Frequently asked questions.
Honest answers about Mentivax, for schools who’ve been burned by complicated software before.
What is Mentivax?
Mentivax automates the everyday work of running a school, with a personal AI agent for every school. The agent answers questions from your school's own data and prepares work like fee reminders, substitute cover and reports for you to approve, while automated workflows send reminders, receipts and alerts on their own. Underneath is complete school management software: admissions, student records, fees, attendance, exams, timetable, transport, payroll, accounts, library, hostel and parent communication in one system.
What is the Mentivax Agent?
It is your school's own AI assistant. Ask it in plain words, like "Who owes fees in 8 STD for over 60 days?", and follow up just as you would with a colleague. It can prepare actions such as fee reminders in English or Tamil, substitute cover, leave applications, PTM bookings, revision worksheets and report exports, each with an exact preview. It only ever works within the permissions of the person using it, and nothing is sent until a person approves it. Staff can even ask it from WhatsApp.
Is Mentivax a school ERP?
Mentivax includes everything a school ERP does, from admissions and fees to exams, payroll and transport. The difference is that it also automates the work around those records: fee reminders, receipts and absence alerts go out on their own, and an AI agent prepares routine work for staff to approve. Most school software digitizes the work; Mentivax aims to automate it.
We already tried school software. It didn't work. Why is this different?
Most school software gives you dozens of screens and expects your staff to figure them out. In Mentivax you can simply type what you want, like "Issue TC for Kaveri" or "Who is absent today", and the right page opens with the details already filled in. And you only switch on the modules you actually use.
Do we have to use every module?
No. Mentivax has 23 modules, from fees and attendance to hostel and canteen. Start with the one that solves your biggest headache, often fee collection, and add more whenever you are ready. You only pay for the modules you use.
We already use school software. Can we switch?
Yes. We move your data for you: students, fee structure, past bills and receipts from Excel, CSV or your old software, checked row by row. If you prefer, start with the modules your current system lacks and move the rest later.
We're a small school with a tight budget. Can we afford this?
Mentivax is built for small and medium schools, not big city chains. You don't pay for modules you don't need. Start with just fee management, and add more only when you're ready. We'll work within your budget.
Our staff is not tech-savvy. Will they be able to use it?
If they can type a WhatsApp message, they can use Mentivax. Type a question like "How much fee is pending for Class 6?" and get the answer. The whole interface can also be switched to Tamil.
What happens to our old Excel files and registers?
We import everything for you: fees, student records, marks, whatever you have. You see every row before it is saved, and any row that cannot be imported is named, never silently dropped. You don't re-type anything.
Do parents need to install an app?
No. Parents get fee reminders, receipts, absence alerts and circulars on WhatsApp. They open the parent portal in any phone browser with their mobile number and a code sent on WhatsApp. No account to create, no app download needed.
Does Mentivax work in Tamil?
Yes. Staff screens and the parent portal switch between English and Tamil, and fee reminders on WhatsApp can be sent in Tamil.
How does Mentivax use AI?
AI drafts, a person decides. AI helps mark answer sheets, write question papers, lesson plans and report-card remarks, and answer questions about your school's data. Every suggestion is checked before anyone sees it, nothing involving money, marks or families happens without a person's approval, and children's names are removed before anything reaches the AI. Each AI feature can be switched off.
Is our school data safe?
Yes. Each school sees only its own data. Aadhaar numbers are stored encrypted and shown masked, every change is recorded in an audit log, and staff can sign in with two-factor security. Consent and data erasure follow the DPDP Act. It's far safer than an Excel file on one person's laptop.
