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.
