RALEIGH,
N.C., May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Element451, a
leader in AI-first student engagement and CRM software, today
announced the launch of Bolt Discovery, a revolutionary AI search
tool that transforms how students get answers to their questions
about colleges.
Bolt Discovery combines the technology of advanced large
language models with an institution's website to create a
conversational experience where students simply ask questions
rather than hunt for information.
"With Bolt Discovery, we are reimagining how students interact
with university content," said Ardis
Kadiu, CEO and founder of Element451. "This innovative tool
provides instant, accurate answers and anticipates student needs,
offering a seamless and intuitive search experience."
The new approach could replace the often mammoth scope of
university websites that make it challenging for prospective and
current students to swiftly — and reliably — learn about everything
from dining plan options and registration deadlines to scientific
breakthroughs and alumni successes.
Traditional university sites don't provide the user-centered
experience students expect online. Instead, they require students
to sift through a maze of pages. User research shows they become
frustrated by outdated, contradictory information buried deep in
unfamiliar menu structures.
Bolt Discovery turns that experience on its head by making it as
easy as typing a question on a school's site to get a helpful
answer.
Bolt Discovery also provides links to source pages, along with
personalized recommendations for related content.
The technology goes beyond keyword matching. Bolt Discovery
delivers correct, context-aware responses to natural language
queries (no specialized prompt writing required) and guides
students to useful information.
Early adopters of such technology are seeing students find
information faster and expressing greater satisfaction with their
site experiences.
Schools with Bolt Discovery on their sites benefit from:
- Conversational Interface: Chat naturally and get precise
answers, not just a list of links.
- Video and Media Results: Serve up videos and other media
that answer students' questions.
- Knowledge Base: Centralize content from subsites,
documents, catalogs and other sources into one Knowledge Base where
Bolt Discovery draws its answers.
- Personalized Insights: Give students immediate, tailored
answers with contextual suggestions for follow-up questions.
- Seamless Sharing: Students can effortlessly share
conversation threads with friends and family.
- Easily Embeddable: Place Bolt Discovery on any
institution website, LMS, or landing page.
- Scalable and Customizable: Adaptable to meet the needs
of institutions of all types and sizes.
"We believe Bolt Discovery will disrupt traditional search and
set a new standard for how students access and engage with
information," added Ardis Kadiu.
"It's not just about finding answers; it's about transforming the
entire search experience to be more intuitive, efficient and
enjoyable."
