AI student assistant for educational institutions
The student gets stuck on a problem on the weekend. The interested parent asks about the course at 9 PM. The ChatAutomata AI chatbot answers both 24/7 — built on your own curriculum, and only from it. It also handles course enrollment.
- Step-by-step homework help (math, physics, grammar)
- Course info: price, start date, available spots
- Enrollment flow: data collection, payment link sending
What can the chatbot do for education?
Knowledge base from your own curriculum
PDF, text, URL — the chatbot learns from your curriculum. Hybrid RAG search always finds the relevant section and quotes from it. The student gets answers from their own textbook.
Step-by-step solutions
Math, physics problems: the chatbot doesn't just give the final answer, but the thought process — in pedagogically correct form. The student learns, not just copies.
Course selector questionnaire
The interested parent doesn't know what level course the child needs. The chatbot recommends based on 3-4 questions: current level, goal, available time, online or in-person.
Enrollment flow
Data collection (name, phone, email, date of birth, parent data if minor), start date selection, payment link generation (Stripe, Barion, bank transfer).
Multilingual capability
Especially useful for language schools: the chatbot can speak to English/German/Spanish students in the target language if you upload the knowledge base multilingually. A direct aid for language learning.
New course channel
When launching a new course, the chatbot proactively notifies registered prospects (email via Mailchimp/Brevo). The new group fills up faster.
Industry usage examples
The following case studies are generic industry examples — not specific client names, but typical situations on the Hungarian market.
Language school — prospect intake
A language school offers groups at 4-5 levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1). The interested parent doesn't know the child's level — the assessment takes a lot of time.
The chatbot provides a short online level assessment (5-10 questions), and recommends the appropriate group based on the result. Prospects arrive more pre-qualified.
High school — student support
A high school math teacher is available until 5 PM, after that students are on their own with homework. Many fall behind because of this.
The chatbot helps based on the textbook content. It guides step-by-step through the problem solution, doesn't give ready answers — the student learns in the process. Teacher lesson preparation also becomes smoother.
Online course platform — onboarding
An online course platform gets 30-50 new registrations daily. Many can't find the first lesson or don't understand the course structure — they drop off.
The chatbot walks new students through on day one: 'Here's the course structure, here's the first lesson. You can ask me anytime.' The onboarding rate noticeably improves.

Frequently asked questions
Can it give specific problem solutions?
Yes, step by step. The chatbot doesn't just give the answer, but also the thought process — in pedagogically correct form. The student learns, not copies. You can configure it via curriculum rules to not give ready answers to exam problems.
Can curriculum content be uploaded?
Yes, in the Knowledge Base (RAG) menu as PDF, text, or URL. The AI learns from your own curriculum and only quotes from it. Hybrid search (semantic + lexical) always finds the relevant section.
Can multiple students use it simultaneously?
Yes, unlimited students. Each conversation is a separate session — the chatbot doesn't mix up students. The Pro plan has a 10,000 messages/mo quota, which is enough for a medium-sized school.
How does it protect minor students' data?
GDPR-compliant: IP masking, encrypted-at-rest storage, and minor parental consent flow with parent email confirmation. You can customize the data privacy notice for school integrations.
Does the chatbot know the course catalog?
Yes, if you upload it to the knowledge base. The chatbot reads course descriptions, start dates, and prices. If the catalog changes, you can update the knowledge base and the chatbot responds with updated content immediately.
Can it connect to my LMS?
Via webhook or REST API. Integration with major LMS platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Google Classroom) requires custom development. Many smaller systems also connect via Zapier/n8n.
How much does it cost for a school?
For a small school/instructor, the Starter plan ($15/mo, 1,000 messages) is sufficient. For medium schools, the Pro plan ($45/mo, 10,000 messages, tool-calling). For large institutions, the Business plan ($120/mo, 50,000 messages, multi-language, white-label).
