Gecko Labs have two edtech products that are potentially useful for educational establishments and companies.

The first of these is an AI-powered conversational messaging platform. It came about when they started making Higher Education chatbots for event management of student recruitment days.

The use of these chatbots grew to support Universities to be able to communicate with students both on a one-to-one basis but also through using their AI-powered conversational messaging platform to speak to many and answer their questions, capture leads or register event attendees.

The second product is a school showcase platform, which offers a student visit experience platform and takes students on a sophisticated digital journey to encourage them to enrol as students and the school or university. It also provides a useful tool for admissions staff to efficiently organise events.
