Student Voice Intelligence For Retention

How it works
EdSights combines conversational AI and retention research to increase persistence. By leveraging students' preferred method of communication - texting - we continuously engage and support students throughout their academic journey.
- Proactive check-ins, every 7-10 days, identify students' greatest needs across four key persistence drivers: Academics, Finances, Engagement, and Wellness.
- 24/7 access means students can reach out to the AI mascot at any time, getting their questions answered exactly when they need.
- Student profiles are updated in real time, based on the information they share, and at-risk students are flagged for follow up from their advisor.
- Aggregated student voice insights show leadership where to make strategic changes to improve retention across the board.
