Thousands of Student Questions, Policies & Planning Signals β€” No Unified AI-Powered Academic Intelligence

Problem Context

Repetitive Service Load Student questions repeatedly handled by advising and service teams
Policy Search Friction Staff searching across catalogs, handbooks, portals, and department pages
Planning Friction Course and advising decisions requiring cross-department follow-up

The client is a multi-school university serving more than 18,000 undergraduate and graduate students across business, technology, health sciences, liberal arts, and professional programs. Student services span admissions, academic advising, registrar operations, financial aid, course planning, and campus support.

Students and staff were working across the student information system, LMS, university website, policy documents, program catalogs, advising notes, knowledge bases, and departmental spreadsheets. Routine questions were repeatedly escalated, advisors spent time assembling context before appointments, and academic leaders lacked a consistent view of course demand and service bottlenecks.

Core Frictions

  • Academic policies, program rules, FAQs, and student-service content spread across disconnected sources
  • Advising and service teams repeatedly answering routine student questions
  • No trusted way to query university policies and program information in plain English
  • Advisors spending time assembling student context before each meeting
  • Course-demand and registration pressure difficult to identify early
  • Admissions, registrar, advising, departments, and IT working across separate systems
