In the fast-paced world of education, where every second counts, keeping students engaged and informed can make all the difference. Enter the education chatbot—the ultimate game-changer in student recruitment and admissions. Imagine a smart assistant who works tirelessly, day and night, to connect with prospective students, answer their questions, and nudge them closer to enrollment. Now, combine that with the power of a purpose-built education CRM, and you have the perfect duo to streamline processes, boost engagement, and supercharge your admissions game.
Why are chatbots the future of education?
Education is evolving, and so are student expectations. Today’s students crave instant communication and personalized interactions, and they want them on their terms—whether that’s through a website chat, WhatsApp, or even social media. This is where an education chatbot shines. Think of it as your admissions team’s best friend, handling everything from inquiries to lead qualification, all without breaking a sweat.
Take Niaa, Meritto’s purpose-built education chatbot, for example. Niaa is designed to connect and convert prospective students by providing the guidance they need at exactly the right time—whether it’s 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. The chatbot doesn’t just answer questions; it builds connections and sparks conversations that matter.
With Niaa, you get:

Subtle, well-timed reminders to keep students moving forward in their enrollment journey.
It’s like having an army of admissions officers working around the clock—except without the coffee breaks.
How do chatbots and CRM work hand-in-hand?
