Schools send circulars, app notifications and WhatsApp messages, and many parents still miss them. A short AI voice call in the parent's language gets noticed, and gets an answer: "yes, I'll attend the PTM", "fees by Friday", "the new bus timing is fine". Schools use it for fee instalments, PTM and event reminders, transport changes, urgent notices and admission follow-ups. It is part of the education use cases we see most on our platform, alongside coaching institutes and publishers.

Fee reminder
Namaste {{parent_name}} ji, {{school}} se automated call. {{student_name}} ki {{term}} ki fees {{amount}} rupaye {{due_date}} tak due hai. Main aapko payment link SMS kar sakti hoon. Kya aap tab tak payment kar payenge?
PTM reminder
Namaste {{parent_name}} ji, {{school}} se automated call. {{student_name}} ki class {{class}} ka PTM {{date}} ko {{time}} hai. Kya aap aa payenge?
Say class numbers the way parents say them ("aathvi", "dasvi"); see pronunciation of numbers.
Transport changes
Route and timing changes are exactly the message parents must not miss. A call confirms they heard it, and the pickup point, and flags anyone who has a problem for the transport desk.
Good practice for school calls
- Identify the school and say it is automated.
- Speak to the parent, not the child; confirm before sharing fee details.
- Keep calls inside a reasonable window (for example 10:00-19:00).
- Store parent data securely; see DPDP compliance for voice AI.
