We’ve all realized the benefits of artificial intelligence at one point or another. According to Forbes, chatbots help users get answers to their questions on demand, without the need to wait for an available representative.

Ivy.ai announces free app to help colleges and universities return to campus

On Thursday, Ivy.ai announced #CampusClear, a free self-screen app designed to help colleges and universities return to campus safely in the fall. The app, which prompts all students, faculty, staff, and visitors to complete a once-daily single-question survey, provides users with a FastPass for accessing campus, and returns real-time insights to campus administrators.

New Changes to Brain Scan from Ivy.ai

We're excited to announce several significant updates to Brain Scan, a search utility included with every Ivy.ai Chatbot that helps identify and update outdated information in your Chatbot's brain. Our hope is that with these updates, it will be easier than ever for administrators to ensure that their Chatbot's knowledge is always up-to-date.

We Asked Student Employees How Our Chatbot Would Have Benefited Them - Here's What They Said.

Higher Education exists to shape the minds of learners, but in many ways, the learners shape the industry. We see this all the time when institutions add new programs to accommodate aspiring professionals, or when colleges begin offering online degrees to appeal to students who value remote learning. As schools prepare for the looming enrollment cliff, it's especially important that they examine ways to improve the student experience at scale. Educators must ask what it is that students desire, which processes can be improved, and how they can combine those elements to build something better.

SMS Texting from Ivy.ai Helps Uncover Student Intentions

Forecasting: it's essential to every business, and that includes institutions in the business of educating students. From enrollment to event management, a clearer picture of your students' intentions helps to facilitate better planning. One such example is front-and-center in the wake of COVID-19 closures and contingency plans. Will prospective students still attend in the Fall? What if the campus remains closed, and the classroom settings remain online? Do students value the flexibility, or is the on-campus experience simply too important?

How an AI Chatbot from Ivy.ai Aids Operational Continuity in Times of Crisis

Ivy.ai offers schools a free COVID-19 Chatbot and human-to-human Live Chat platform

As schools work to combat the spread of COVID-19, many have decided to cease in-person operations.

These varied decisions all have far-reaching implications, and raise a lot of important questions for students.

When will school re-open?
