Use Case
We help future students find their personalized program
Studying is hard, but knowing what to study even harder. We built an interactive speech-to-speech study bot to guide future academics paths.
Student Guidance, Reimagined
At FH Oberösterreich, the search for the right degree now begins with a simple conversation. A new speech-to-speech study advisor—built by Prof. Dr. Andreas Auinger of the Digital Business Institute and Prof. Dr. Andreas Stöckl of the Digital Media Lab in collaboration with ExtensityAI—answers questions in real time, day or night, and in several languages. Ask about credits, curriculum details, or application deadlines, and the system responds as naturally as a human advisor.
What sets this advisor apart is its grasp of context. Drawing on Prof. Stöckl’s work in natural-language processing and Prof. Auinger’s focus on user-centred digital design, the bot moves beyond scripted replies. It consults a live knowledge base, refines each answer to reflect the latest programme information, and switches languages without missing a beat—opening the door to students far beyond German-speaking Austria.
Early impressions are promising. Prospective students arrive for interviews better informed, with questions that show a deeper understanding of their chosen fields. By lowering language and time barriers, the university is making its programmes easier to navigate and more welcoming to an international audience.
Curious what it feels like? Visit the FH Oberösterreich website and let the AI advisor guide you toward the study path that fits you best.
