Ask Bo, NBOA’s AI Assistant

Bo Knows Independent School Business

Bo is NBOA’s AI-powered assistant, which will help you quickly get answers to your questions and identify resources that will help you improve your school’s business operations. Trained exclusively on NBOA’s publications, webinar archive and extensive document library, Bo was developed to meet the specific needs of independent school business leaders and draws on trusted NBOA resources created and vetted by industry experts. 

Bo provides content for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for consulting expertise or professional advice in legal, financial or other regulated fields. 

For the safety of your data, do not put confidential information, such as financials, personally identifiable information or board minutes, into this tool.

For best results, use Bo conversationally. If the initial answer isn’t what you need, continue by giving Bo more specific instructions on what you are looking for.

Ask BO FAQ's

An AI-powered assistant designed to help independent school business leaders quickly find reliable answers to their questions and the most relevant resources in NBOA’s vast online library.

NBOA books, industry guidance, research reports, Net Assets articles, webinar recordings and slide decks, and all material in the online library, such as sample policies, RFPs, job descriptions and much more.

NBOA Connect conversations (because these have not been vetted by industry experts), BIIS school data (this data is private), Career HQ job listings (this is a separate site), most NBOA Annual Meeting sessions (because they are available to attendees for a limited time).

Bo is trained on NBOA’s highly reliable and thoroughly vetted intellectual property, which is very specific to the field of independent school business. This means Bo draws on more accurate and contextually appropriate material when formulating answers. Bo will also connect users to the most relevant NBOA resources developed for their particular needs.
