AI agents for business school admissions
At a business school, an applicant compares the undergraduate degree, the master’s and the MSc programmes, wonders whether to start in first year through the CAO or progress from a PLC course, and wants to know if the degree includes a work placement.
Hi Olivia, you asked for our business degree brochure. Any questions I can help with?
I’m finishing a QQI Level 5 business course at a PLC college. Can I get into your degree?
That’s the progression route. Published steps: CAO application, then the QQI results you need.
Does the degree include a work placement?
The school publishes a work placement in third year. Shall I send the details?
Yes please, and I’d like to talk to someone.

Applications, assessments and deadlines
Many schools recruit through the CAO, their own application form or a shared assessment with other schools. The agent explains each step (application, tests, interview, offer) as you describe it and always points to the official platform to apply. It never promises an offer.
Work placements, fees and funding
Work placements, finding a host company, fees, scholarships, student grants where your programmes qualify: these questions often decide an application. The agent answers from what you publish. When the answer depends on the applicant’s situation, it offers a conversation with the team.
A brief ready for follow-up
The CRM receives the entry route, programme, campus, study mode and intake, the questions already answered and the level of interest. The team knows who to call first and where to pick up the conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the agent answer questions about tuition fees?
Yes, from the information you publish. When the answer depends on the applicant’s profile, it offers a conversation with the team.
Does the agent handle several campuses?
Yes. It identifies the campus the applicant wants and passes it to the CRM, so the lead reaches the right team.
Does the agent answer international applicants?
Yes, in the applicant’s language. It presents English-taught tracks, dual degrees and exchange semesters as you describe them.
Can the agent get our entry tests and interviews wrong?
It answers only from your knowledge base. If there is no published answer, it says so and passes the question to your team. It always points to the official application platform.
