The AI platform Capio, which launched last week as a separate legal entity to ApplyBoard, promises an “end-to-end” system that helps universities manage their international student enrolment.
“The international education sector is experiencing unprecedented transformation, yet institutions continue to rely on disconnected legacy systems and manual processes,” said Capio’s general manager, Darin Lee.
“We created Capio to revolutionise how institutions approach enrolment management, providing them with sophisticated solutions that solve their biggest challenges. This is not just about automating existing processes – it’s about creating frictionless, intuitive enrolment journeys.”
Capio operates independently of ApplyBoard, which means it is available to all institutions, “regardless of their existing recruitment partnerships” and “maintains strict data protection protocols” while also integrating well with institutions’ existing systems, the company said.
“As institutions face fragmented systems, manual processes, and resource constraints while working to meet enrolment targets, Capio’s integrated end-to-end platform streamlines planning and execution,” the company said.

Capio refers to itself as “a comprehensive suite of solutions designed for modern institutions” with “real-time” insights on student visas, integrated agent management, AI-driven enrolment planning tools and compliance tracking.
The news comes amid claims that ApplyBoard’s valuation – which was once thought to have hit $3.2 billion – has dropped sharply, with an analysis of its Fidelity funds by OPM Wire indicating the company’s value has declined by as much as 74% from its peak valuation.
In response, ApplyBoard told The PIE News that such valuations only represent “a moment in time” and stressed that it is actually primed for further growth.
