The Problem

What Happens When You Can't Act Fast Enough

Institutions with AI agents are engaging students instantly, attracting, and keeping them. Schools without AI are falling behind.

Students choose institutions that respond faster

Staff burnout accelerates while goals get further out of reach

Every drop in engagement costs you revenue

The AI platform for higher ed

Built for Connection Across the Student Lifecycle

Keep every student supported with specialized AI agents that take action—answering inquiries instantly, personalizing engagement at scale, and being there from first inquiry through graduation.

For Enrollment + Admissions

Support applicants through every step—from inquiry to enrollment.

Traditional CRMs require staff to manually respond to inquiries, review applications, and follow up with admitted students. Element451’s AI agents handle these jobs autonomously:

Answer prospect inquiries 24/7

across chat, SMS, email, and voice—no inquiry goes unanswered

Conduct application first reads

and score against your rubric automatically

Drive admitted student yield

with personalized communications and proactive follow-ups

Guide application completion

by detecting where students are stuck and nudging them forward

Clayton State University achieved 7% enrollment growth and cut staff workload 75% with AI agents.

For Inbound Engagement

Handle every inquiry instantly, on every channel.

Traditional CRMs log inquiries and require staff to respond manually. Element451’s AI agents reply to students the moment they reach out:

Engage students on your website

with instant, personalized responses

Answer inquiries 24/7

via live chat, text, email, and voice— freeing up staff for more efforts

Route high-intent leads

to your team immediately when urgency or enrollment signals are detected

Guide program exploration

through natural language search that converts browsing into inquiries

Cypress College saw a 300% surge in event registrations with instant AI-powered engagement.

For Outbound Marketing + Communications

Create personalized campaigns at scale without manual work.

Traditional CRMs require staff to build every campaign, write every message, and manually segment audiences. Element451’s AI agents automate the entire process:

Build campaign strategies

with AI that defines objectives, audiences, and messaging

Create multi-channel communications

for email, SMS, and more, all brand-aligned

Construct automated workflows

that trigger based on student behavior and stage

Generate landing pages in minutes

with CTAs, forms, and content ready to publish

TSTC increased conversion rates from 25% to 90% and reduced cost per application from $424 to $81.

For Student Success

Support students proactively throughout their entire journey.

Traditional CRMs can't identify at-risk students or intervene proactively. Element451’s AI agents monitor, engage, and support students before problems escalate:

Intervene with at-risk students

based on grades, LMS engagement, and behavioral signals

Send proactive advising reminders

about registration, deadlines, graduation requirements, and more

Be prepared for advising appointments

with AI-powered insights and scheduling

Promote term-to-term retention

by engaging students showing signs of disengagement

Richard Bland College slashed application processing time from 117 days to instant with AI agents.
