Amesite Announces Industry-Leading Results on User Retention across Programs, Increase in Sales Activity


DETROIT, Feb. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), a leading artificial intelligence software company offering a cloud-based learning platform for business and education markets, announces aggregate retention numbers for users enrolled in programs delivered on its technology stack, and its growing sales activity.

Amesite reports an overall retention rate (the percentage of enrollees that remain in a course) of 98% for paid learning experiences on its platform. These results overwhelmingly exceed industry norms. On average, online retention rates for paid online courses are only between 68-73%. Amesite retentions in specific categories follow:

  • 96% retention for technology upskilling programs, such as data science or electric vehicle technologies
  • 98% retention for professional development programs, such as implicit bias or building successful customer relationships
  • 97% retention for cohort-based programs, such as logistics or coding for gaming
  • 98% retention for self-paced programs, such as implicit bias or smart manufacturing

Amesite has reported on the importance of use of AI in education, including use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and integration of generative AI models to offer student support, to drive improved educational outcomes.

Amesite also reports an increase in sales activity, with its recent pivot to a no-setup fee offer with no minimums. Since Amesite’s pivot from high-cost sales to a repeatable motion with no set-up fee, the Company has seen a 169% increase in meetings held and a 118% increase in sales opportunities. Recent, key partnerships with Benedict College, Drake State Community and Technical College and West Virginia Northern Community College reflect acceptance of this offer.

Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Amesite, commented, “We invested deeply in the tech and we believe we are seeing the rewards of this now, in terms of user outcomes and reduced costs of delivery for us and for our Customers. Our AI-powered programs and infrastructure enable institutions to deliver learning with lower costs and price points, and we are working now to drive scale.” 

Mr. Sai Nittala, Amesite’s Senior AI Manager, commented, “Our use of NLP and generative AI in features and tools such as news feeds, AI-content generation, and 24/7 student support are based on studies on social media, which can now be used for the benefit of education.” 

Mr. Brandon Owens, Amesite’s VP Sales, commented, “Our technology investments have resulted in an offer that every college and university can leverage. Our partners appreciate our straightforward business terms and our ease of implementation.”
