The premise
AI can take a mentor's notes about a trainee and produce a working draft the mentor refines, keeping the mentor's voice and observations central.
What AI does well here
- Organize observations into intellectual ability, productivity, and collaboration sections
- Pull specific examples from the mentor's notes rather than inventing them
- Match the target program's letter expectations
What AI cannot do
- Invent achievements or experiences not in the notes
- Rate the trainee against unnamed peers
- Replace the mentor's first-person endorsement
