Inquiry Management

The AI captures student inquiries from your website or social ads and initiates an immediate counseling session via chat or voice.

02

Personalized Guidance

The agent analyzes the student's needs and recommends the most suitable courses, sharing syllabus PDFs and demo links instantly.

03

Enrollment Closure

Qualified students are booked for a trial class or a final call with an admissions officer, with all data synced to your CRM.

EdTech Use Case Scenario

For example, an online bootcamp can use an AI voice agent to handle "callback requests." The AI calls the student back within 60 seconds, explains the curriculum, answers "Do you offer job assistance?", and books them into an upcoming webinar, increasing lead-to-webinar conversion by 50%.
