A Solution to the Challenge Instructors Face
Capacity streamlines student support, automating answers to routine queries and freeing educators and staff for complex concerns — an invaluable benefit for large or online programs.
Meet Capacity
Capacity is an AI-powered helpdesk and chatbot platform that provides 24/7 student support via smart chat agents, integrated with knowledge bases and academic records. It handles scheduling, FAQs, resource location and basic tech troubleshooting.
In the Classroom
In a hybrid business course, the instructor integrates Capacity to answer common student questions about deadlines, assignment requirements or course logistics, reducing email backlog and ensuring consistent communication after hours.
Why It’s Useful
Capacity delivers instant, around-the-clock support and reduces the administrative load for educators and staff, improving student satisfaction.
What to Watch Out For
Capacity may not handle complex or sensitive inquiries well; instructor/staff follow-up is still needed for nuanced academic or personal issues.
