Fall Release 2024

Our Fall graduating class of features makes it even simpler for alumni and students to connect (and staff to support).

By MAX LEISTEN

One thing we don’t do well is sit on our hands. So again we had a lot of conversations with our customers about more ways that we can make engagement simpler for alumni, students, and staff.

Meet our newest graduating class of engagement features! Better partnerships, better engagement, better data.

Oh, and if you’re not a customer yet, reach out to us. Troublemakers who want to challenge the status quo are our people.

Career Resources when and where they're needed

We’re excited to formally launch our new SmartResources feature to share your best, relevant tools, experts, jobs, etc. with students and alumni networking via Protopia. The symbiotic relationships between alumni and career services is one of the most critical success factors for a networking tool as broad and simple as Protopia. Career Services drives demand for alumni by encouraging students, and Alumni Affairs delivers a passionate, ready-to-help community of graduates.

Shout out to Denison and Pitt for their leadership here!

Magic Thank You

A few weeks ago we had a great conversation with Duke and other customers about assisting students with crafting “thank you” notes to responding alumni. You probably know firsthand how hard it is to say “thank you” when the help you received was, well, not all that helpful. So our engineers jumped at the opportunity to innovate and launched our new Magic Thank You feature. Based on thousands of past “thank you’s”, the request, and the alum’s responds, it generates a personalized recommendation simply by clicking on our magic wand. When we see a great idea, we jump at it.

Better Questions (beta)

Speaking of magic, we’re releasing more of it in October to help students (and alumni) better connect to one other. Asking for help is hard for most of us, so our new SmartCoach will craft a personalized question based on the expressed need, the institution, interests, and other factors. It’s now available in beta to customers so that we can get feedback and build on it.

Reporting, Referrals, and Accessibility

We have also spent a lot of time enhancing our reporting and analytics (in our Dashboard), improved our referral logic (how to share and report when an alum invites someone in their network to help), and shored up our accessibility. That last part is really important because inclusivity in networking is at the core of what we do.

Let us know what you think about these features and if we can show you exactly how they work. Better yet, bring your thinking cap to a demo to tell us how to improve these new capabilities. We light up when someone says “oh, this is probably not possible, but it would be cool if ...”

Let’s make it simpler!

Product Demo: SmartResources

Join Protopia CEO as he reviews our new SmartResources functionality and other new features included in our Fall 2024 graduating class.

SmartResources helps career centers and alumni shops share their best resources when and where students and alumni need them the most: when they ask for help from their alma mater.

Max will demo how it works and answer questions in real-time because we are all about questions and collaborating with schools on simple, inclusive engagement.

Ready to make it simple for everyone?

Let’s find a time for Max & team to show you just how smart, simple, and scalable it can truly be for alumni and students to connect to one another for advice and support. We promise you’ll be inspired by how artificial intelligence can be a force for good.

Protopia’s artificial intelligence technology makes it truly simple for everyone in your community to connect for advice and support. Without another app to sign up for or learn.

Delivering Alumni As A Service across the entire learner’s journey.

Welcome to the Future.
