Stand out in the recruitment process.
Be different.
Meet prospective students where they are:
on their phones, texting.
The college search process is overwhelming for today's students. In the age of information, convenience, and relevance are crucial to maintain interest.
Students value connection but often can't ask important questions as stealth visitors, where 60% of decisions are made (RNL annual report). Engagement and personalization are key, yet opportunities are limited.
Hi There AI solves this with the first truly conversational SMS-based AI assistant, providing a fun, engaging way for prospects to learn about your university, which leads to higher matriculation to enrollment.
