Why does it matter?

consiliumbots_figure3
There is Scientific Evidence that providing relevant information at the right time can make a significant difference in students’ trajectory by reducing school dropouts and introducing options with better job prospects.

The Technology Exists. Artificial Intelligence has made personalized and dynamic information possible on a large scale (Amazon, Netflix, Spotify). We want this technology to revolutionize the way educational, housing decisions are made and how people access government services.

The Pieces are in Place. In recent years, government benefits selection processes are increasingly digitized and centralized (in education and other areas). This wealth of information has expanded the possibilities and lowered the cost of supporting families in the decision-making process with personalized information.
