Capio Introduces Capio Engage to Transform How Institutions Guide Students From Browsing to Enrolment
New AI-powered solution delivers instant, personalized guidance to prospective students while equipping institutions with enriched lead insights
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Feb. 04, 2026 – Capio, an AI-driven education technology company designed to support institutions across the student decision and enrollment journey, launched by ApplyBoard in 2025, today introduces Capio Engage, a powerful AI solution that helps institutions engage with prospective students visiting an institution website and convert them into qualified applicants. Built to meet rising expectations for speed, personalization, and clarity, Capio Engage delivers real-time support throughout the early stages of the student journey – from discovery to eligibility assessment. Institutions today face a growing volume of inquiries, fragmented systems, and students who expect answers quickly. Research from Harvard Business Review shows that organizations responding to inquiries within the first hour are nearly seven times more likely to qualify an inquiry than those that respond later. Capio Engage directly addresses this gap with an intelligent, conversational AI advisor that guides students, captures contact details, evaluates eligibility, and equips institutional teams with actionable insights.
“Students are exploring more destinations and broadening their application strategies, and the one that responds first often wins their attention,” says Darin Lee, General Manager at Capio. “Capio Engage transforms the front end of the enrollment journey. Institutions can now meet students where they are – instantly, accurately, and at scale – while giving recruitment and admissions teams the information they need to focus on the strongest prospects.”
Capio Engage was designed to remove the friction students often experience when navigating university websites. Through a conversational interface, it helps students explore programs, understand requirements, and receive immediate answers to general and eligibility-related questions.
“In today’s highly competitive environment, institutions cannot afford missed inquiries or inconsistent information,” says Jimmy Battaglia, Head of Growth at Capio. “Capio Engage gives students the confidence that every question will be answered, and gives institutions full visibility into each prospect’s journey. It’s a sophisticated, data-informed way to strengthen recruitment outcomes.”
Capio continues to expand its ecosystem of AI-powered education technology solutions, built on ApplyBoard’s more than a decade of experience supporting millions of applications across 1,000+ institutions worldwide. Capio Engage complements the company’s broader goal of creating a fully integrated, end-to-end technology platform that modernizes how institutions engage, assess and admit students..
