Universities serve thousands of students every day, many of whom need answers to the same recurring questions — from course registration and financial aid, to office hours and campus services. Staff are often overwhelmed, leading to long wait times and frustrated students.

Dante AI AI chatbots help solve this challenge by providing instant answers to common questions, guiding students through processes, and offering direct scheduling links for appointments with advisors or administrative staff.

How AI Chatbots Support Student Services

With Dante AI, you can build an AI chatbot that:

  • Responds instantly to FAQs such as course registration deadlines, tuition payment options, and exam schedules.
  • Links directly to university scheduling systems so students can book advising or administrative appointments without waiting in line.
  • Logs all interactions, so staff can see what students are asking most often and adjust resources accordingly.

This ensures students get accurate information on demand while university staff focus on higher-level support.

If you’d like more information, you can book a meeting with us or contact us at support@dante-ai.com.
