Who it’s for

If your institution sees itself in any of these three scenarios, this is your solution.

1

AI-confident with a daytime staff

Your team covers complex daytime cases and you trust AI to carry the routine volume around the clock. You want human backup only for the after-hours complex cases your team is not there to handle.

2

High overnight volume, low overnight staffing

Your inbound volume does not stop overnight, but staffing it with people does not make sense. AI resolves the routine load 24/7 and a live agent covers the after-hours exceptions.

3

Phasing toward full automation

You are building confidence in AI as the primary channel and want a human safety net during the transition. This solution lets AI lead while keeping live agents available for the hours your team is offline.

Common questions

Questions buyers ask.

01

−

How is this different from 24x7 AI + Human?

In 24x7 AI + Human, live agents are available around the clock. In this solution, AI runs 24/7 but human escalation is available only during after-hours periods. It is the right fit when your own staff covers complex daytime cases and you want human backup only when they are offline.

02

+

What happens to a complex case during business hours?

During business hours, complex cases route to your institution's staff with full context, since AI handles the routine volume and your team is available for the rest. Human BlackBeltHelp escalation activates during your configured after-hours window.

03

+

Can we change the after-hours window over time?

Yes. The coverage window is configurable and can be adjusted as your staffing or volume patterns change.

04

+

How is student PII handled?

All traffic is encrypted in transit. Personalized responses require authenticated verification. BlackBeltHelp is SOC 2 Type II compliant and FERPA-aligned.

05

+

Is Spanish included?

Yes. Bilingual AI coverage runs 24/7, and after-hours human agents cover Spanish as well, at no additional charge.

06

+

How long does deployment take?

Most institutions go live in eight to ten weeks.
