## 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

Grant users the ability to invite and enroll learners into programs and courses without full administrative access.

### Learner Management

Control who can view, manage, and organize learners within the platform.

### Team Manager

Allow users to create and manage teams they own, including adding and organizing members.

### Team Sharing

Enable controlled sharing of teams across users and roles to support collaboration without over-permissioning.

### Bulk Team Management

Efficiently manage large groups of learners and teams through bulk actions and uploads.

### Groups

Use Groups to organize users at scale and apply permissions consistently across skillsAI and mentorAI.

### Mentor Editor

Assign users the ability to create, edit, and manage mentors without granting broader administrative privileges.

## 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.
