Empowering Schools with AI: Welbee and Rittman Analytics Redefine StakeholderEngagement

BRIGHTON, UK. February 3rd, 2025 - Welbee, a multi-award-winning company offering surveys to help trusts and schools collect stakeholder feedback and consolidate their data in one place, has partnered with Rittman Analytics, a boutique analytics consultancy specialising in AI-driven solutions, to develop an innovative proof of concept (PoC) for their Edu Intelligence™ platform.

This collaboration has resulted in an AI-powered assistant designed to transform how trusts and schools utilize stakeholder feedback and broader data to drive real change

The partnership focused on integrating advanced analytics and AI technologies to enhance how schools manage their data. Leveraging tools like Google BigQuery and Vertex AI, Rittman Analytics introduced a range of capabilities to empower Welbee to streamline analysis and uncover actionable insights, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.

Key features of the technical solution include:

• AI-Driven Pre-Analysis: Automates survey data processing to deliver insights immediately upon survey closure, eliminating manual analysis and accelerating time to action.

• Text-to-SQL Chatbot: Allows users to query data conversationally, translating natural language into SQL queries for real-time insights without technical expertise.

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Integration: Combines survey data with contextual knowledge from Welbee’s Wellbeing Toolkit to provide comprehensive, actionable recommendations.

By integrating these innovations, schools can now:

• Act on insights more rapidly.

• Gain a deeper understanding through combining their stakeholder feedback with their wider data.

• Empower users with a user-friendly platform for exploring their data.
