Project Description

Annie is a student support chatbot that prevents 27% of dropouts by lowering the barrier to asking for and getting help. It finds students who need help early, by reaching out to them via WhatsApp or SMS and directing them to the help they need. Annie includes a bot builder for schools and a data dashboard, which allows school leaders and researchers to understand students’ support needs and the impact of their support interventions.
