Frequently asked questions

What is the Student advising template?

Advisers see many students and each conversation builds on the last. Acta records goals, progress since last time, what's in the way and the plan by term, so the next session starts where this one ended.

Does it keep a course plan?

Yes. It records the course or activity plan by term.

Can it suggest services for the student?

It lists the tasks and any services the adviser suggested in the session.

Can AI write the Student advising from a meeting?

Yes. Acta records the meeting on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or in person with the mobile app, and writes the Student advising afterwards from what was said. Anything the meeting didn't cover is shown as missing, not made up.

Do I need a bot in the meeting to get the Student advising?

No. The Acta desktop app and Chrome extension record from your own computer, so no bot joins the call. When you can't attend, the Acta notetaker can join from your calendar instead.

Is the template free to try?

Yes. Acta is free for 15 days, with unlimited recordings and transcriptions, and every report template included.
