Education & training

Enrolment that doesn't depend on one person's inbox.

Learners arrive with a question: which level, which schedule, can I try a class first. Then come placement, forms, payment plans, timetables that change every term, attendance, progress notes and re-enrolment, usually spread across a web form, a spreadsheet, a calendar and a payment app.

Where time goes

A learner's year, and where it sticks.

Private schools, tutoring centres, language and music schools, driving schools and online course businesses all run some version of this loop.

  1. Inquiry

    "What level is right for my daughter?" arrives by form, phone and WhatsApp, often in the evening. Replies wait for the morning, and some families have already picked someone else.

  2. Placement or trial

    A teacher's time goes on the same intake questions before anyone knows whether the learner fits.

  3. Enrolment

    Forms, waivers and photo consents go out by email. Someone chases the missing ones by hand, one family at a time.

  4. Schedule and payment

    Timetables change, make-up sessions get booked in a notebook, and term fees or payment plans are reminded by whoever remembers.

  5. Progress

    Parents ask how it's going. Notes live in each teacher's head or their own document.

  6. Re-enrolment

    Next term's sign-up starts from scratch, and nobody notices who didn't come back until classes start.

What we'd build

One fix per sticking point.

Student records come with rules. In the US many schools fall under FERPA, and minors need a parent's consent before you message them. We keep records in your systems, not ours, and design messages to go to parents. That's a design choice, not legal advice.

A week with it working

Registration week.

Sunday night, a parent asks about beginner guitar on WhatsApp. The intake assistant asks age and experience, offers two trial slots and books one. Monday, the welcome email goes out with the forms. By Wednesday two forms are still missing, so a reminder goes, then a second. Friday's term invoices are drafted from the class list, and you approve them in one pass. The office spends the week on families, not follow-up.

A bright

On the rebuilt Carlos Ceramics Dental Lab website, launching soon, we wrote step-by-step guides for the lab's customers: four ways to send a case, how to pack it, and how to connect each of 8 intraoral scanner systems. Those are onboarding pages. A school's "first day", "joining online class" and "how to pay" pages work the same way.

In our own multi-agent system, nothing an agent learns reaches its instructions until a reviewer approves it. A training bot for your staff would follow the same rule: it only teaches what you've signed off.
