About Mainstay

Mainstay is a student- and employee-engagement platform built around behaviorally intelligent chatbots that reach people via SMS and web chat. It sends personalized, proactive nudges (for tasks like FAFSA, deposits, enrollment) and answers questions automatically in 100+ languages, while re-engaging students who have stopped out. It is aimed primarily at colleges, universities and K-12 institutions focused on enrollment, retention and student success, plus some workforce use cases.
