U And I
Built by students
For students
Tuned for UK university life

Uni should not feel this heavy.

We have been there. Three things make uni harder than it actually needs to be.

Information overload

Timetables, Canvas, Teams, Discord, group chats, uni websites. Six systems, none of them talk to each other, and you are somehow expected to track all of it.

Lonely in a crowd

Thousands of students around you. Still hard to find the people who get your course, your culture, your weekend.

Pulled in every direction

Deadlines, money, mental health, careers, family expectations. All at once. All competing for the same brain.

One companion. Many ways it helps.

Local intelligence · LIVE NOW

Liverpool, decoded.

Where to eat, where to study, where students like you actually spend their time. Local and specific, not generic AI guesswork.

Ask U&I
Live

Cheapest decent food near campus?

Maray on Bold Street for proper falafel under £8. Mowgli if you fancy it. Or the LJMU canteen for a £4 stitch up.

Sourced from local knowledge

I got a council tax bill but I'm a full time student.

You are exempt. Get a Council Tax Exemption Certificate from Liverpool Life and send it to the council. If everyone in your house is a full time student the whole property is exempt.

ACC-043
Study companion · LIVE NOW

Lectures and deadlines, without the panic.

Coursework triage, revision plans, and writing help that actually understands the way uni works. Less tab juggling. More clarity.

Ask U&I
Live

I have three deadlines next week and I have not started.

Start with the one worth the most marks and the one due soonest. Give me the three titles and dates and I will build you a day by day plan.

Sourced from local knowledge

What is the difference between uni halls and private halls?

University halls are allocated by the university and usually include bills and a warden team. Private halls, or PBSA, are run by companies like Unite or iQ, and you contract with them directly.

ACC-039
Student network · LIVE NOW

Find your people, faster.

Which societies are worth it, where students like you actually hang out, and how to settle in without the awkward cold start.

Ask U&I
Live

How do I actually make friends here?

Societies through the Guild are the fastest route, and joining two beats joining six. Sport socials are the easiest way in if you are not into nights out.

Sourced from local knowledge

What should I do in my first week?

Enrol, get your student ID, register with a GP, and sort your council tax exemption. Those four unlock most other things.

CAM-059
Ask anything · LIVE NOW

The questions nobody puts in a handbook.

Money, visas, health, homesickness. The things you would text a friend about rather than email an advisor.

Ask U&I
Live

Can I work part time on a student visa?

Usually up to 20 hours a week in term time on a Student visa, more in holidays, but it depends on your course level. Worth checking your BRP conditions, and our team can walk you through it.

Why not just use ChatGPT

The difference is knowing Liverpool.

General AI knows everything about nothing in particular. We know one city, properly.

U&I
  • Facts checked against a Liverpool knowledge base built this year
  • Answers sourced from students who are actually there
  • Written the way a mate would describe it
  • Says it does not know, then a human answers you live
  • Built for students in one city, by students in that city
Generic AI
  • Confident answers that are three years out of date
  • No idea which library floor is quiet at 4pm
  • Cannot tell you what a place feels like
  • Guesses when it does not know
  • You are one of millions of anonymous prompts

Ask us something a general AI would fumble.

Ask U&I
Why not just ask ChatGPT

Different tools, different jobs.

A general AI is good at general things. We only cover one city, and we only answer from checked local knowledge.

FAQ

Core features will always be free for students. We may charge for premium features later. The kind universities should fund but do not. Either way, we will tell you before anything changes.

Built by students who have lived it.

We started U And I because we kept watching people we knew get lost inside systems that were technically working. Advisors, websites, orientation programmes. All there. None of it actually helped. We are building the companion we wish we had on day one.
