Fred for trade & vocational schools.

Answer prospects around the clock, an AI agent that fields program and financing questions and never makes an eligibility call or guarantees a job.

Answer the prospect. Stay honest.

A prospect wants program length, cost, and financing, and whether it leads to work. Fred answers the general questions, captures the lead, and routes admissions, while eligibility and aid determinations and any job or salary promise go straight to staff.

What Fred does

  • Answers program, cost, and financing questions
  • Captures applications and tour requests, 24/7
  • Routes admissions to follow up and enroll
  • Escalates records and emergencies to the right office

When Fred hands off to you

  • An admissions, aid, or financing determination
  • A student-records or enrollment-verification request
  • A complaint or emergency
  • A prospect ready to apply or tour

What Fred won’t do

  • Determine admissions or aid eligibility
  • Guarantee a job, salary, or placement rate
  • Release or discuss a student’s records

Built for FERPA and FTC outcome-claim rules. Every eligibility call and promise stays with your staff.

Shop is dark. Fred’s still enrolling.

Server-side guardrails

The guardrails you manage in the admin, enforced before Fred replies.

Colleges run on admissions, aid, and records governed by FERPA, Title IX, and the Clery Act. This is the compliance panel you manage in the admin: the industry pack automation, your own custom rules, and the hard limits Fred holds no matter how it’s asked. All of it is enforced on our servers before a word reaches the visitor. Not a suggestion in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

Hard limits

The boundaries Fred holds, no matter how a visitor asks.

  • Never make an admissions, financial-aid, transfer-credit, or visa eligibility determination
  • Never release or discuss a student's records or identifiers in chat
  • Always route Title IX reports and emergencies to the right office, 911, or 988 immediately
  • Never confirm an accommodation; route to Disability Services

Your custom rules

Layered on top of the pack, unique to your institution. No developer required.

Unlimited

The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.

  • BLOCKany eligibility or aid determination
  • WARNbefore a deadline or requirement is stated as final
  • LOGwhen a prospect asks about a specific program
Add your own rule

These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, FERPA, Title IX, and Clery Act requirements, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work

Know which lead to call back first.

Every conversation lands in your CRM with a lead score, a purchase probability, and a plain-language summary. The prospect ready to enroll gets routed before the casual researcher, so admissions works the warmest lead first instead of guessing.

Admissions questions.

Why won’t Fred guarantee a job or salary?

Outcome claims are tightly regulated, and results depend on the individual. Fred shares honest program information, captures the lead, and routes admissions. That boundary is enforced on our servers before Fred ever speaks, not suggested in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

Can Fred tell me if I qualify or how much aid I’ll get?

No. Admissions, aid, and financing determinations require official review. Fred shares general requirements and routes the right office.

Will Fred pull up my records?

No. Student records are protected under FERPA and handled by staff. Fred routes you to the right office.

Can it help me enroll?

Fred captures the lead and routes admissions to follow up, book a tour, and walk you through enrollment. Direct booking depends on the tools you already run. Our training videos show you how, or you can add a paid setup.

Answer every prospect. Stay honest.
