The operating picture

What an agent team takes off your campus

Most of a campus's load isn't teaching — it's coordination, paperwork and chasing. Here's where agents own the busywork, mapped to how your institution actually runs, from the inquiry form to the diploma.

In demo

The Front Door

Every inquiry captured, qualified and routed — 24/7, in English or Spanish.

In demo

Records & Safety

FERPA-safe record sharing and Title IX-aware routing — verified before anything is released.

  • Identity verified before any education record is shared

  • Summer-melt and re-enrollment outreach
In your build

Back-Office & Faculty

Transcripts, credentialing and the compliance paperwork no one wants to do.

Press Run the journey — or scroll in and watch it play automatically. Every clinical action waits for a clinician.

Every high-stakes action waits for a person. Rach.Dev drafts, stages and routes — an advisor, bursar or coordinator approves.

Seven specialists, one conductor

Each agent owns one job and hands the next a complete, structured context. Atlas routes the work, enforces the human-in-the-loop gates, and writes every action to an audit log.

Atlas

Atlas is the orchestrator. It routes each case to the right specialist, carries shared student context between them, pauses for advisor or compliance approval on every high-stakes action, and records a complete, timestamped audit trail.

MarcusRecords & Compliance Gate

Records & compliance. Verifies identity before any education record is shared, separates directory from protected data, and routes Title IX or harassment disclosures straight to the right office — never sitting on a safety issue.

NoraAcademic Planner

Academic planner. Runs the degree audit, checks prerequisites and holds, and drafts a semester plan — leaving the advisor to decide and sign, not to dig through the SIS.

Student success coordination. Books advising, clears holds after approval, opens tutoring and counseling referrals, and keeps students on track with reminders and nudges across the term.

HopeAt-Risk Student Sentinel

The At-Risk Student Sentinel. Always on, reading attendance, grades and LMS engagement for every monitored student — flagging a quiet slide weeks before it becomes a withdrawal, and staging the outreach for an advisor.

Hope is advisory. It alerts and stages outreach — an advisor decides and acts. Every alert is logged with the signal that triggered it.

Live · RetentionAlways-on monitorEarly-warningAdvisory only

Ava captures patient intake by voice, then hands a structured summary to 6 downstream agents — triage, documentation, coordination, billing, knowledge and ICU monitoring — each acting on the shared context, with Atlas orchestrating and a clinician approving every clinical action.

Ava starts the workflow.

A knowledge layer that knows its limits

Iris answers prospects, students and staff from your approved sources only. Every answer is cited — and a regulated question (legal, immigration, clinical) is always handed to a licensed professional, never answered.

Try a question

IrisStudent view

Hi, I'm Iris. Ask me about admissions, registration, financial aid or campus policies — I'll always cite my source.

Iris provides information only — never legal, immigration or clinical advice. Anything regulated is routed to a licensed professional, and protected records are shared only after identity is verified.

A knowledge layer that knows its limits — questions and answers

What's the priority deadline to apply for fall financial aid?
The priority FAFSA deadline for the upcoming fall term is March 1. Submitting by then keeps you eligible for institutional grants and work-study, which are awarded until funds run out. You can check your application status anytime in the student portal, and I can remind you a week before the deadline.
¿Cómo verifico mi identidad para hablar de mi cuenta?
Para proteger su expediente bajo FERPA, primero confirmo su identidad: necesito su número de estudiante y su fecha de nacimiento. Una vez verificados, puedo hablar de su saldo, sus retenciones y sus pasos de inscripción. Sin esa verificación, solo puedo compartir información pública del catálogo.
I'm on an F-1 visa — will dropping a class affect my status?
That's an immigration question, so I won't advise on it myself — getting it wrong could put your status at risk. I've routed you to a Designated School Official (DSO) in the international student office, who can review your full situation. Please don't drop the class until you've spoken with them.

Governance, not just guardrails

The controls that let an institution actually deploy agents — enforced in the system, not promised on a slide.

Human in the loopEvery high-stakes action — admission offers, registration, hold clearance, Title IX intake — waits for an advisor or officer to approve. No agent takes it alone.
Complete audit trailEvery action, hand-off and record access is logged with a timestamp, the agent, the source and the approver — exportable on demand.
FERPA-aligned by designIdentity verified before any education record is shared, minimum-necessary access, role-based permissions, and directory data kept separate from protected records.
Grounded with sourcesAnswers come only from your approved knowledge sources and cite them. No open-web guessing, and never legal, immigration or clinical advice.
No vendor lock-inStandards-based connectors to your SIS, LMS and CRM, and your data stays yours. Turn an agent off and your systems keep running.

The problem, in numbers

  • In a national survey, roughly 59% of college students said financial stress had made them consider dropping out — a quiet, addressable risk an always-on agent can surface early. Ellucian Student Voice Report, 2024
  • Georgia State pairs ~800 daily risk alerts with human advisors and has reported higher graduation rates and effectively closed achievement gaps across race, income and first-gen status. Georgia State University, GPS Advising / Student Success
  • About 10–40% of college-intending students never enroll the fall after admission ("summer melt"), with higher rates for low-income students — and proactive, personalized outreach measurably helps. EdResearch for Action (Castleman & Page), Summer Melt brief

Figures above are external benchmarks and pilot targets, not guarantees — we validate every number on your own data before you rely on it. Monitoring agents are advisory: they alert and stage, an advisor acts.

Start with one office. Prove it. Then scale.

We stand up a single workflow on your existing SIS, LMS and CRM, show the audit trail and the outcomes, and expand only once your team trusts it.

01
Scope one workflow

Pick the highest-pain workflow — admissions advising, financial-aid follow-up or at-risk monitoring — and we map it to your systems.

02
Pilot in your environment

Agents run on your SIS, LMS and CRM with an advisor in the loop and a full audit trail, in weeks not semesters.

03
Measure, then expand

Review the outcomes on your own data, then roll the agent team out office by office.
