Prepared for the event

One Assistant. A different briefing for every event.

Before an open day or recruitment expo, give the assistant event-specific instructions, relevant approved information and a clear goal for each conversation. It can be tailored to the audience without starting from scratch.

Give it event context

Tell the assistant where it will be, who is attending and which questions matter most, from local open days to international recruitment.

Add event-ready knowledge

Include approved event schedules, featured courses, application guidance and useful links alongside your existing knowledge base.

Set conversation goals

Guide visitors toward useful next steps, suitable follow-up questions and consent-based enquiries for the team to handle later.

Different events, different focus Open day Campus visits and course advice International expo Study pathways and languages Careers fair Entry options and follow-up

Event-specific briefings and multiple assistant profiles are proposed capabilities. This demo currently uses one shared knowledge service, without configurable event profiles.

Better self-service · More time for people

More answers for everyone.
More time for your team.

Help people find answers to everyday questions without having to contact the support team. That can reduce repetitive enquiries and give staff more time for situations that need personal attention.

Answers when people need them

Make useful answers available to visitors, prospective applicants and existing contacts at any time.

Fewer repetitive questions

Make common information easier to find before it becomes another support enquiry.

Focus on what matters

Give staff more room to handle complex or sensitive enquiries that benefit from a human response.

Fits the systems you already use.

Keep your knowledge

Change your CRM. Keep your knowledge. The assistant can draw on approved articles and documents without tying your content to a particular platform.

Speak their language

Let visitors ask questions in their preferred language, using the same trusted knowledge as everyone else.

Connect conversations

Support staff can receive conversation history in the case-management system they already use, with integration and privacy controls in place.

Independent AskNode concept. A production service would require testing, access controls, privacy safeguards and ongoing content review.
