Problem
Students and educators in higher education often struggle to navigate fragmented academic tools, making it difficult to plan courses, track degree progress, and identify at-risk students early. Students waste time piecing together information from Canvas, degree audits, and notes, while educators lack efficient ways to prepare for advising sessions or spot engagement drops before midterms.
Solution
Aeero provides a personal AI assistant that unifies academic data from Canvas, Degree Works, and other institutional systems into a single conversational interface. Students can ask questions about course planning, assignment deadlines, and degree audit status, receiving answers grounded in their actual coursework rather than public internet data. Educators can use Aeero to prepare for advising meetings, monitor student engagement trends, and compare cohort performance across sections using plain-language queries. The platform respects FERPA by keeping student data inside the institution and never using it to train the model, ensuring privacy and compliance.
Target Audience
Primary users are undergraduate students and educators at colleges and universities who need a unified, AI-driven view of academic progress, course planning, and student engagement.
