Cohortly · EdTech AI module
Ask your enrollment and retention data a question in plain English.
Cohortly lets program leads and admins ask questions of enrollment, completion, retention and revenue data in plain English and get a table or chart back, scoped to what each user is already allowed to see.
A reference build, not software you license. It ships under your product's name.

Northstar Workforce Academy · Cohortly
DemoStep 1 of 3
Illustrative demo on a fictional institution. Not client work.
The problem
The data is in the product, but every new question (which cohort is slipping, which program fills last, where learners drop) becomes a report request. Customers want answers inside the product they already pay for, and a generic chatbot does not know what 'active learner' means for this institution.
The worked example
Northstar Workforce Academy (fictional). An employer admin asks which compliance courses are behind schedule for the March deadline.
Natural-language-to-SQL over your reporting database or warehouse, with a semantic layer for each institution's definitions, charting, and row-level permissions inherited from your product.
AI inside the workflow
Cohortly inside the product, not a chatbot beside it.
Switch between the product as it ships today and the same screen with the module working inside it. Ask a question, then approve what it prepares.
Northstar Learn · fictional product
Northstar Learn today: admins export spreadsheets and build the numbers by hand.
The assistant runs Cohortly, branded as Northstar Insights, the way it would ship under your product's name.
Illustrative demo on a fictional institution. Not client work.
What it does
What Cohortly does inside your product.
Best fit: SIS, analytics, student success.
Plain-English questions
Turns a question into a query over your data and returns a table or chart, with the query visible for anyone who wants to check it.
Institution context
Learns each institution's definitions (term, cohort, active, at-risk) so the same word means the right thing.
Summaries
Writes a short weekly read-out for each program lead.
Permissions kept
Answers only from data the user can already see in your product.
Where it comes from: Built on the text-to-SQL engine from a business-intelligence platform we built.

The Sprint
$10,000, two weeks, fixed
One AI feature working inside your product: running in your staging environment on your catalog, documents or synthetic data, behind a feature flag, delivered as pull requests. You also get quality and safety evals, a cost estimate on two models, a data-flow sheet and a fixed-price quote for production.

Targeted Unlock, then Capability Waves
Quoted at the end of the Sprint
The first production capability, delivered by pull request into your repo with no standing production access. Then the next module, on the foundation the first one built.
Built for education data
Controls your customers' security reviews ask about.
Each control is a design fact about how the module is built and how we work, not a compliance claim.
- Runs on your catalog, documents or data through the APIs your product already exposes. No rebuild.
- Sprint work uses synthetic or de-identified data and ships as pull requests to your repo. No production student data.
- Every answer that matters shows its source; material actions go to a person for approval.
- Built around FERPA, COPPA, accessibility and institutional requirements.
- Built to ship under your product's name. Model and hosting are your choice.
We build around your FERPA, COPPA, accessibility, security and institutional requirements. Compliance depends on the complete product, contracts, policies and operating environment; Datics does not present software engineering alone as legal certification.
