Future Student Experience

Airgentic Help

Future Student Experience is a recruitment conversation that ends in a personalised, shareable page — not a list of search results.

A prospective student talks about what they want to do, where they live, and what is in the way. Airgentic then builds a page they can keep, send to a parent or adviser, and act on: apply, enquire, or book a visit.

The page is branded as My {your institution} Experience. The specialist that runs the interview is the Future Student Experience Concierge.

This is not a replacement for your website, your application form, or your existing Study Pathways or Enrolment agents. Those still handle “which nursing course?” and “how do I apply?”. Future Student Experience is for the person whose situation matters as much as their subject.


Who it is for

A good fit Better handled elsewhere
“I don’t know what I want to study.” “Which of your nursing courses should I do?” → Study Pathways
“I want to work with animals but I’m not sure where to start.” “What are the fees for this course?” as a one-off lookup → Enrolment or search
“I’m 34, I work full time, and I want to change careers.” Contact details volunteered as a lead → Lead Gen
School leavers, mature-age students, career changers, people weighing a move Already enrolled and needing enrolment steps

It works for universities (ranked entry, belonging, national or international recruitment) and vocational institutes (local campuses, intakes, job outcomes, no ATAR). The same product; different configuration.


What the student sees

  1. A short chat interview — a handful of questions, one at a time, not a form.
  2. A recap of what they said, and a clear ask for consent to build the page.
  3. A “building…” pause of about a minute.
  4. A link to their page, which they can copy, email to a parent, or print / save as PDF.
  5. Buttons you configured: apply, enquire, open day, campus tour, and so on.

The chat does not paste the plan into the bubble. The page is the deliverable. Side questions during the interview (“what are the fees?”) stay in the same conversation and are answered from your indexed content.


How the page is created

The concierge gathers a profile. A separate job then searches your existing website index — the same courses, scholarships, and pages your other agents already use — and writes a grounded plan. Buttons always use the URLs you configured; the model is not allowed to invent an apply link.

After the page is ready:

  • The student can forward the signed link. Anyone with the link can open it until it expires.
  • Conversion buttons on the page go through Airgentic first, then on to your apply / enquire URLs, so a click can be attributed to that experience.
  • Your recruitment team still owns the application, enquiry form, and CRM. Airgentic does not write the profile into a sales system unless the student later chooses to get in touch themselves.

How it sits with your other agents

Agent Use it when
Future Student Experience The person needs a personalised starting point, not a course comparison.
Study Pathways They already know the field and want to browse or compare named courses.
Enrolment How to apply, fees, visas, dates — as a lookup, not a full experience.
Lead Gen They have already given a name plus phone or email.
Events / Expert Finder The task has changed to a calendar or a named researcher.

If both Future Student Experience and Study Pathways are live, keep their role descriptions sharp. Otherwise the Frontline agent will send ordinary course questions into an interview. Until you are ready for that, keep the concierge on Testing and open it from a dedicated landing page. See Putting it on your website.


What you configure

Airgentic sets this up with you. Your ongoing work is the same as for other higher-education agents: keep the index complete, keep catalog filters accurate, and keep the institution prompt honest.

You own Platform owns
Institution prompt (campuses, audiences, how entry really works) Searching, grounding, page layout, button URLs from config
Concierge interview prompt (tone, consent wording) The create_experience function
Service keys: title, kind, sections, CTAs, caps Job budgets, validator, signed links
Course / scholarship scopes and catalog allowlists Which facts are allowed on the page
Brand colours in style.css Default page chrome (disclaimer, sources, share controls)

See Configuration and Prompts.


Privacy in brief

The interview can include where someone lives, an entry score, money worries, or visa situation. That is a different conversation from public-content search.

  • The student must consent before a page is built.
  • The page is reached by a signed link, not a public file URL.
  • You and Airgentic may keep the conversation and the page for a limited time to check quality.
  • Nothing is sold, and nothing is pushed into a CRM unless the student later opts in (for example by using your enquire form).
  • Do not promise that everything is deleted immediately.

Conversation retention still follows your Privacy settings. The shareable page has its own expiry (future_student.retention_days).
