Show HN: College application essay inspiration and brainstorm

https://essaycompass.net/
3•boveyking•1h ago
I collected thousands of outstanding college application essays to train a specialized AI model designed to inspire and coach students throughout the essay-writing process.

Unlike general-purpose AI, each essay is highly personalized based on the applicant's background, experiences, and personal story. The AI also adapts its writing to emphasize the qualities and values that different universities are looking for.

You can browse our essay library for free, explore each applicant's profile, and see exactly why the AI made specific writing choices. By opening the "black box," you'll learn not just what to write, but how and why an effective essay is structured.

Everyone can generate up to three application essays for free.

I wish I could offer unlimited generations at no cost. However, this project is fully bootstrapped, with no outside investment, and every AI-generated essay incurs computing costs. If you find the tool helpful, your support helps keep the service running and allows us to continue improving it.

Hope to release the pressure of application season.

Glad to hear you guys feedback.

thank you.
