only ask of the school: test the agent

In short

A business school maintained a HubSpot chatbot by hand, with conflicting sources and a marketing team that had no time to spare.

Skolbot compared the content, resolved the discrepancies and handled the entire configuration of the Web Agent.

All the school had to do was test the agent and give feedback in the platform.

The agent was live 2 weeks after signing.

A fast launch hides the work

Many tools promise a chatbot live in 24 hours. In practice, the school writes the scripts and corrects its own content, and the project often lasts 6 months. This business school had a chatbot built in HubSpot. Its marketing team no longer had time to maintain it.

The decision trees and scripts took in-house writing and tuning. On top of that, the website, the brochures and the chatbot’s answers contradicted each other.

Marketing carries the whole project

Behind the chatbot, the school had to write the flows, configure the answers and sort out conflicting information.

Hand-built scripts

Every decision tree took work in HubSpot. The team also had to keep the scripts up to date as things changed.

Sources that disagree

Tuition fees, the required English test and the start date varied from one document to another. The right version had to be found before answering.

No time to spare

Marketing had to absorb this preparation on top of its other work. The launch depended on how much time the team could give it.

Skolbot prepares the sources and configures the agent

The Skolbot team handled the content preparation and the entire set-up of the Web Agent.

  1. 01

    Read and compare every source.

    Skolbot read the website pages, the brochures, the FAQ and the internal documents. Every piece of information was extracted, then compared with the other sources.

  2. 02

    Resolve discrepancies between sources.

    One page showed tuition fees of €8,900, against €9,400 in the current brochure. Skolbot kept the current brochure’s figure and applied it everywhere. The comparison continues after launch.

  3. 03

    Configure the agent and keep HubSpot.

    Skolbot did all the configuration, with no scripts for marketing to write. HubSpot remains the school’s CRM and still receives the leads.

  4. 04

    Have the school test the agent.

    The team tested the agent and left its feedback directly in the platform. Skolbot applied every piece of feedback. That was the only thing asked of the school.
