Did you know there's a specific conversational chatbot to cater to all your commencement needs. That’s why we want to share our GradBot best practices with you. Read on to learn more.
Reduce Stress for Graduates, Guests and Staff to Make Commencement Unforgettable
With a bot that takes less than 3 seconds to respond all your commencement attendees can ask…
- Are tickets required?
- Will there be a rehearsal?
- How do I order my cap and gown?
- Where do I go for the processional line-up?
and get an answer with an astonishing 95%+ accuracy rate. GradBot helps graduates get the answers they need to their specific questions instantly over text, meaning all attendees will arrive and leave stress-free.
When Arizona State University launched a GradBot for their commencement, their bot Tassel was able to reach over 10,096 graduates and guests. Tassel sent and received more than 230,087 text messages and provided more than 2,928 hours of real-time support from October 10th to December 12th, attendees could get personalized answers without finding a staff-member. A bot can be your 24/7/365 assistant, helping reduce pressure for all staff and attendees.
