Unibuddy

What Unibuddy is

Unibuddy is a platform for universities, schools, and colleges to recruit and engage prospective students through peer connections. Its Chat feature supports one-to-one conversations with current students, staff, and faculty. Community adds group messaging so students can connect before they arrive, while Assistant uses AI to answer questions from an institution’s website content and can direct someone to a person for further help. Unibuddy Intelligence includes conversation insights, microsurveys, and benchmarking data. The platform also offers engagement analytics, automated campaigns, SMS outreach, and student surveys. Named CRM integrations include Slate, Zapier, and Campus Management. Discover helps institutions present their brand and ambassadors on partner networks; extra fees vary by partner. Unibuddy says setup typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the institution’s resources and schedule, and its team provides training and support for ambassadors and staff. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request, with no free plan.
