"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend leads on TOEFL prep questions about speaking section strategies. Now, it handles initial consults flawlessly during busy fall intakes, and we've seen a 25% uptick in sign-ups over the last quarter—it's like having an extra advisor on duty 24/7."

Enrollments jumped 18% in three months, and feedback scores improved noticeably on response empathy."

It caught inquiries we missed on biology content outlines, guiding 15 more students to enroll last season. The empathy in its responses matches our brand perfectly—no more generic feel, just tailored support for aspiring med students."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle complex test prep questions that require expert knowledge?
We train it deeply on your specific materials—think SAT math breakdowns or GRE vocab strategies—from day one. It draws from your curriculum database to provide accurate, contextual answers. For edge cases, like nuanced essay feedback requests, it seamlessly hands off to your team with a summary. We've seen this resolve 75% of inquiries autonomously, based on past deployments, while maintaining the consultative tone that builds student confidence. It's not a generic responder; it's tuned to your teaching philosophy, ensuring responses feel like an extension of your tutors.
Will the chatbot work for both online and in-person test prep programs?
Absolutely. Our custom builds connect via secure APIs to platforms like Canvas or Moodle, syncing student progress and pulling real-time availability for sessions. For hybrid programs, it can guide users to virtual or local options based on location. In one case, a client saw 30% faster enrollments by automating hybrid scheduling. We map your exact workflow first, so it feels native—no clunky add-ons. This scalability supports your growth from small cohorts to larger scalable learning models.
What if a student needs emotional support for test anxiety?
Empathy is core to our design. The bot uses natural language to acknowledge feelings—like 'We know prepping for the ACT can feel overwhelming; many students share that'—before offering resources or tips from your library. It's trained on anonymized student stories to respond supportively. If deeper intervention is needed, it escalates to a counselor. Test prep companies we've worked with report higher satisfaction scores, as it bridges the gap until human help arrives, fostering retention without overstepping.
How much does customization cost for a test prep-focused chatbot?
Costs vary by complexity, but for test prep firms, we start around $15,000 for a full custom build, including integration and training. This owns you a tailored system, unlike $500/month subscriptions that add up. ROI hits fast—clients often recoup via 20-30 extra enrollments in the first year. We scope precisely in the free consultation, factoring your student volume and features like multi-test support. No surprises; it's an investment in owning your support infrastructure.
Is the chatbot available immediately, or is there a setup time?
Setup takes 4-6 weeks for a polished launch, depending on your data readiness. We accelerate with your input on key scenarios, like peak LSAT query handling. Post-launch, it's live 24/7. During build, you get previews to tweak. One partner went from concept to capturing night-owl queries in just 35 days, seeing immediate lead lifts. We're builders who prioritize your timeline to minimize disruptions during enrollment seasons.
How do we measure the chatbot's impact on student outcomes?
We embed tracking from the start: metrics like response time, resolution rate, and enrollment conversions feed into a custom dashboard. For test prep, we link it to outcomes like course completion or score improvements. Clients track specifics, e.g., a 22% rise in follow-through after bot interactions. Regular reviews let us optimize—say, refining prompts for better MCAT advice uptake. It's not just support; it's a tool for data-driven enhancements to your scalable learning strategies.
