Introducing N.O.R.A (Navigate360's Optimized Response Assistant)

N.O.R.A (Navigate360’s Optimized Response Assistant) is more than an AI-powered feature within Digital Threat Detection (DTD); she is your assistant designed to help schools and safety teams quickly analyze and respond to situations and concerns in student communications. By providing key insights, context, and highlights about the student-authored texts, N.O.R.A reduces the time spent reviewing alerts, which helps staff take meaningful actions faster and more intentionally. 

With N.O.R.A, you are never alone in protecting your students - she is a part of your team. She helps you see what matters, so you can act faster and ensure no student falls through the cracks.

What Does N.O.R.A Do For You?

N.O.R.A isn’t just about identifying risks—she empowers school safety teams to act by providing the right information at the right time.

• Instant Insights: Surfaces key details from flagged messages, so staff can act faster and with confidence.
• Smart Context Analysis: Goes beyond identifying keywords by helping you understand phrases and patterns related to self-harm, bullying, mental health concerns, and other potential signs or threats.
• Faster Decision-Making: Reduces time spent reviewing alerts, so safety teams can focus on support and intervention.
• A New Level of Awareness: Ensures no warning sign is buried under an avalanche of notifications

Why Do Schools Need N.O.R.A?

We've heard your biggest challenges in managing overwhelming online information - it truly comes down to time and needing to act quicker. Without N.O.R.A, schools struggle to filter through the digital noise, leading to missed warning signs and slower response times. With N.O.R.A, schools benefit from:

• Proactive Student Support: Detect early indicators of self-harm, depression, or violence.
• Reduced Alert Fatigue: Focus on the alerts that truly matter instead of being overwhelmed, understand how critical they are at a glance.
• Empowered School Staff: Enable administrators and counselors to intervene effectively, before issues escalate.

How Does N.O.R.A Work?

• An alert is flagged by Digital Threat Detection’s advanced AI models.
• N.O.R.A processes the content, identifying key themes, urgency, and context.
• Smart insights are delivered directly to administrators, prioritizing the most relevant information.
• School teams review and respond, ensuring timely and appropriate intervention.

N.O.R.A is the first to act when alerts come in. She sifts through flagged content for you, uncovering hidden meanings, slang, figurative language, and even foreign language references to give you the full picture, instantly.
