The big idea
College search has too many spreadsheets, deadlines, and essay prompts. An agent can keep them organized — but your essays must still come from your real voice.
Some examples
- Agent tracks every deadline in one calendar.
- Agent compares acceptance rates and majors across schools.
- Agent reminds you to ask teachers for recommendations early.
- Agent helps you outline an essay — but you write the actual draft.
Try it!
List five colleges you're curious about. Sketch what an agent could track for you and what you'd protect.
