A workspace where six specialist agents help you build a PhD advisor shortlist. You upload a résumé, they rank faculty, explain the match, help you draft outreach, and compile meeting prep. Everything you produce is yours to keep.
Best coverage today is in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, and quantitative social science. Coverage is growing; if your field is under-represented the match pool will be smaller and the agents will flag low-certainty matches.
No. The Candidate Analyst works with a rough résumé. You can refine it inside the workspace once you see how the signals land.
Public faculty pages, official department directories, and published papers. We do not scrape private pages or buy data.
Faculty signals are refreshed on a rolling 90-day window. Match cards show the last-updated date so you can sanity-check freshness before relying on an "accepting students" label.
Yes. The LLMs underneath can mis-read a paper or misjudge trajectory. Every match includes the reasoning chain and the source papers so you can push back in chat and re-rank.
No. The Outreach Writer drafts, you edit, you send from your own inbox. We deliberately keep the human in the loop — mass-sending generic outreach damages your reputation and the recipient's inbox.
Every draft is grounded in a specific recent paper from the target professor. The agent cites the paper by name in the draft and tells you which paragraph references it.
No. We do not use your content to train any LLM, ours or a third party's.
Yes, both are self-serve in settings. Deletion is immediate and includes derived artifacts — profile summaries, shortlists, drafts.
