# InStage

> Voice AI platform for higher education that runs structured student conversations at scale.

InStage provides governed Voice AI agents designed for experiential learning and career services programs at colleges and universities across North America. The platform helps institutions solve the student support scalability problem — enabling personalized, one-to-one conversations with every student without adding staff workload.

## Platform Modules

InStage offers five core modules, each delivering structured voice conversations, instant student feedback, and staff-ready analytics:

- [Career Exploration](https://instage.io/career-path-calls): Voice AI calls that help undecided students explore career paths through interest-based discovery with actionable next steps.
- [Job Search Check-in](https://instage.io/job-search-check-in): Recurring voice check-ins that maintain student accountability and momentum during job search with SMART goal tracking.
- [Resume Assist](https://instage.io/#modules): AI-assisted resume and cover letter tailoring matched to specific job postings with section-by-section scoring.
- [Mock Interview](https://instage.io/mock-interview): Voice AI interview simulations with dynamic, responsive questioning across screening, behavioral, and final rounds.
- [Guided Reflection](https://instage.io/reflection-calls): Voice AI calls to process co-op, internship, or work-integrated learning experiences with competency tracking.

## How It Works

1. Staff configure assignments, choosing modules, timelines, and student groups.
2. Students engage in 5-15 minute voice conversations via web call, phone call, or scheduled session.
3. Students receive instant personalized feedback after each session.
4. Staff access individual session reports and aggregate cohort analytics.

Deployment options include structured assignments with deadlines and self-serve practice available 24/7.
