HelioCampus Launches Theia Analyst, Bringing Transparent, Governed AI to Higher Education Decision Support

New AI-powered agent turns complex data into actionable insights.

 

Nashville, TN – October 28, 2025 – HelioCampus today announced the launch of Theia Analyst, an AI-powered agent designed to transform institutional data into verified, actionable insights for use by stakeholders across campus. Unveiled at EDUCAUSE 2025, Theia Analyst is the first-to-market solution for AI in Decision Support.

Theia Analyst addresses a critical challenge in higher education: leveraging vast amounts of institutional data to inform key decisions across campus. By integrating a sophisticated conversational interface with institutional data governance, Theia Analyst delivers verified insights, interactive visuals, and actionable recommendations, allowing leaders—from enrollment management and student success to program chairs and Institutional Research—to ask questions in plain language and get answers they can trust.

“Theia Analyst is a key step in realizing our vision for HelioCampus: empowering high confidence decisions using data from across campus to support Institutional Performance Management,” said Darren Catalano, CEO and Founder of HelioCampus. “We understand that for AI to be valuable for higher ed, it must be accurate and precise. Theia Analyst provides that necessary transparency, allowing our clients to move with speed while ensuring every insight adheres to their specific institutional rules and data definitions. This capability connects institutional data to performance, turning the use of data analytics across campus from an aspiration into a daily practice.”

What sets Theia Analyst apart is its built-in commitment to trust and transparency:

  • Governed by Design: The core Semantic Manager ensures Theia’s outputs reflect institutional business rules and data governance policies. It prevents the “black box” problem by ensuring the AI operates within defined guardrails.

  • Accuracy Above All Else: Users receive answers they can fully trust through in-line confidence indicators, linked source materials, semantic validation, and, crucially, access to the underlying SQL queries that produced the result.

  • Accessible Across Campus: The conversational AI interface makes data accessible to a broad number of stakeholders, turning complex reports into easy, tactical insights in minutes.

Availability and Free Trial Program

Theia Analyst is available immediately, and HelioCampus is inviting all clients to experience the power of Theia Analyst through a structured trial program.
