Perpetual helps higher education institutions make AI easier to adopt, simpler to govern, and easier to control with real-time visibility into usage, cost, and operations across colleges, departments, projects, and budgets.
The longer it takes to align on AI governance, the more likely colleges, departments, and teams are to adopt AI outside the institution's control. Shadow AI grows. Costs fragment. Student data gets exposed. And IT loses visibility before leadership even knows there is a problem.
Most governance tools add friction. Perpetual removes it — making the governed path the easiest one to follow.
When faculty, researchers, and administrative staff can't easily access approved AI tools, they find their own. Personal ChatGPT accounts, consumer tools, and unvetted applications become the de facto standard — with no visibility, no policy, and no controls.
AI spending at universities is scattered across departments, projects, and personal accounts. Without a central layer, institutions have no way to track spend, enforce budgets, or allocate costs before they hit finance. Costs grow faster than governance.
FERPA and IRB requirements create serious exposure when faculty and researchers use AI without data classification. Student records, clinical trial data, and grant-funded research regularly enter AI systems that were never approved, assessed, or governed.
When accreditation bodies, legal teams, or institutional leaders ask how AI is being used, most universities cannot answer. Without a centralized governance layer, there are no logs, no usage records, and no way to demonstrate responsible AI adoption.
Perpetual sits between your users and every AI model — applying the right policy, context, and controls based on who is using AI, what they are working on, and what data is involved.
Integrate Perpetual with the AI tools already in use across your institution — or use it to introduce governed access to new models. No infrastructure changes required.
Define different AI access rules for faculty, staff, students, and researchers. Control what data can be used, which models are available, and what outputs can be shared — by role, department, or project.
Get a live view of AI usage across the institution. Track spend by department, flag policy violations, and surface risk signals before they become compliance incidents.
Perpetual automatically detects and blocks student PII, research data, and restricted information from reaching unauthorized AI systems — without disrupting the workflow.
Capture the knowledge, context, and workflows generated through AI usage — keeping them owned by the institution, not locked inside a vendor's platform.
Generate audit-ready reports for compliance, accreditation, and leadership reviews. Every AI interaction is logged, attributed, and reviewable.
From the CIO to the department chair, Perpetual gives every stakeholder the controls they need — without requiring them to coordinate on a single policy before getting started.
Give IT the visibility and control they need without becoming a bottleneck. Set guardrails once and let departments operate within them independently.
Bring AI spend under institutional control before it becomes a budget problem. Track costs by college, department, team, and project in real time.
Meet FERPA and IRB requirements without slowing faculty or administrative teams down. Compliance happens automatically, in the background.
Give faculty and researchers access to powerful AI tools with the guardrails already in place. Less friction to get started. More confidence in how data is handled.
Higher education is decentralized by design. Perpetual is built for that reality — giving institutions shared control without requiring central approval for every decision.
Departments and colleges can operate with autonomy within institution-wide guardrails. No single gatekeeper. No bottleneck. Governance that scales across a distributed structure.
Works across OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Copilot, Google, and any other AI tool in use across campus. No vendor lock-in. Governance follows the user, not the platform.
Every AI interaction contributes to an institution-owned knowledge base. Context, workflows, and institutional memory stay with the university — even as models and tools change.
FERPA, COPPA, and IRB requirements are enforced automatically. Legal and compliance teams get the evidence they need. Faculty and staff don't notice a thing.
No new infrastructure. No lengthy implementation. Perpetual sits in the path of AI usage and begins delivering governance, visibility, and control from day one.
Give IT, finance, legal, and leadership the view they need — without building custom reports. Every dashboard and audit trail is ready when they ask for it.
