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.
Features

Mentors continuously learn from new data sources using auto-retraining datasets: no manual retraining required.
One-Click In-Chat File Uploads
Share documents and media directly inside mentorAI chats, securely stored by default for safer collaboration.
Smart Mentor Defaults (skillsAI & mentorAI)
The most relevant mentor is now auto-selected for each user, ensuring faster starts and fewer steps when joining a new course or chat.
Database Acceleration
New indexes and optimized message counting reduce latency across dashboards and analytics.
Media-First Chat
Image datasets automatically surface relevant URLs in answers to speed understanding.
Flagged Prompts (mentorAI)

Reflections
How AI-driven agents are transforming enrollment management: From "spray and pray" outreach to precision student journeys.
Why per-seat pricing models don't scale and how universities can break free from the hidden AI tax.
Highlighted Partnership
We're proud to partner with Fort Hays State University, where mentorAI powers a next-generation, outcome-aligned Social Work program. Together, we're helping faculty streamline course alignment, strengthen accreditation readiness, and give students 24/7, program-aware mentoring support.
