not another pair of hands to delegate to.

Brief them like you'd brief your team.
Choose a role
Pick from the Expert library or create your own. Each role carries domain knowledge — Bloom's taxonomy, WCAG standards, Quality Matters — and speaks higher ed.
Connect your systems
Canvas, Moodle, Salesforce, Gmail, Sheets. Two-click OAuth. Experts work inside your systems, not alongside them. Or skip this — many roles need zero connections.
Describe the work
In plain language. The Expert executes, shows you every step it took, and delivers the result — a course built, a report generated, emails drafted, issues fixed.
This isn't ChatGPT
with a skin.
General chat tools produce text. Quad produces work — inside the systems your team already uses, with domain knowledge built in.
| Capability | ChatGPT / Claude | Quad |
|---|---|---|
| Domain knowledge | General purpose | Bloom’s, WCAG, QM standards built in |
| System access | None — copy-paste results | Builds in your Canvas, queries your Salesforce |
| Memory | Forgets every session | Remembers your preferences, baselines, history |
| Scheduling | None | Weekly reports, daily checks, fully automated |
| Output | Text in a chat window | Courses in LMS, PDFs, spreadsheets, emails |
| Trust model | None — full access or nothing | Suggest → Review → Execute → Autonomous |
Roles for every gap
on your team.
Quad ships with specialized roles for higher ed and EdTech — instructional design, enrollment, accessibility, compliance, and more. Each carries domain frameworks and industry standards. Start with these, customize them, or build new ones from scratch.
Start with these three.
Instructional Designer
Everything CourseMAGIC does — plus rubrics, syllabi, lesson plans, and accessibility auditing. And it builds directly in your LMS.
Content Writer
Branded landing pages, program copy, and course materials. Styled HTML or polished documents, ready to publish.
Accessibility Specialist
Audits your courses, fixes issues directly in your LMS, and generates VPAT reports. WCAG 2.1 AA + Section 508.
You decide what runs, when,
and how far.
Every execution is traceable — you see the data sources, the reasoning, the actions taken, and the cost. Trust builds over time. You set the pace.
Turn any chat into a scheduled workflow
Chat → Approve → Schedule → Autonomous. Your enrollment pulse report used to take 4 hours every Monday. Now it’s delivered to your inbox at 7 AM, automatically. Trust builds over time — you set the pace.
Full execution trace
Every tool call, data source, reasoning step — logged and viewable for every run.
Cost per execution
Every run shows its model cost. Usage dashboard tracks spend daily, weekly, monthly — per Expert.
Encrypted credentials
System credentials stored in Vault. The AI never sees your raw passwords or tokens.
Bring your own key
Use your Anthropic API key for full cost control and data governance.
Experts work where you work.
Your LMS, CRM, email, spreadsheets. Two-click OAuth for most platforms. For anything custom, provide the API URL.
Every role also works without connections — research, content, and document generation need zero setup.
