Finalsite Debuts New Communications Tools with Gen AI Features

K-12 community relationship management platform Finalsite has expanded its suite of communications products with a mobile app and mass communications software.

The new mobile app features individualized student information, real-time chat with automatic translation, school notifications, events listings, and more. It was built to meet WCAG 2.1 standards, making it accessible for users with visual or hearing impairments.

The Finalsite Messages XR mass notifications tool allows schools to send e-mails, texts, voice calls, mobile app notifications, website alerts, and social media posts, all through one interface. It features multi-language translation, built-in newsletter design tools, and automated e-mail workflows. In addition, an integrated generative AI writing assistant allows users to quickly draft messages that are customized for various communications channels.

"In today's complex educational landscape, effective engagement requires a multifaceted approach," said Jon Moser, Finalsite's founder and CEO. "Our expanded communications solutions empower schools to streamline their outreach efforts, foster stronger connections with their communities, and ultimately drive better outcomes through a single, secure platform."
