This has been released in response to a notable uptick in inbound communications for school districts across the nation. "Chatbot itself isn't a new concept--but one designed specifically to address the needs of educational leaders and their stakeholders is," said K12 Insight's Founder and CEO Suhail Farooqui, who has been intimately involved in the conception and design of Let's Talk! Assistant. "We've used our more than a decade of experience in the K-12 space and data from hundreds of school districts across the nation to create a chatbot that really meets the needs of everyone in the educational community." Accessible via a widget on a school district's website, Let's Talk! Assistant gives parents, students, and others a fast, easy way to get answers to frequently asked questions whenever their schedules allow--24 hours a day, seven days a week. An additional in-chat option enables families to submit more nuanced or complex inquiries directly to staff members for a timely response, ensuring an answer to every question.
