Every Student Scenario Handled.
Exactly Your Way.

Every Skill You Build Has Four Parts
Trigger: A plain-language description of the moment the skill applies, such as a student asking what pre-requisites are required to enroll in a certain program.
Actions: Focused instructions for qualifying, routing, escalating, or setting up the next step, written the way you would brief a new staff member.
Tools: The configured actions the agent can take from inside the conversation, inserted with an @ mention so the outcome is explicit rather than improvised.
Availability: Hard channel, schedule, and date-range controls that decide whether a skill is eligible to run at all, set and customized by your team.

Customized To Your Unique Institution
Channel by Channel: Turn a skill on independently for Messenger, SMS, Email, Voice, and WhatsApp, so voice callers and chat visitors can follow different paths.
Schedule in Your Time Zone: Define business and after-hours behavior using your institution's actual calendar.
Date-Bounded Availability: Give seasonal and temporary skills a start and end date, and they retire themselves when the window closes.

Test the Skill Before a Student Ever Sees It
Channel Simulation: Run Messenger, SMS, email, and voice conversations against a draft skill in the Agent Test Console, with no test contacts and no live channel required.
Response Details: See which Custom Skill matched, which ones were skipped and why, and which configured action would have run.
Safe Tool Calls: The console simulates tool behavior rather than executing it, so no records are created and no messages are sent while you adjust the trigger and re-run.
Testing is where a skill stops being an assumption. You watch the matching and non-matching paths, tighten the wording, and publish once the agent behaves the way your institution expects.
