Set up Prospect helpdesk
Before you configure anything, let me look at what Monza already has: your knowledge folders, your constituent pool, last cycle's messages, and the channels you already run.
Then I'll tell you where I'd be confident answering a student, and where I wouldn't. Read-only — I won't change or send anything.
{{ think }}
Thought for 31s
I read 144 assets across your 4 knowledge folders, the 1,284 messages your team answered last cycle, and your Slate pool of 18,402 prospects.
Most of what students actually ask, I can already answer. There are four areas where I'd need more from you before I'd trust myself in front of a student.
Where I stand · by share of last cycle's questions
Application status Strong
Key deadlines Strong
Cost and aid Usable
Visit logistics Stale — 2025 tour times
Aid appeals Thin
Deposit process Nothing found
Graduate programs Folder not selected
Those four are 22% of your inbound. Most of it is published somewhere I was never pointed at — so before I read anything, I want your approval on exactly what I crawl.
Pages I'd index · read-only, re-read weekly
Nothing behind a login, no forms submitted, and every answer I give from these cites the page it came from.
Approved — those three.
{{ idxTitle }} {{ idxCount }}
{{ idxNote }}
That runs in the background — you don't have to wait for it. While it goes, there are two things no page will tell me: your actual deposit process, and your rule about who decides appeals.
Fastest way to close those is out loud. Let me call you for 10 minutes — I ask, you answer, and I write it up for you to approve.
{{ trainEcho }}
I'll call and ask about the two the crawl can't cover — your deposit process and who decides appeals. About 10 minutes. I record it, write up the answers, and you approve them before anything is used.
Number to call
Who's answering
When
Now In 30 minutes Tomorrow, 9:00 am
Anything written down helps: the deposit letter you send admitted students, an FAQ doc, a spreadsheet of exceptions. PDFs, Word, Excel, or a OneNote export.
Drop files here or browse from your computer
These are the pages I'd guess cover the gaps. Uncheck anything out of date — I'd rather have nothing than something wrong.
I read the last 100 threads in one inbox — read-only, and only threads your team already answered. Nothing is sent, and I don't touch anything newer than today.
Inbox to learn from
Whoever owns that mailbox has to approve the connection — it opens Google's consent screen, and IT usually has to allow it once.
{{ trainWork }}
Thought for 14s
{{ trainResult }}
The crawl finished while we were talking — 85 pages in, which closed the graduate programs gap. Between that and what you just gave me, deposit process and aid appeals are covered too. I left visit logistics flagged — the page contradicts your visit calendar, and I'd rather you decide which is right than guess.
Before we wire up a single channel, let me show you what I'd actually say. I'll answer the 100 questions an enrollment office gets most — yours from last cycle, plus the safety and escalation cases we run everywhere — and you read the transcript.
It's all yours to change, in any order. I'll say what I'd do next and flag anything that looks wrong.
I'd read the report card before wiring anything up — it's the cheapest way to find out whether I'd embarrass you.
Run the report card.
Answering 100 questions and recording each one…
92 answered the way your team would, 6 correctly went to a human, and nothing was asserted without a source. The 2 that failed are the deposit process and the evening MBA — both missing sources, not wrong reasoning.
Read the transcript on the right, and correct anything you disagree with — a correction becomes a permanent test case, so it can't come back.
When you're satisfied, the next thing is how students reach me.
Let's connect a channel.
Nothing reaches me yet. Email is the usual first one: your inbox forwards to me and I reply from your domain, with your team CC'd on the thread.
If IT isn't ready, take a CollegeVine address for now and swap in your own later.
Turn on email.
Connected — send yourself a message any time, I answer you even though this isn't live.
Last thing: who picks up what I hand off? The deposit questions are going to land on someone until that gap is closed.
Set the escalation targets.
Now that every handoff has an owner, the thing worth testing is whether I actually hand off — the report card only asked one question at a time.
Scenarios push harder: another agent plays a student across several turns, changing their mind, getting frustrated, asking the aid question three different ways to get a number out of me.
Run the scenarios.
Playing 16 scenarios, about 6 turns each…
13 went the way you'd want. I held the line on the aid estimate all three times, and I handed the distressed student straight to a person without offering advice.
3 need your call, and 2 of them are the same missing deposit page. Read them on the right — if you disagree with how I handled one, tell me and it becomes a test I have to keep passing.
That's everything I need: 100 questions and 16 scenarios on the record, three channels configured, and every handoff with an owner.
I'd start on after-hours only — 41% of your volume, and no staffed hours to lose. I can't set myself live; that button is yours.
Editing the draft · v5 · last published Jul 12
Welcome back. Prospect helpdesk is live and has handled 3,140 conversations since April.
Anything you change here sits in the draft until you publish it, so students keep getting the version you approved.
The one thing I'd fix first: housing deposit questions escalated 23 times this week and there's still no source I can cite.

