Access new dashboards for Overview, Users, Topics, Transcripts, and Financial data: All designed for clarity and real-time insights. ### Auto-Retraining Datasets 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) Built-in governance for reviewing sensitive or policy-relevant inputs. ## 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.
