AI Advising Automation for Colleges

Let your AI agent review transcripts, recommend courses, and prepare student progress reports—so you can focus on real advising, not admin work.

You spend hours digging through Banner or PeopleSoft, updating Excel sheets, and emailing students about missing credits. As an academic advisor, you juggle paperwork instead of helping students. Important graduation requirements get missed, and students wait too long for answers.

An AI agent that handles student course planning, graduation checks, and academic advising prep for college advisors.

What this replaces

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In higher education, academic advisors often spend 8-10 hours each week pulling records from Banner, updating spreadsheets, and cross-referencing degree audits. The manual process of checking graduation status, planning courses, and preparing for meetings is tedious and error-prone. Instead of guiding students, advisors get stuck in administrative work, risking mistakes and delayed support.

If you keep ignoring it
