Welbee, a leading company known for helping schools and trusts collect and consolidate stakeholder feedback, has partnered with boutique analytics consultancy Rittman Analytics to launch an innovative new tool for education. The collaboration aims to enhance Welbee’s Edu Intelligence™ platform by integrating advanced AI and analytics technologies, providing schools with a cutting-edge solution to harness data and drive real change.
The new AI-powered assistant promises to revolutionise the way schools and trusts analyse stakeholder feedback. With the use of sophisticated tools such as Google BigQuery and Vertex AI, Rittman Analytics has introduced a range of capabilities designed to simplify data processing and accelerate decision-making. This collaboration is expected to have a major impact on the education sector, helping institutions utilise their data more effectively.
The key features of the new system include AI-driven pre-analysis, which automatically processes survey data and delivers immediate insights once surveys are completed. This eliminates the need for manual analysis, allowing schools to take action more quickly. Another notable feature is the Text-to-SQL chatbot, which enables users to query their data in a conversational manner, converting natural language into SQL queries to deliver real-time insights without requiring technical expertise. The platform also integrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to combine survey data with contextual knowledge from Welbee’s Wellbeing Toolkit, offering comprehensive, actionable recommendations for schools.
The goal of these new capabilities is to make data analysis easier, more accessible, and more effective for schools and trusts. By streamlining the data analysis process, the AI-powered assistant empowers schools to act on insights faster, gain a deeper understanding of their data, and explore trends through a user-friendly interface.
“Working with Rittman Analytics to develop the AI capabilities for our Edu Intelligence platform has been a transformative experience for both Welbee and our customers,” said Tim Handley, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Welbee. “The team’s expertise in AI and Google Cloud technologies has enabled us to unlock the true potential of our data, delivering faster, more actionable insights to our customers. The collaboration has been a success, and we are excited about the future of this platform.”
Mark Rittman, CEO at Rittman Analytics, also praised the partnership, noting, “Our goal was to combine the power of AI and analytics to tackle real challenges in education. With the launch of Intelligent Ed, we’ve developed a tool that not only simplifies data analysis but also provides schools with the actionable insights they need to make informed decisions.”
The collaboration between Welbee and Rittman Analytics is a significant step forward in the use of AI and data analytics in education. It demonstrates how cutting-edge technology can empower schools to make data-driven decisions, ultimately benefiting students and staff alike.
The new features of the Edu Intelligence platform are now available, and the partnership marks an exciting new chapter in the evolution of data analytics in the education sector.
