Sometimes a message is so important that you need to broadcast it across all of your communication channels. One example is the onset of the Coronavirus in early 2020. Many institutions are working proactively to prevent the spread of this illness and limit its impact on their communities. You can use our chatbots to help get the word out - here's how:

Chatbots from Ivy.ai provide a wealth of information related to interactions with students. From understanding peak usage times to identifying the most common topics discussed, administrators receive automatic reports that highlight useful information. Now, chatbot administrators can analyze their users' interactions with their chatbots using Event Tracking from Google Analytics.

We’ve all been there. You went straight to the source for the answer to your question, however, upon finding it you learned that it was outdated. From past deadlines to broken links, outdated information is rarely helpful. For those that have invested in Artificially Intelligent Chatbot technology, it can be particularly frustrating to see their Chatbot return unhelpful information to users. With Ivy.ai’s Brain Scan tool, you can say goodbye to outdated information once and for all.

I just finished giving a panel presentation at the ISSP Conference in Miami. The panel discussion, "Enabling your Super Heroes," was moderated by Jesse Boeding, an industry veteran and doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania. The other panelists were Chrissy Kintner, Assistant Vice Provost at the University of Missouri and Kimberly Laney, Director of Enrollment Management at UNC Charlotte. (Full disclosure: both Mizzou and UNCC are clients of Ivy.ai). 

As the semester cranks into full gear and students continue asking tough questions, take a look at some of the funniest ones as well! Here’s a look at some of our favorite student questions from the month of September!

As a college junior, I was very confused about my career path. Computer Science is a field rich with opportunities and choosing which company or job to explore seemed like an enormous feat. The only thing clear was my interest in exploring something exciting  and new. After scouring Handshake and LinkedIn, I attended multiple video conference interviews at large tech corporations where I stumbled around with terms like “iteration” and “object-oriented programming”. I was beginning to wonder if I’d chosen the wrong career path, when I discovered an internship posting from Ivy.ai, a higher education chatbot company.

As a woman working in artificial intelligence who enjoys playing video games and dislikes many traditionally “girly” things, I have experienced firsthand the difficulties of being a woman in a man’s world. Women make up a minuscule percentage of the artificial intelligence industry and of the computer science industry as a whole. Artificial intelligence software is meant to be used by everyone, but it is often inherently biased towards men because it is primarily created by men.

Human connection is a driving force in fields like higher education. Still, artificial intelligence is an incredible tool to boost efficiency, reduce costs, and captivate audiences. Whether students need to apply for financial aid, review admissions requirements, or access the university job board, artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of the team. In fact, AI has outwitted humans in 3 key categories: data analysis, strategy, and repetitive task performance.

This Summer is flying by! As you get ready to welcome students to campus, take a look at some of the most creative questions they have asked us over the past month.
