Risely AI

Risely AI is an agentic platform purpose-built for higher education, deploying specialized AI agents for enrollment, advising, and advancement. The platform ingests data from a university's SIS, LMS, and CRM to uncover patterns and prompt staff with next-best actions, all from a unified workspace. Designed for enrollment counselors, academic advisors, advancement officers, and administrators, Risely connects to existing tools like Salesforce, Banner, Canvas, and Outlook to triage inquiries, flag at-risk students, and manage donor pipelines. Risely's multi-agent architecture routes signals to the right specialist agent, with each agent sharing context to deepen institutional intelligence. The Enrollment Agent triages inquiries, creates tasks, and sends contacts; the Advisor Agent flags at-risk students and drafts success plans; the Advancement Agent identifies prospective donors and manages the gift pipeline. The platform claims a 247% enrollment lift in 43 days at a private university and 6x advisor capacity at a top R1 university. The platform emphasizes fast deployment—setup takes 6-12 weeks with no data migration required—and enterprise-grade security (SOC 2 Type II, FERPA, HECVAT assessed). It is backed by Y Combinator. Compared to generic chatbot builders or CRMs with AI add-ons, Risely is purpose-built for campus operations, offering agents that act directly inside existing systems rather than just answering questions. Pricing is custom per institution, available via demo.
