Customer Research
In a recent market and customer research study, we interviewed 20 college students to understand how they navigate academic and career planning using digital tools. Our research revealed core challenges faced by students and highlighted frustrations with existing platforms.
Challenges with Personalized Support: Many students struggle to find resources tailored to their unique academic paths and career goals. One student shared, “I wish there was one place where I could get help that’s specific to my major and school without sifting through endless websites.”
Overwhelming Information: Students often feel lost in the sheer volume of academic and career resources available, leading to stress and decision fatigue.
Dissatisfaction with Current Platforms: Current platforms often lack customization or user-friendly interfaces, leaving students searching for a tool that balances simplicity with relevant, institution-specific support.
Why These Pain Points Exist:
Lack of Tailored Guidance: Generic platforms fail to address school-specific needs.
Information Overload: Resources are scattered, overwhelming students with too much information.
Mismatch of Expectations: Students want a platform that’s easy to use but also offers in-depth, personalized support.
These insights have underscored the need for a solution like CollegeBot, which offers a simplified, university-specific experience, helping students confidently plan and achieve their academic and career goals.

Customer Segmentation
Prioritizing Freshman Explorers is essential as they represent the largest user base of incoming students needing immediate guidance. Early adoption of CollegeBot can establish long-term loyalty as they progress through college. Meeting the needs of Focused Scholars is also crucial, as they require more tailored academic support and professional development tools, which increases engagement and retention. Career Seekers are key users for CollegeBot’s career-focused features and can benefit from targeted job readiness resources, but they are prioritized slightly lower as they generally spend less time on academic resources.
