Northstar College · Pathly
DemoStep 1 of 5
Illustrative demo on a fictional institution. Not client work.
The problem
Prospective learners ask the same questions at 11pm: which program fits, what it costs, when it starts, whether credits transfer. Most chat widgets answer from a static FAQ and end with a transcript. The catalog, CRM and calendar sit in other systems, so the conversation never becomes an application.
The worked example
Northstar College (fictional). A working adult wants to move from medical billing into healthcare IT, can study two evenings a week and needs to start before spring.
Grounded in the live catalog and policy pages rather than a static FAQ. Qualification is captured as part of the conversation. Connects to the CRM and scheduling tools your product already uses. English and Spanish conversations. Multi-tenant, so each institution in your product gets its own catalog, rules and branding.
AI inside the workflow
Pathly 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.

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.
- 03
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.
