Institutional program matching: Receive personalized major and program recommendations based on each institution’s unique offerings.

This was a wonderful program to use with my two College Freshmen classes in guiding them with a tool for early course selections and choice of major. It was 'user friendly' in its initial set up and students were able to be guided into course selection, areas of concentration and potential majors; and were given the opportunity at the end to discuss live with an advisor.

We’re using this as a way of increasing the size of our funnel into our enrollment pathways. Students get an idea of what they want to do and then we share that information with our outreach team .... And when I ran into mistakes with the platform recommendations, I was able to contact the team and they made sure the information was updated very quickly. I can’t do that with any of the other ones.

Connect and Engage

Build momentum and ensure students are supported 24/7.

Institution-specific AI assistance: Provide 24/7 answers grounded in campus policies, programs, and resources—without generic responses.
Smart prompts and preparation: Guide students toward the right questions, next steps, and advisor conversations at the right time.

Comprehensive guardrails: Extensive testing and safeguards in place reduce bias, mitigate operational risk, and build trust over time.
Transparency: Answers cite their sources (where applicable), so students and advising teams understand what information to trust.

Human support and connections made easier.

Appointment preparation: Easily review recent chatbot questions, exploration activities, and progress notes before a conversation begins.
One-stop-shop care hub: Centralize messages, tasks, and guidance in one place, so all students and staff stay aligned and informed.
Advisor connection: Help students bring their exploration, questions, and plans into a more productive conversation with a human advisor.
Smart resource connections: Ensure every student is connected to the right advisor at the right time, without guesswork or handoffs.

I shared the demo with one of our campus partners, and I thought I was going to have to reach across the table and pick his jaw back up, because he was just amazed by it. It was one of those things where he was just like, I didn’t know it could be this specific, and this specialized, and not just another customer service chatbot.

Optimize and Report

Empower teams with clarity and insight to find their peak.

Unified student view: See student chatbot questions, pathway activity, team notes, milestones, and next steps in one place.
Appointment preparation: Easily review recent chatbot questions, exploration activities, and progress notes before a conversation begins.
Cohort management: Organize students by program, major, engagement level, milestone completion, or institutional priority.
Team collaboration: Coordinate notes, referrals, communications, and follow-up across advising and student-support teams.

Identify what efforts work the best. Insights that drive transformation.

Engagement visibility: See which students are exploring programs, using advising support, and completing key milestones.
Cohort reporting: Easily filter, review and export student activity by program, major, milestones, time periods, or custom groups.
Student engagement insights: Understand how students are using advising resources and where additional support may be needed.
Continuous improvement: View student chatbot engagement patterns to refine communication, campus resources, and advising strategies.

It's this continuous cycle of experimentation versus waiting 12 months to see results. Teams can do outreach within the first few weeks and start iterating within 3 months. If you embed this into an advising appointment, you can see where students are getting stuck within days and then ask: do we have a workshop on that? That's powerful."

No. Advisor AI is designed to strengthen and scale the support only people can provide. The platform helps students explore options, answer routine questions, organize next steps, and prepare for deeper conversations. Advisors, career professionals, enrollment teams, faculty, and student success staff remain essential for interpretation, judgment, relationship-building, reassurance, and support through complex decisions.

Advisor AI supports students from first interest through academic exploration, advising, career planning, resource connection, and ongoing engagement. Institutions can configure pathways around enrollment, academic advising, career services, student success, and other priorities.

Begin with a recurring student need that has clear ownership, a defined first population, and observable early value. The first use case should be specific enough to guide configuration, communication, and evaluation.

The Advisor AI team works with institutional partners to configure the platform around approved programs, policies, resources, pathways, milestones, and priority use cases. The goal is to reflect the institution's language, goals, and support ecosystem rather than provide a generic student experience.

Advisor AI brings student exploration, questions, interests, milestones, notes, and engagement signals into a clearer view. Teams can use that context to coordinate outreach, prepare for conversations, connect students to resources, and identify where additional support may be needed.

No. The integration approach depends on the selected use case, required information, institutional goals, and existing systems.
