Loyola University Chicago sought to improve and extend student services

Summary

Loyola University Chicago sought to improve and extend student services and refocus the time of academic advisors on the more complex academic planning questions. Office hours and availability of appointments with advisors are limited and often don’t coincide with the hours when students are available and seeking answers to their questions.

Customer comments

Loyola University Chicago, in conjunction with their partner IntraSee, used Oracle Digital Assistant and PeopleSoft Chatbot Integration Framework to build and deploy chatbots for students and advisors. The chatbot provided answers to over 200 questions that were personalized based on the user's role and included data that was extracted real-time from the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions.

In addition, the chatbot was available 24x7, responded in a matter of seconds, and was able to process in multiple languages.
