Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most education and training providers are not short on demand; they are short on administrative capacity. Enrolment enquiries, attendance chasing, learner progress updates, tuition reminders, and course material distribution fill the week before a single lesson is taught.

Actionist builds AI agents for Education and Training that handle your digital administration, so your staff can focus on learners, cohorts, and outcomes.

What matters to you

Fast enrolment responses
The first provider to reply to an enrolment enquiry usually secures the learner.
Attendance that stays current
Missing attendance data means safeguarding risks and inaccurate funding claims.
Learners and parents kept informed
Proactive communication reduces parent anxiety and learner drop-out rates.
Tuition collected on schedule
Late tuition disrupts cash flow and creates awkward manual chasing conversations.
Course materials, always ready
Learners who have the right materials at the right time perform and progress better.
Built around your institution
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job your institution repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Education & Training team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA new enrolment enquiry arrivesfires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment an enrolment enquiry arrives by email or website form, the agent reads it within about a minute, checks the prospective learner's stated level and interest against your entry requirements, drafts a warm reply with course options, start dates, fees, and the application link, and logs the enquiry to your enrolment tracker. Every message waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches the prospective learner, so the fastest provider stops winning by default.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works in your real systems and touches your learner and parent data, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve every message before it reaches a learner or parent, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does alone, from drafting for approval to trusted routine tasks. Anything destructive, like deleting a record or cancelling an enrolment, always asks first and cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a learner communication or an action with one tap, from wherever you are.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did with a learner's or parent's details.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually reply to enrolment enquiries fast enough, and how does it know what to say?

Yes, and speed matters here. The agent picks up each website form, email enquiry, and callback request within about a minute, reads what the prospective learner is asking for, checks them against your entry criteria and available courses, and drafts a warm first reply with the right course, start date, fee, and next step. You teach it your tone and qualifying questions once. Until you trust it, every reply waits for your approval before reaching the prospect. The institution that replies in minutes, not days, fills its cohorts first.

We use a student management system and a funding portal that nothing connects to. Will it still work?

Almost certainly. Actionist operates your tools the way a person does, reading the screen and clicking, typing, and navigating, so it reaches software with no API at all: your student management system, your funding body portal, and the internal spreadsheets your institution already runs. Where an app offers a clean integration it uses it; where it does not, the desktop agent operates the screen instead. You do not replace any existing system. Screen automation runs on the desktop app.

Will it contact a learner or parent without someone checking the message first?

Not unless you decide it should. By default every message, attendance contact, and progress update is drafted and waits for your approval. Approval Modes let you move at your own pace: from suggest (see a draft before it goes anywhere), to ask each time, to a guarded auto for low-stakes routine tasks. Anything that could affect a learner's record or involves a sensitive communication always requires a human review, and that cannot be turned off. Agents reach you on Telegram or Slack so you can approve from anywhere.

What happens to learner enquiries that come in outside office hours?

That is when many prospective learners look. On the desktop app an agent works while the app is open. To cover evenings and weekends unattended, you move that agent to the hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan and it keeps reading enquiries, drafting replies, and updating your register while your laptop is closed. You stay in approval mode either way, so nothing reaches a prospective learner without the sign-off you have set.

Is this replacing teaching staff or administrative workers?

No. It removes the administration, not the teaching or the pastoral relationship. The work it takes over is the part of the week everyone already resents: entering attendance data, chasing missing payments, sending the same progress update to thirty parents, filing enrolment forms. Hand that to an agent and your staff spend their hours on learner outcomes, subject expertise, and the human moments that actually move people. A small institution ends up with the administrative output of a much larger one without adding headcount.

Can I build an agent around the way our institution actually works?

Yes. The teams and jobs shown on this page are a starting point, not the limit. You can build a custom AI agent for education and training around any task your institution repeats: pulling attendance data for a specific funding body format, chasing employer sponsors for progress report sign-off, sending end-of-module assessments to learners on a schedule, or managing the waiting list for a high-demand course. You describe the job in plain English, tell it which apps to use and when to run, and it handles that work on a schedule or when something triggers it.

Is learner and parent data kept private and secure?

Your data stays yours. App credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, the agent's memory of how your institution works stays on your own machine, and your data is never used to train models. Every action an agent takes is logged step by step with screenshots, so you can see exactly what it read and did with a learner's or parent's details. If you need everything to stay on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

Does our team need to be technical, and how quickly can we get started?

No code is needed, and most institutions have their first agent running the same day. If you can brief a new member of staff, you can brief an agent: you describe the job in plain English. Connecting an app like your email inbox or your enrolment spreadsheet is a guided click-and-approve step that takes about a minute. The agent can start answering enrolment enquiries or logging attendance as soon as its apps are linked. You keep it in approval mode while you build trust, then hand over the routine tasks once it has earned it.

What does it cost, and is it worth it for a small training provider?

It is built to pay for itself in hours recovered. A single agent typically lifts several hours of administration off each team member each week, and answering enrolment enquiries in minutes rather than days tends to convert more prospects into confirmed learners. What you pay scales with how many agents you run and whether any run unattended in the cloud, so most providers start with one agent on whatever wastes the most time and add more as it proves out.
