About the Episode

About the Episode: In this special episode of Higher Ed Pulse, Mallory sits down with Ardis Kadiu, CEO and Founder of Element451 and co-host of the Generation AI podcast on Enrollify. Together, they discuss two new AI innovations — Bolt Assistants and Bolt Search.

  • Bolt AI Assistants become an indispensable member of your team.They offer students tailored support while amplifying staff performance through sophisticated tools and insights, aiming to boost productivity and streamline day-to-day tasks. Tell Bolt what you need and every challenge becomes manageable. 
  • Bolt Search is a game changer for navigating .edu websites. It uses smart AI to answer user questions directly. It doesn't just stop at text; it shows you videos and images that match what the user is looking for. Gone are the days of battling for homepage real estate!

Key Takeaways:

  • AI literacy among higher education leaders is crucial for successful AI adoption and its positive impact on ROI.
  • The progression from basic chatbots to advanced AI assistants that can handle diverse tasks, offering personalized student interactions and boosting administrative efficiency.
  • Predictions for 2024 and beyond, with a quickly widening gap between those institutions who implement and integrate AI versus those who don’t. 

Let's keep the conversation going! If you're heading to San Diego for the ASU GSV AIR Show or Summit, reach out to us. We're excited to connect, share ideas, and explore the future of higher education together.
