What Alex handles

Six Ways Talking Widget
Serves Your Institution

From first enquiry to enrolled student, Alex covers every common touchpoint in the student journey.

Enrolment Enquiries

Walk prospective students through application requirements, key intake dates, prerequisite qualifications, and next steps โ€” at any hour, without wait times.

Course Information

Provide detailed answers on programs, subjects, study modes (full-time, part-time, online), course duration, and graduate career pathways.

Open Day & Campus Tour Bookings

Capture registrations for open days, information evenings, and campus tours. Alex collects contact details and confirms bookings instantly.

Fee & Scholarship Queries

Answer questions about tuition fees, HECS-HELP, VET Student Loans, payment plans, and scholarship eligibility โ€” clearly and accurately.

Student Support Triage

Identify students seeking welfare, disability, or academic support services and connect them directly to the appropriate team โ€” reducing the burden on general reception.

International Student Assistance

Guide international applicants through visa requirements, English language entry standards, agent referral pathways, and offshore application procedures.

Process

How It Works

Three simple steps from website visitor to resolved enquiry.

Student Calls

A prospective or current student clicks the widget on your website and speaks naturally โ€” no forms, no hold music, no phone trees.

AI Assists

Alex listens, understands the enquiry, and provides accurate answers drawn from your institution's own content and knowledge base.

Enquiry Resolved

The student gets the information they need, books an appointment, or is connected to the right team member โ€” all within seconds.

What institutions say

Trusted by Education Leaders

From public universities to private RTOs, institutions across Australia are transforming their student experience.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

We receive over four hundred enquiries per week during peak enrolment season. Before Talking Widget, our phones were overwhelmed and prospective students were waiting days for a response. Now the majority of initial enquiries are resolved within the first conversation, and our team focuses on complex cases that genuinely need human attention.

As a principal, I was sceptical about AI handling calls to a school. What convinced me was how natural and professional the voice sounds โ€” parents don't feel like they're talking to a robot. The assistant handles after-hours queries about enrolments, uniform requirements, and upcoming events, which has genuinely reduced the stress on our front office team.

Running a registered training organisation means constant enquiries about course availability, recognition of prior learning, and government funding. The setup took less than a day and the results were immediate. We are converting more enquiries into enrolments because people can get answers at ten o'clock at night when they are actually researching their options.
