GURU – AI Student Concierge for Higher Education
A 24/7 Conversational Front Door for Students
See how GURU helps students ask questions, understand what needs attention, and take action across money, classes, support, career, and degree planning.
One Place to Ask, Understand, and Act
Today’s student experience is often spread across different systems and menus. GURU brings key parts of the student journey into one experience.
- Unified Dashboard: Bring money, classes, support, career, and degree planning into one view.
- Natural Language Interface: Let students ask questions like “Am I still on track?” or “Find tutoring that fits my schedule.”
- Proactive Intervention: Identify potential issues early and guide students toward the next action.
- Personalized Next Steps: Give each student a more relevant “What should I do next?” experience based on their needs.
Move From Reactive Support to Proactive Action
GURU goes beyond showing information. It understands context and helps students act on what they see.
- Contextual Reasoning: Understand why something needs attention, not just show a balance, status, or task.
- Agentic Execution: Help students complete actions, including finding and registering for classes, within the experience.
- 360-Degree Student View: Bring together academic records, course engagement, and advisor interactions.
- Real-Time Engagement: Nudge students and surface issues to advisors when support may be needed.

- Unified Data: Bring structured and unstructured student information together.
- AI Refinement: Prepare and connect data to support insights such as retention and graduation trends.
