AI agents for university admissions

A university gets questions about hundreds of programmes: undergraduate degrees, master’s, short courses, continuing education.

Hi! I’m in sixth year. How do I apply for the psychology degree?

For undergraduate entry, you apply through the CAO. Deadlines are on the admissions page.

Are there open days?

Yes, the next date is on the website. Shall I email it to you?

Yes. Can I spend a year abroad?

The programme page doesn’t mention one. I’ll pass your question to admissions. What’s your email?

Illustrative example

Prospective students ask how to apply, what the deadlines are and which office to contact. The Skolbot chatbot and WhatsApp and Instagram agents answer from the university’s knowledge base and route each enquiry to the right faculty or office.

A very wide catalogue, a precise answer

The agent draws on your programme catalogue to answer on content, entry requirements and published career outcomes, programme by programme.

  • Undergraduate degrees
  • Master’s and joint degrees
  • Short courses and certificates
  • Continuing education and part-time study

Official procedures, without confusion

The CAO for undergraduate entry, direct application for postgraduate study, a dedicated route for international students: the agent explains which procedure applies, from your content, and points to the official platform. It never replaces the procedure.

Routing to the right office

Admissions, international office, continuing education, student life: the agent answers common questions and passes the rest to the right office, with a summary of the enquiry. Your teams receive enquiries that are already summarised.

Private universities: from first contact to record

At a private university, the agent also qualifies the applicant’s plan: target programme, current level, intended start. It sends the record to HubSpot, Salesforce, OSCAR Campus, Slate, Zoho, Odoo or another tool via API or webhook, with a call brief.

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent answer on hundreds of programmes?

Yes. It answers from the university’s knowledge base, built from your programme catalogue and pages. When information is missing, it says so and passes the question to the right office.

Does the agent answer questions about the CAO?

It explains the steps and dates you publish and points to the official platform. It never comments on an applicant’s chances of admission.

Does the chatbot answer international students?

Yes, in the language they write in, from the university’s content.

Where are conversations hosted?

In the EU. They are never used to train models and are covered by a DPA signed with the university.

How much does Skolbot cost for a university?

Pricing is on quote, depending on scope: programmes covered, agents and channels.

Read the transcript

At 11:47 pm, Léa, seventeen, is looking for a school. An advert takes her to a website, but a fifteen-field form stops her. Six hours pass: she is not in any CRM. The same night starts again with Skolbot. At 1:12 am, she asks about work placements and gets an immediate answer. She leaves her first name and number. In the morning, her record and a summary of the conversation are waiting in the CRM. Today, Léa starts her course.
