The education inquiry problem - and how AI solves it
Students expect instant answers. Most institutions still reply in hours or days.
Prospective students researching universities and colleges often contact five or more institutions simultaneously. The one that responds first - with accurate, personalised information - gets the application. The ones that respond hours later don't.
TextNow's AI chatbots respond to every admissions inquiry instantly, 24/7 - across WhatsApp, Instagram, and web chat. They answer common questions, qualify student interest, and route serious prospects directly to admissions officers - with everything the officer needs to have a productive first conversation.
For enrolled students, TextNow handles support queries - exam schedules, fee payments, academic calendar, administrative requests - automatically. Your student services team focuses on the 10–25% of cases that genuinely need human intervention.
