Your AI Injection

Will AI-powered chatbots soon become students' most trusted advisors?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon chats with Andrew Magliozzi, CEO of Mainstay, about AI-driven student support. Andrew shares how AI-powered coaches can proactively nudge students to stay on track with everything from filing financial aid forms to meeting academic deadlines. But what happens when students need deeper conversations about their future? The two explore how innovations like AI-driven text messages helped boost one school’s graduation rates by ~11% and why students often trust bots with personal questions they might never ask an advisor. They also dive into the delicate balance between automation and human intervention, the ethical concerns of AI in education, and what the future of advising—and education as a whole—might look like.
