What’s new with Gravyty: Deep dive into Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty

August 2025 Gravyty product updates

When we brought Ivy.ai and Ocelot together earlier this year, our goal wasn’t just to merge two products; it was to create a smarter, simpler, more connected way for institutions to engage students. 

In this blog, we’re breaking down all you need to know about Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty, including:

  • The proven impact Ivy & Ocelot delivers for students, staff, and institutions alike
  • The features that make it great
  • How their technology works together for a more powerful solution

Stronger together: Why Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty exists

Higher ed engagement is changing fast. Students expect instant answers, personalized support, and communication on the channels they use every day. At the same time, staff are balancing more with fewer resources.

That’s why earlier this year we brought together two leaders in higher ed AI-powered engagement—Ivy.ai and Ocelot—into a single, unified platform: Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty.

The goal was simple: take the best of both solutions, remove duplication, and give institutions one powerful platform designed for today’s (and tomorrow’s) student engagement challenges.

The best of both: How Ivy & Ocelot powers better, more scalable engagement with combined technology

Ivy.ai brought deep expertise in conversational AI, expansive integration and analytics capabilities, and an intuitive interface. Ocelot brought a powerful foundation of pre-trained higher education content, a comprehensive video library, and SMS capabilities. Together, they covered a lot of ground—but in separate lanes.

Now with Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty, those capabilities live under one roof. The result is a smarter, simpler, and more connected platform built for scale.

What does that mean for you?

Here’s how Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty pulls the best of both worlds into one product:

  • AI that feels human: 24/7 personalized, multilingual support that combines Ivy’s conversational AI with Ocelot’s proven virtual assistant framework. Students get answers that are accurate, empathetic, and refreshed daily with the latest information.
  • All channels, one platform: Reach students and constituents on the platforms they live, like SMS, WhatsApp, email, phone and live chat. Engagement happens everywhere, but staff manage it all from a single, user-friendly workspace.
  • Insights you can act on: Predictive analytics and real-time dashboards help you see what students need before they ask. Spot trends, reduce melt, and boost retention with confidence.
  • Built to connect: From CRMs and SIS to LMS platforms, Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty integrates seamlessly with the systems you already rely on. No silos. No double work.
  • Security you can trust: We know compliance is non-negotiable. Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty keeps student data safe while keeping engagement flowing by complying with the strictest industry standards including SOC2 Type 2, FERPA, HIPAA, GDPR TX-RAMP, and State-RAMP.

With Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty, students get faster answers, personalized support, and the confidence that their institution is truly listening. Staff benefit from fewer repetitive questions, streamlined workflows, and the ability to focus on supporting students without added strain. 

And for institutions, the payoff is clear: higher retention, stronger ROI, and an engagement strategy that’s not just built for today, but ready for the future.

One platform, better student engagement

By uniting Ivy.ai and Ocelot, we’ve built something stronger than the sum of its parts: a single engagement platform that’s flexible, powerful, and designed to grow with your institution.

That’s the promise of Ivy & Ocelot from Gravyty—and it’s just the beginning. We can’t wait for you to dive in and experience the difference!
