Who we serve: Higher Education

Building Student Relationships that Matter

Americans are losing confidence in higher education.

The bottom has fallen out of trust. Since 2015, the percentage of Americans who have “very little” confidence in higher education has doubled.*

Higher education thrives when the student and the institution benefit from an enduring relationship. This win-win has been all but impossible — until now.

People are questioning the value of college degrees.

Increased competition and online learning make it even harder for institutions to differentiate. It is difficult to gain significant growth. Yet, every senior higher education leader knows their board demands it.

Today’s students want — expect — better experiences.

Current student engagement approaches do not provide the empathy and guidance required to create quality experiences that lead to lasting relationships. As a result, institutions do not capture the value of students throughout their learning journey.

Maryville University employs Conversational Engagement™ to help Speech Language Pathology students find the program that suits them best.

Introducing Conversational Engagement™

Better student experiences through better conversations.
We’re creating custom, conversational-AI platforms that simplify the complexities of higher education. Now, institutions can connect with people on a profoundly personal level.

Insight-driven and AI-powered, Brado’s Conversational Engagement™ Platform helps students get the experience they want and helps institutions generate more value from students throughout their education journey.

We don’t know what we don’t know (yet).
When it comes to purpose-built AI, we’ve merely scratched the surface of what’s coming — and what’s possible — for higher education. We’re here to discover what’s next by creating custom platforms that make it easier for everyone to continue to learn.

That’s where you come in.

Maryville University in Saint Louis uses our platform to help their students navigate the complexities of higher education. The platform extends the reach of the Maryville staff to improve student experiences.

Higher education flourishes when it’s able to capitalize upon enduring relationships with students.

Students are demanding more from their educational experience.

With the power of Conversational Engagement™, 
we have the tools to create:

Leading with empathy and insight, we help you understand exactly what people are dreaming of, or struggling with, when it comes to higher education. What is motivating them? What programs are they interested in? What are they looking for in an institution?

We then tailor our Conversational Engagement™ Platform to build a personal digital assistant for every individual user. This purpose-built AI enables you to provide direct and specific answers to what people are asking in that moment. Whenever. Wherever.

By combining insight with machine learning, we help institutions harness high-quality data that improves with every interaction. With this information, you can engage each individual user to streamline the application process, attract qualified students, connect with enrollment advisors, improve matriculation— all through the generative power of conversational AI. 
Instead of trying to squeeze into someone else’s software system, we help you design, create, and manage your own platform — built to suit your specific needs. By collaborating this way, we provide you with clear and immediate access to your own data. With direct access to your data, you can take charge of your own resources and relationships. You will see exactly where and how you generate value.

Together, we will continue to find new ways generative AI and our Conversational Engagement™ Platform can enrich higher education.

When it comes to purpose-built AI, we’ve merely scratched the surface of what’s possible for higher education. 


We’re here to discover what’s next by creating custom platforms that make it easier for everyone to continue to learn.
