Find the students your staff don’t know are slipping.
Boom AI reads Canvas and SIS signals every night, flags the students who are pulling away, and tells the right advisor, coach or counselor what to do next. Nothing reaches a student until a person approves it.

Channels
No new app. It works where everyone already is.
Boom AI has no portal for students or staff to log into. Advisors and coaches work from Outlook, students hear from it by text, Canvas and email, and leadership gets one weekly digest.
