Hi Producthunt!


I’m Sadia, co-founder and CPO of Risely AI

When I was a student at UC Berkeley, I faced the harsh reality of having all my financial aid withdrawn overnight. My parents made just a bit too much to qualify. I juggled three campus jobs simultaneously just to stay enrolled, and advisor support was nearly impossible to access, with appointments booked weeks in advance.

My story isn’t unique: 1 in 3 college students drop out due to inadequate student support, costing universities an average of $34 million each year in lost tuition.

We created Risely’s AI Advisor to tackle this challenge head-on:

🚩 Proactively Flag At-Risk Students before problems become critical
📨 Automate Personalized Outreach, freeing staff to focus on impactful interactions
🔎 Instantly Answer Critical Questions about students, courses, and workloads
📝 Generate Tailored Intervention Plans within seconds

But that’s only the start. Risely's vision is to power an AI-native ERP for universities, revolutionizing workflows across enrollment management, admissions, advising, research administration, and beyond. This isn’t just about streamlining tasks; it’s about enabling colleges to boost enrollment, retention, and revenue, significantly expanding their institutional impact.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

As a recent college grad, I am really excited for the amount of students who will benefit from this product!!

Great mission. Student retention doesn’t get enough attention, even though it impacts both learners and universities massively. Excited to see how this could eventually reshape not just advising but the whole student experience.

As someone who juggled campus jobs just to stay afloat, the idea of proactively flagging at-risk students is so needed. Huge kudos to the Risely team for this.

Really love the ux/ui of this straight to the solution, keeping it simple.
