Campus Intelligence · powered by Ontography

One AI that knows your campus and gets it right.

The problem

Watch a campus try to answer one question.

Every university runs the same broken loop: thousands of people hunting for answers scattered across systems that don't talk to each other. Select a failure mode and watch where it breaks.

Capabilities

Ask in plain language. Get the right answer, instantly.

Not a smarter chatbot. An AI that actually knows your campus. Every answer comes from institution-approved sources, arrives cited in under three seconds, and shows up as interactive results you can act on, not walls of text. And when a question is really the start of a conversation, it settles the logistics and hands the student to the right person, prepared, so the meeting that follows is about them and not the paperwork.

Every office, one front door.

Financial aid, housing, room booking, the right email to drop a course. Campus Intelligence narrows it down and takes students straight to the correct, current source. No more “let me forward you to someone.”

How do I drop a course after the deadline?

After the drop deadline you'll need the Registrar. Here are the right next steps:

  • Late Drop Request Form

Use cases

Built for everyone who keeps the institution running.

Not to replace a single one of them. It takes the routine questions off their plates and hands back the moments that need a person: the advising, the judgment calls, the conversations only they can have, with the groundwork already done.

Students

A trusted guide for the whole journey.

  • Plan a lottery schedule across specializations in minutes, not weekends
  • Find classrooms, deadlines, and the right contact instantly
  • Discover courses and events matched to their interests
Deployment

Live in weeks, not quarters.

01 step

Connect

We take in your catalogs, calendars, directories, and policy documents and turn them into a verified model of your campus, where courses, people, places, and rules are connected the way they actually are. That's why it doesn't invent a professor or misplace a deadline.

02 step

Deploy

Launches behind your SSO as a responsive web app, with access mapped to your programs and policies. Students see exactly what their program allows: nothing more, nothing less.

03 step

Improve

Students and staff flag anything that looks off, and your departments review and approve the fix. Accuracy compounds, and every change has a name and a timestamp behind it.

Integrations

Meets your campus where it already lives.

Campus Intelligence connects to the systems your institution already runs. No rip-and-replace, no new portal for students to ignore.

  • Course catalogs
  • Event calendars
  • Faculty directories
  • Policy & FAQ docs
  • LMS
  • Campus maps
  • Career services
  • SSO / SAML
  • Program-based access control
Institution story
NYU Stern

When the lottery window opens, it's the only tool I use to see which classes fit my schedule and specializations. Just ask in plain language, and it makes course selection and campus navigation interactive instead of frustrating.

the outcome

During the Langone MBA pilot, students planned and submitted lottery selections with confidence: every answer cited, every source approved by the school. Sternie became the first stop for everyday campus logistics. No staff role was replaced; the repetitive lookups simply stopped landing on their desks, leaving more time for the students who came to them.
