Managing international direct applications is challenging for universities

Small university teams can't keep up with a high volume of direct applicants. Without fast answers and follow-up, direct applicants stall, go quiet after an offer or accept elsewhere.

Small admissions team
  • Check documents
  • Answer questions
  • Follow up on offers

Existing solutions come at a high cost and aren't effective

Hiring more staff
Slow to hire and train
Idle between intakes
Relying on study abroad agencies
High commission on every enrolment
Expensive to manage and train
Using CRMs
Don't save the team time
Often add more work

Our elves enable your team to convert leads into enrolled students

Our AI agents take on the routine work of converting a lead into an enrolment: answering questions, checking documents and following up.

Frequently asked questions

Will we need to replace our CRM?

No. Elves work alongside your student system and CRM, using the access you grant. We scope the connection with your team during set-up, and results are written back into the workflow your team already uses.

Who makes admissions decisions?

Your admissions team makes the decisions. Our elves collect and check documents, assess applications against programme rubrics and flag unusual evidence for human review. Applicants are never rejected automatically.

What happens when an application is incomplete?

Our elves identify what is missing, follow up for documents and ask applicants for clarification. Unusual evidence is flagged for your team, with messages, checks and handovers logged against the applicant.

How do the elves support international applicants?

Our elves help with course questions, document checks, English-language and financial evidence, interview preparation and visa readiness. Applicants, partners and university teams can see what is still needed. Elves do not give immigration advice; they point students to official guidance.

Does support continue after an offer?

Yes. Our elves help identify what is holding an offer holder back and suggest the right next step, from funding guidance to a conversation with a student ambassador. Support continues through arrival, settling in and the first year.

What should we agree before a pilot?

Agree the workflow, the pilot target measured against your previous intake, and how student data may be accessed, retained and used. Book a demo to discuss your university’s requirements.
