How it works
EdSights combines conversational AI and retention research to increase persistence. By leveraging students' preferred method of communication - texting - we continuously engage and support students throughout their academic journey.

This real-time approach helps proactively identify barriers and provides scalable, increasingly personalized support as the AI learns about each student's unique needs.
