- ›Claude analyzes a student's LinkedIn profile and essay to generate a highly personalized scholarship appeal letter for the counselor to review.
- ›Excel Copilot analyzes 5 years of admission data to identify that students from specific Tier-2 cities in Karnataka have the highest conversion rates, directing ad spend accordingly.
Ways to survive
