Education
Admissions, advising, and student services that scale
AI agents for K-12, higher ed, and online learning. Handle admissions inquiries, financial aid questions, advising, and re-enrollment in 26+ languages.
Education agents that ship in weeks, not quarters
Schools, universities, and online learning providers face a hard inbound problem: thousands of prospective and current students asking the same hundred questions about admissions, financial aid, course selection, and registration — across email, web chat, phone, and WhatsApp, in dozens of languages, twenty-four hours a day. Hiring keeps up at orientation but not in October at 2am when an international applicant in Lagos has a deadline tomorrow. SmartSphere Technologies deploys AI voice and chat agents that handle the full lifecycle from inquiry to alumni engagement, with FERPA-aligned controls and integrations into Workday Student, Banner, and PowerSchool.

How SmartSphere Technologies fits into the student lifecycle
Most institutions split the student lifecycle across systems and teams that don’t share a conversational layer: admissions runs Slate, registrar runs Banner or Workday, advising runs Salesforce, and IT keeps it all glued together. SmartSphere Technologies sits across that stack as a single front door for the student. The same agent that answers a prospective student’s question about transfer credit at midnight can answer their financial aid question in March, help them register for fall classes in July, and re-engage them as alumni five years later — same memory, same tone, same compliance posture. FERPA-aligned access controls determine what each conversation can see, and warm transfers carry full context to advisors so students don’t have to repeat themselves. International recruitment finally gets first-class multilingual coverage instead of business-hours staffing.
Integrations for education
Native connectors that read and write the systems your team already lives in. Custom integrations are available for proprietary or legacy stacks.
- Workday Student
- Banner
- PowerSchool
- Salesforce Education Cloud
- Slate
See the full list on the integrations page.
26+ languages, native
Education customers don’t live in one language. The same agent that answers in English handles Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Portuguese, and 22 more — with locale-aware tone and accents — without a separate deployment per language.
