The Problem

Career services can't scale 1-on-1 advising to every student

The ratio is stacked against you — 1 advisor for every 500+ students. Office hours run 9 to 5, but students job search evenings and weekends. Generic career resources sit untouched.

Students who need help the most are the least likely to ask for it. By the time someone reaches out, weeks of momentum have been lost.

“We knew students were struggling. We just couldn't get to all of them before they gave up.”

How It Works

From reactive office hours to proactive AI guidance in three steps

Agent Connects to Your Systems

Syncs with your SIS, LMS, CRM, and the Prentus platform. Understands each student’s academics, job search history, and career goals.

Proactive Outreach, Not Waiting

The AI reaches out first with personalized plans, follow-up reminders, and application tips. Students get help before they think to ask.

Advisors Focus Where It Matters

At-risk alerts surface students who need human intervention. Your team spends time on high-impact conversations, not routine check-ins.

Personalized Guidance

Weekly career plans built for each student

Every student gets a personalized weekly plan based on their pipeline, goals, and upcoming deadlines. Tasks are prioritized, progress is tracked, and the plan adjusts as their job search evolves.

  • Plans built from each student's actual job search data
  • Career Points earned for completing weekly tasks
  • AI adjusts priorities when new applications or interviews are added

Proactive Outreach

Follow-ups and nudges before students fall behind

The AI monitors student activity and sends timely nudges — follow-up reminders, application tips, and re-engagement messages. When a student goes quiet, the agent acts before an advisor needs to.

  • Context-aware nudges based on application timelines
  • Drafted follow-up emails students can edit and send
  • Re-engages inactive students automatically before escalating to advisors

Advisor Intelligence

At-risk alerts so your team focuses where it matters

The AI monitors engagement signals across the platform. When students show signs of disengagement, advisors get prioritized alerts with suggested next steps.

  • Risk levels based on login frequency, applications, and goal completion
  • One-click actions: send nudge, schedule call, or adjust goals
  • Caseload summaries show who needs attention right now

Common questions about AI Career Agents

How does the AI Career Agent differ from a chatbot?

Unlike a chatbot that waits for students to ask questions, the AI Career Agent proactively reaches out with personalized plans, follow-up reminders, and re-engagement nudges. It connects to your SIS, LMS, and CRM to understand each student’s full context and act on it.

What systems does it integrate with?

The AI Career Agent integrates with your Student Information System (SIS), Learning Management System (LMS), CRM, and the Prentus platform. It syncs academic data, job search history, and career goals to personalize every interaction.

Can we customize the AI’s tone and messaging?

Yes. You can customize the AI’s tone, messaging, and branding to match your institution. Students interact with your career services brand, not a third-party tool.

The AI monitors engagement signals like login frequency, application activity, and goal completion. When a student shows signs of disengagement, advisors receive prioritized alerts with suggested next steps such as sending a nudge, scheduling a call, or adjusting goals.
