Student attrition is one of the most pressing challenges facing higher education today, with only 40% of students completing their degrees within six years. Human connection in 1:1 meetings between a student and their advisor is the most effective antidote to this problem. But administrative bureaucracy takes away too much of the time and space that advisers need for the meaningful work of meeting with students. By combining 15+ years of higher education experience with AI expertise, Polis is working to make this connection for advisors more meaningful and impactful. We help universities and community colleges to address two critical needs: 1) Enhancing Advisor-Student Interactions We help advisors during meetings by providing: - Detailed, FERPA-compliant summaries - Precise action item identification - Personalized follow-up email drafting - Complete privacy (no conversation recordings) 2) Streamlining Administrative Workflows We automate meeting workflows to: - Reduce post-meeting administrative time by 75% - Improve student data accuracy by 90% - Seamlessly integrate with existing CRMs and SISs - Maintain rigorous data security standards By refocusing advisors from administrative tasks to meaningful student interactions, Polis helps institutions to improve student persistence rates by up to 25%.
