College-access writing and financial-aid analysis tools for counselors, students, and families.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
account_balance | Free. Returns the credits left on this API key. Call it before a long run of billed calls. |
aid | Explain what a family is likely to see across a list of schools and why, in plain language. An explanation for a counselor to walk a family through, never an official determination, and the output says so. Cost: about 73 credits (~$0.073) p Inputs: studentName, income, schoolCount, schoolSummaries, context, fafsaContext |
appeal | Draft a financial aid appeal letter to a college financial aid office. Call this when a family needs to ask for a review of an award: income dropped, an expense appeared, another school offered more, or the FAFSA was wrong. Returns the lett Inputs: studentName, counselorName, schoolName, appealType, currentAward, amountNeeded |
awardlens | Break down one to three financial aid award letters: what is grant, what is loan, what is work-study that has to be earned, what the supported net price is, and what renewal conditions are buried in the language. Identifies missing facts an Inputs: studentName, letter1, letter2, letter3, scorecardData |
fafsa | Produce a FAFSA action checklist for one student, keyed to their grade, dependency status and income band. Answers the process question a family actually has: what do we do, in what order, by when. Does not compute an award. Cost: about 87 Inputs: studentName, grade, dependency, income, specials, schools |
humanize | Rewrite reader-facing prose so it sounds direct, specific, and personal without changing facts or inventing a voice. Use it for outreach, emails, letters, posts, and narrative copy. It preserves quoted text and checks the result against the Inputs: text, audience, strength, preserveFormatting |
letterlens | Analyze a finished recommendation letter and return specific fixes: what is vague, what is asserted without evidence, what reads as generated. Read-only and far cheaper than drafting. Use it to critique a draft, not to rewrite one, and use Inputs: letterText, purpose, focus |
profile | Turn raw counselor notes into a structured student profile. Run this first when working one student across several tools: it is cheap, and its output is good input for the relationship, traits and story fields on rec, or keyDetails on appea Inputs: studentName, grade, school, major, academics, activities |
quote_call | Free. Validates the input for a tool and returns the exact credit hold a real call would take at your price, plus whether your balance covers it. Use it to budget before a billed call or to lint an input for free. Inputs: tool, input |
rec | Draft a letter of recommendation from counselor notes. Call this to WRITE a letter. To critique one that already exists, call letterlens instead, which is much cheaper. Runs the same 5-step pipeline as appeal. Cost: about 369 credits (~$0.3 Inputs: studentName, counselorName, purpose, profType, recipient, schools |
revision | Apply one instruction to an existing letter and return the revised text. Pair it with letterlens: review to find the problems, revise to fix them. Changes only what the instruction asks for. Cost: about 97 credits (~$0.097) per call. Inputs: currentText, instruction |
scholarship | Surface scholarships worth this student's time and the angle their application should take for each. Runs a live web search, so it is slower and costs more than the other analysis tools, and the output carries a verification warning because Inputs: studentName, grade, gpa, major, state, backgrounds |
translate | Translate counselor-facing output into a family's language, holding the financial aid terms in English on purpose. FAFSA, Pell, SAI, COA and the loan names stay untranslated so a family can match what the school actually sends them against Inputs: sourceText, targetLang |
