Innovate how you learn
Syntea is here to make your studies easier. Our custom AI study assistant is like having a personal tutor ready to help you ace your courses.
What is Syntea?
Syntea is an AI-powered chatbot, tailored to fit your unique learning needs. It was developed by IU International University of Applied Sciences specifically for our students, and it’s available in all of our courses for the on-campus programmes.
Unlike other AI tools (like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude), Syntea is specifically trained in our course materials, so it offers information that is guaranteed to help you in your studies.
