Frequently Asked Questions
How do you build the platform’s knowledge base beyond the academic catalog (e.g., clubs, organizations, internships, co-curriculars)?
We collaborate with institutional advising and expert teams to identify and gather the necessary resources. During the initial setup phase, we refine the customizations needed to support key team use cases. Teams typically share a list of available resources—such as URLs for websites or a PDF document containing this information (academic programs, student success resources, career resources, financial aid information, etc.). Various workflows within the system also incorporate Onet and labor market data, which fetch suggested skills, salary trends, career readiness milestones, and resources across thousands of pathways.
What institutional effort is required to stand up and maintain this content (initial lift vs. ongoing cadence, staffing estimates)?
Typical implementation requires about 10–15 hours from the advising and leadership team over the first month. Advisor AI handles approximately 90% of the setup, and once live, students and advisors can get started quickly with minimal training. The self-service tutorials and intuitive platform help accelerate onboarding cycles by weeks. Most teams have engaged students within minutes of onboarding.
Can we calibrate recommendations for our student population?
Yes. You can calibrate recommendations, emphasize priority programs, and customize nudges to align with your enrollment and student success strategy.
Can we integrate or reference existing resources (Career Major Pages, “What Can I Do with a Major In,” other web pages/feeds/APIs)?
Yes, webpages and PDFs are common. We recommend embedding institutional best practices to maximize benefits. For API sources, we would need a list to evaluate the source's readiness for integration. If other systems lack data in a suitable format, additional services may be required.
How do staff interact with the system—distinct roles/accounts, visibility into student/advisor views, and reporting?
Roles and groups are set up during the initial phase. Depending on the role's permissions, only relevant student data is displayed. Reports are visible based on access to student data and on purchased solutions.
How does this complement existing systems?
Advisor AI can integrate with existing student information systems, CRMs, and LMS environments in various ways. It’s designed to enhance, not duplicate, your existing infrastructure. Integrations are often scoped based on data and use case needs.
Do students actually use the service?
Students from over 100 programs have used the platform organically and through institutional outreach, describing the experience as "very useful" and "simple and easy to navigate."
Is the system secure and compliant? Where can I learn more?
We’ve implemented advanced encryption protocols, role-based access controls, and extensive security measures to safeguard data and student engagement at every stage. Learn more at the Trust Center.
