Here's this week's platform update: A quick summary of new features across Data Manager, mentorAI, and skillsAI, plus a highlight from our ongoing collaborations and reflections on AI's role in education.
Highlighted Features
MCP Analytics MCP
Enable mentors and agents to query platform analytics directly through MCP, supporting data-driven conversations around usage, performance, and outcomes.
Search MCP
Allow mentors to perform structured searches across indexed content and platform data using MCP, improving retrieval accuracy and contextual responses.
RBAC Enrollment Managers

Additional Updates
External Credentials
Support external badges and credentials to recognize learning achievements beyond the platform.
Code Interpreter
Students can run Python code, spreadsheets, and more directly in chat to analyze data, generate charts, and explore concepts interactively, without leaving the conversation.
Reflections
Campus leaders share why endless proofs of concept aren't enough — and how avoiding pilot fatigue is key to moving AI strategy into action.
AI equity and infrastructure: building access that supports all learners and ensures institutional AI tools serve the entire campus community.
Students as agents and builders: how role-based access control (RBAC) unlocks secure, scalable participation in AI-powered workflows.
Highlighted Partnerships
We're proud to partner with Union Theological Seminary, advancing a values-driven collaboration that explores how AI can support ethical, mission-aligned learning and teaching. This work centers on empowering faculty and learners with tools that respect community values and foster human-centered inquiry across theological and liberal arts contexts.
