Signal Vine was awarded US Patent 10,311,037 covering the company’s Blended Messaging® approach, which combines one-to-one communication, highly targeted proactive nudges, scheduled and event-triggered message sending and an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Virtual Advisor chatbot. Signal Vine’s unique Blended Messaging® technology allows for automated AI messaging, and more importantly, timely and personalized message conversations that build relationships and help students reach their education goals.

“Leading higher education executives realize that texting with students is a must, but the question is how to do it at scale while still building strong student relationships,” said Signal Vine CEO Brian Kathman. “We have figured out how to humanize AI, allowing departments across higher education institutions to ensure the right message reaches the right student at the right time during a very noisy time in their lives. Many education leaders agree that technology, like a chatbot, is only one part of the solution. Signal Vine’s Blended Messaging® approach incorporates AI/chatbot technology into a more comprehensive messaging solution.
