Apten

Apten builds omnichannel AI agents for student enrollment. A single agent engages prospective students by SMS, voice, email and webchat, drawing on one shared memory across every channel and every stage of the student journey, so each follow up refers to what the student actually said about programs, credits and deadlines instead of repeating a drip campaign template. It is aimed at admissions and enrollment teams at education institutions. The agent decides when to send each nudge based on the student's response patterns, imports students from Salesforce or HubSpot and writes conversation summaries, tags and structured data back, and can be equipped with custom tools that schedule appointments, process payments or update records. Live calls are handed to the institution's existing phone numbers through a cold, warm or scheduled transfer, and in a warm transfer the agent briefs the rep before connecting. Integrations shown on the site include Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Close, Calendly, Google Calendar, Google Drive and SharePoint, custom API integrations are built for more complex syncing, and the platform holds SOC 2 Type II with encryption at rest and in transit. Pricing is not published; institutions book a demo. Apten's team handles implementation on a fixed two week path from kickoff to a production agent, covering requirements, data source integration, testing and launch. Apten is a Y Combinator company based in Santa Clara. Its page title still refers to agents for sales and marketing, but the product is now focused on student enrollment.
