UNIC AI Learning Centre Now Offers Agent Automation Services to Departments, Centres & Researchers
The University of Nicosia’s AI Learning Centre (AILC) is now offering Agent Automation Services to UNIC departments, research centres, and individual researchers. If you have ever wished that routine digital tasks could simply take care of themselves, this new service is designed for you.
What’s an Agent Platform—and why does it matter?
An agentic platform (such as n8n, Zapier, and similar tools) enables users to link applications, gather or transform data, trigger actions automatically, and integrate AI—without the need for advanced technical skills.
Think of it as digital assistance for everyday research and administration: you set up intelligent workflows that can monitor, summarise, sort, and notify you about what matters most.
The AI Learning Centre has already been using these agentic tools internally to power several real-world projects across the University, blending automation, data collection, and AI summarisation.
How we can support your unit/centre/department:
- Stay effortlessly up to date: Let an agent keep an eye on websites, reports, or policy updates and receive concise summaries when something changes.
- Save time on information gathering: Build automated digests that collect and summarise the latest research, news, or regulations in your area—delivered directly to your inbox.
- Keep everything organised: Automatically archive updates, summaries, and references so you can easily retrieve them when preparing reports, funding bids, or papers.
- Do more with less effort: Even small teams can launch practical automation pilots—no coding required—to eliminate repetitive digital work and focus on what matters.
Two Example Projects:
1. Building an Automated Maritime Regulatory Watchdog with n8n – A Workflow Report
(click here to read our post about the Maritime workflow)
A multi-workflow agent that discovers new IMO publications, extracts relevant information, and uses AI to create clear summaries and action points. It also monitors static convention pages (such as MARPOL) for changes and automatically generates summaries of what has been updated. All findings are stored for easy access and shared with stakeholders via email.
2. n8n Automated Crypto News
(click here to read our post about the Crypto workflow)
A scheduled agentic workflow that gathers crypto-related news from a range of trusted sources, analyses it with AI to identify the most significant developments, and produces a daily news brief complete with short summaries and insights.
Who Should Get In Touch?
- Academic and administrative units that need reliable monitoring of policies, news, or sector updates
- Research groups that want automated literature or news summaries
- Centres interested in AI-assisted briefings, alerts, and digital archives for improved reporting and visibility
