Risely AI : AI agents automating student success and retention workflows
Hi Producthunt! :wave:
I’m Sadia, co-founder and CPO of Risely AI :woman-raising-hand::skin-tone-4:
When I was a student at UC Berkeley, I faced the harsh reality of having all my financial aid withdrawn overnight. My parents made just a bit too much to qualify. I juggled three campus jobs simultaneously just to stay enrolled, and advisor support was nearly impossible to access, with appointments booked weeks in advance.
My story isn’t unique: 1 in 3 college students drop out due to inadequate student support, costing universities an average of $34 million each year in lost tuition.
We created Risely’s AI Advisor to tackle this challenge head-on:
🚩 Proactively Flag At-Risk Students before problems become critical
📨 Automate Personalized Outreach, freeing staff to focus on impactful interactions
🔎 Instantly Answer Critical Questions about students, courses, and workloads
📝 Generate Tailored Intervention Plans within seconds
But that’s only the start. Risely’s vision is to power an AI-native ERP for universities, revolutionizing workflows across enrollment management, admissions, advising, research administration, and beyond. This isn’t just about streamlining tasks; it’s about enabling colleges to boost enrollment, retention, and revenue, significantly expanding their institutional impact.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
👉 What’s a process you’ve experienced at your college that left you super confused and frustrated?
Your feedback is a gift, drop a note in the comments and let us know what you think!
