Everything families ask before subscribing.
It's an AI assistant, not a person. It helps with day-to-day work: building a college list, explaining ED/EA strategy, coaching essays, tracking deadlines and demystifying financial aid, at any hour. It won't call admissions offices, write essays for your student, or replace your school counselor's judgment. Most families use it alongside their counselor.
No — and that's deliberate. Colleges expect authentic student work, and applications can be rescinded over ghostwritten essays. Instead, the assistant coaches: it reviews uploaded drafts, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and gives specific revision guidance while preserving the student's voice.
Upload a Word or PDF document in the assistant chat. You'll get structured feedback on story, structure, and language. Every document is saved in your library with a revision status (draft, in review, feedback ready, revised) so you can track progress across versions.
When you add a college, the assistant researches that program's current admissions requirements and shows where each detail came from. Requirements and deadlines do change, so always confirm them on the college's own website before you rely on them.

Grades 9–12. Earlier is better for planning (course selection, activities, testing timelines), but even seniors in the thick of applications get immediate value from essay feedback and deadline management.
