Annie for Media
What is Annie Advisor?
Annie Advisor is an edtech company that helps education providers and wellbeing regions identify support needs and offer assistance with a low threshold. The Annie support bot reaches students through their own communication channels, such as SMS or WhatsApp, and directs them to the right support before problems escalate. Annie lowers the barrier to seeking help by providing an easy way to reach out, helping to prevent dropouts and promoting student wellbeing. Annie is used in over 40 educational institutions and already supports more than 70,000 students in three countries.
