AI-Powered Tools for Australian Training and Education Management

AI that works inside your SIS, not around it

Most AI tools sit outside your student system, so staff copy data in and paste answers back. SELMA builds AI into the platform: workflows from plain English, reports from a question, and inboxes that sort themselves, all inside SELMA's secure infrastructure, built for AVETMISS, CRICOS, USI and TEQSA obligations.

AI Workflow Builder

Automation usually needs a specialist who knows the trigger logic. In SELMA you describe the outcome in plain English, like "send parents an email when a student is marked absent", and the AI builds the trigger, conditions and actions as a visual workflow you review before it goes live.

  • Plain-English prompts turned into a working workflow
  • Visual flowchart to review and adjust before activating
  • Validation checks for conflicts and loops before launch

AI Report Builder

A simple question shouldn't need a power user or a BI consultant. Ask for "total fees by programme, including GST, with a chart" and SELMA's AI picks the data, joins the right records, applies the filters and builds the report for you to review and save.

  • Reports built from a question, not a filter screen
  • Columns, filters and charts pre-filled for review
  • Save and reuse reports across your team

Intelligent Email Processing

During peak enrolment, admissions inboxes fill faster than anyone can triage them. SELMA reads inbound email to admissions, finance and student services, links it to the right student or creates a new lead, files attachments against the record and flags what needs a person.

  • Enquiries linked to existing records or created as new leads
  • Attachments categorised and filed on the student profile
  • Sender verification plus spam, virus and DMARC checks

MCP Server for AI Assistants

Your staff already use AI assistants, but pasting student data into them is a privacy risk. SELMA's Model Context Protocol server lets Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot query live SELMA data directly, through your permissions and with every request logged.

  • Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot to live SELMA data
  • No copy-paste or screenshots of student records
  • All access runs through SELMA permissions and audit logs

Safety-First by Design

Education is one of the most privacy-sensitive sectors there is. SELMA's AI runs in an enclosed environment, student data never leaves our infrastructure without your consent, and every AI-assisted action keeps a full audit trail of what was processed and what was done.

  • AI only sees what each user's role is allowed to see
  • Full audit trail of data processed, suggestions and actions
  • Built for the Australian and NZ Privacy Acts, GDPR and FERPA
