What We Do
We turn complex and underutilized information into virtual assistance and personalized recommendations.
Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to leveraging technology to connect government data with the community in order to help people make better-informed decisions that can positively impact their well-being. Our mission is to increase access to education, housing, and other government benefits by fostering technological innovation — empowering those who need it most and promoting social and economic equity.
Founded in December 2018 and incorporated as ConsiliumBots, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work with governments and researchers across Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and the United States.
How we work
We build and operate free information tools together with governments, and measure their impact with our affiliated researchers. Most of our work falls into five families:
Chatbots & AI assistants
Conversational guidance on WhatsApp and the web that answers families' questions and delivers personalized recommendations during application windows.
Personalized feedback reports
Individualized reports that show applicants their options and real admission risks before applications close.
School & career explorers
Search platforms that make schools, programs, and career outcomes comparable for every family.
Smart matching & assignment systems
We have designed and helped operate centralized choice and assignment systems — from algorithm management to applicant communication.
Decision-support APIs
Risk and recommendation services that plug into government platforms to warn applicants in real time.
Why it matters
Informational interventions are effective
There is scientific evidence that providing relevant information at the right time can make a significant difference in the way people live — improving decisions about schooling, enrollment, and access to benefits.
AI makes personalized guidance possible at scale
AI, empowered by large language models, has opened up new possibilities for delivering personalized, dynamic information at massive scale — reshaping how individuals make decisions about education, housing, and government services.
Centralized systems and data offer an opportunity
Government benefit processes are increasingly digitized and centralized. The resulting data lowers the cost of supporting families in decision-making with personalized information.