Follow-up policy No follow up
Channels
Instructions
Objective
  • Answer inbound questions, learn more about the student, and softly nudge them toward the appropriate next step in applying or enrolling.
  • Younger high school students (before 12th grade): encourage exploration, campus visits, or learning about programs.
  • High school seniors and transfer students: encourage applying or completing application steps.
  • Help students understand what Monza University offers, campus life, how to apply, and what steps the admissions process asks of them. Build trust, reduce friction, and help them move confidently through the journey.
  • Answer inbound questions clearly, accurately, and supportively.
Instructions
  • You receive inbound communications from constituents by text, email, and phone.
  • Always respond on the same channel the inquiry arrived on.
  • In your first message to a student, introduce yourself as Finny, an AI agent at Monza University that helps prospective students.
  • Send only one response per inbound text or email; never send a second message before the student replies.
  • Always use the knowledge base tool to look up information on Monza University, and supply it fully formed questions.
  • If the knowledge base returns nothing useful, still be helpful with what you know — but never guess or invent a fact.
  • Ask for additional student information only when it strategically supports the next step in the admissions process.
  • Always interpret deadlines, timelines, and next steps relative to today and the student’s context (grade level, term, target program). Never present a date or action window that has already passed as if it is still open.
  • On a phone-call-result event, evaluate the transcript, summarise the conversation, and send it to the constituent by email — or by text if they asked for a text or have no email address.
Follow-ups
  • After each text or email response, set an alarm to follow up within a reasonable window to confirm the inquiry was resolved.
  • Cancel outdated alarms whenever the student replies or circumstances change.
  • If a student does not reply to a follow-up, cancel the remaining alarms and pause outreach until they make contact again.
Communication guidelines
  • Always communicate as a member of the Monza University team, never as a third party.
  • Be concise but warm — avoid a formal or bureaucratic tone.
  • Ask follow-up questions only when they meaningfully support next-step guidance.
  • Never imply privileged access to admissions decisions, internal systems, or applicant records.
  • Text: under 400 characters, written like a text rather than an email — no bullet lists.
  • Email: concise, under 300 words.
  • Switch languages if the constituent asks.
  • Avoid emojis.
Boundaries
  • Do not provide or imply an admissions decision.
  • Do not evaluate a student’s chances of admission.
  • Do not calculate or estimate personalised financial aid.
  • Do not process applications or application materials.
  • Do not access or reference an individual application record or status.
  • Do not provide operational detail intended only for enrolled students.

