The problem

Admissions week breaks the phone line.

01

Calls arrive all at once

Applications, registration and results days bring a wave of calls. Families hear a busy tone and give up.

02

The same questions, all day

Deadlines, fees and documents: staff answer the same questions hundreds of times.

03

Missed calls are not called back

Nobody can see how many callers were missed or whether anyone called them back.

  • Average and longest wait
  • Abandoned calls and service level
  • Agents log in to queues on demand

AI agent

Answer the common questions with an AI agent.

Upload your prospectus, fee schedule and deadlines. An AI voice agent answers in Arabic dialects or English from those documents, and transfers to admissions when a caller needs a person.

  • Knowledge library from your own documents
  • Arabic dialects and English
  • Transfer to the right office

AI Voice Agents: $0.15 per connected minute, or the usage-based cost of the call if that is higher, charged from your wallet. A call starts only when the wallet holds at least $10.

No FERPA certification is claimed

TalkChief does not claim FERPA certification or automatic compliance. Your institution decides who may receive student information by phone and how identity is checked.

You decide what is recorded and analysed

Call recording is on Growth (kept 1 year) and Professional (kept 2 years). AI transcription is switched on for the company, a team or a member, for the call types you pick; internal calls are never transcribed. Tell callers about recording and transcription as your local rules require.
