SKLchat Shines at EduTECH Innovation Alley Shark Tank Finals!

The SKLchat team had an incredible time at EduTECH, showcasing our AI-powered chatbot at Innovation Alley, where some of the most forward-thinking education solutions take the stage. Making it through to the finals was the cherry on top! Rob, our resident SKLchat expert, delivered a dynamic pitch that highlighted how SKLchat is revolutionizing school communication—and the crowd loved it.

Rob’s presentation struck a chord with attendees, many of whom could relate to the challenges families face when searching for school information. Whether it’s finding out when photo day is, where to sign up for parent-teacher interviews, or just trying to figure out the uniform shop hours, the struggle is real. And for prospective families? Trying to get details about school tours without drowning in search results is a frustration many have experienced firsthand.

Here’s the Problem (and the SKLchat Solution)

Rob posed a simple question to the crowd: What if you could just ask instead of search?

Enter SKLchat—the AI chatbot designed specifically for schools. Unlike generic chatbots or sales-focused systems, SKLchat pulls data from school calendars, newsletters, FAQs, and websites to provide instant, accurate answers. It's tailored for school communities, empowering both current and prospective families to get the information they need instantly.

Why is this so important? Here are some quick stats Rob shared:

  • 74% of people prefer chatbots for straightforward questions.
  • 80% of chatbot users report a positive experience.
  • Up to 64% would rather use a chatbot than navigate a website.

The Feedback? Loud and Clear

The EduTECH crowd agreed: finding school information can take too much time, especially when you’re in a hurry. Schools are busy places with complex systems, but families just want answers—fast. SKLchat bridges that gap, making life easier for parents, staff, and prospective families alike.

We’re thrilled that SKLchat’s innovative approach resonated with the EduTECH community, and we’re excited with what awaits as we grow in the school market. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, cheered us on, and helped make this event unforgettable. Here’s to a future where finding school information is as simple as typing a question!