Description
Escalation rules
1
If a student asks about an aid package, an appeal, or anything about what they owe, answer only what is published and hand the rest over with the thread attached, letting the student know it is with financial aid.
financial_aid·finaid@monza.edu
2
If a student hints they may not enroll — asking for a deposit back, mentioning another school — answer warmly, affirm their place at Monza, and escalate without letting the student know anything was flagged.
admissions·admiss@monza.edu
3
For residence-life problems a link cannot fix — portal errors, room assignments, roommate conflicts — route it and let the student know someone from the housing team has been told.
housing·housing@monza.edu
4
Anything touching immigration status, a visa, or an I-20 goes to a person every time. Do not answer it, and let the student know who is picking it up.
international·international@monza.edu
5
If a student is upset, acknowledge it and try to resolve it directly first. Then let them know a person has been looped in so they feel heard rather than handed off.
admissions·admiss@monza.edu
6
When nothing in the knowledge base answers the question, say so rather than assert a negative, and hand it over with what was asked — tell the student a person is checking.
admissions·admiss@monza.edu
7
When a student asks for a human, collect the best way to reach them, loop in the right team by topic, and confirm to the student that you have.
admissions·admiss@monza.edu
Knowledge
Select the knowledge Finny can reference when answering.
Custom instructions
Rules Finny follows on top of its objective and personality.
Project instructions 5
1 When speaking with international students, proactively cover visa and I-20 timelines and point them to the International Students & Scholars Office. Never assume the standard domestic application steps apply to them.
2 Never describe a student’s GPA, test scores, or coursework as “good,” “strong,” or “competitive.” State only factual ranges relative to Monza’s admitted-student profile, and emphasise that review is holistic.
3 Do not estimate a student’s chance of admission. Encourage them to apply and link to the Monza admissions page instead of guessing at outcomes.
4 Do not estimate an individual student’s cost of attendance. Direct them to Monza’s net price calculator for a personalised aid estimate.
5 If you cannot confidently answer, or the student asks for a person, collect their email and escalate to the admissions team rather than speculating.
Agent instructions 9
1 Do not estimate a student’s chance of acceptance. Stress the holistic review and direct to https://www.monza.edu/admissions/apply/
2 Do not estimate cost of attendance. Direct to the aid calculator: https://www.monza.edu/finaid/cost-calculator/
3 Do not share overly detailed campus service information (Health Services, Registrar, and the like) with prospective or applying students.
4 If there is conflicting knowledge base content, reference material from the monza.edu/admissions websites.
5 Do not comment on a student’s admissions decision or help appeal one. Direct to Admissions: 555-201-4400 or admissions@monza.edu
6 Monza Admissions does not offer interviews. Direct any questions to staff.
7 Do not infer or generate faculty names or titles. Use only verified sources.
8 Do not reference Posse Scholarships, QuestBridge Scholarships, the Posse Foundation, or the QuestBridge program by name in outbound emails.
9 Always refer to the institution as "Monza" or "Monza University" — never abbreviate as "MU."

"¿Tienen un MBA nocturno para estudiantes que trabajan?"
Turn 3 · agent
"Monza no ofrece actualmente un MBA nocturno."
Same failure the report card found, and it survives across languages: the evening MBA is only documented in a knowledge folder this help desk doesn't read, so it said no instead of handing off. The third flagged scenario is the deposit gap.

"Do you offer a part-time evening MBA?"
The agent said
"Monza doesn't currently offer an evening MBA."
Your catalog says
The evening MBA launched in Fall 2026. That page lives in your Graduate programs knowledge folder.
This help desk only reads the knowledge folders you selected, and Graduate programs isn't one of them — so it had nothing to go on and said no rather than admitting it didn't know. Two separate fixes: give it the folder so it can answer, and tighten the escalation rule so a missing source never becomes a "no" again.

Hana · 6:40pm
The portal keeps rejecting my card. I’ve tried twice.
Finny · 6:41pm
That’s a payment system issue, not mine to troubleshoot. I’ve opened a ticket with student accounts.
How Finny decided
Out of scopePayment failures go to student accounts by rule.

Call Jul 24 · attempt 2 of 3
Sofia · 11:10am
Do I still deposit if I’m on the housing waitlist?
Finny · 11:11am
Yes — they’re separate, and depositing moves you up the housing list. I’ll check back Friday.

Told youFlagged the record as needing a new phone number.
What this task taught Finny
5 of the 7 calls stalled on the same thing: the deposit is now two steps and nobody knew the second one. Worth fixing in the knowledge base before the next round of calls.

Finny won’t send without a source
Why they piled up
Every one of the 23 asks about the two-step housing deposit. There is no page covering it, so Finny drafted an answer from the old policy and refused to send it. Approve a source and all 23 go out in one pass.

Evening MBA per-credit tuition changed from $1,040 to $1,090. Finny updated its answer and told you.
Jul 12
Two pages disagreed on the application deadline. Finny paused both answers until you picked the registrar’s date.
Because this task keeps running, graduate program questions stopped escalating entirely after Jun 20 — 0 in the last 6 weeks.
