About Roary

Mizzou faculty and staff can use the Roary communications toolkit to let undergraduate students know how and why to text with Roary.

I'm here to help students.

Roary is powered by EdSights, which uses AI to understand the student voice via text message and identify the underlying issues students face.

This student retention tool is fully FERPA compliant and securely handles student data with state of the art technology.

Watch Roary in action

In this video demo, Roary texts a student with a temperature check toward the beginning of the semester, responds with resources based on the student’s needs, and then answers other questions from the student.

Mizzou’s student outreach team also receives information about this student’s need for academic support and follows up with the student.
