Building an AI college counselor for families who can't afford $200/hr consultants
Hey everyone — I'm Phillip, a full-time IT engineer and dad of two.
I built ScholarPath AI after watching how expensive and confusing
the college admissions process is for families without access to
a private counselor. Five specialized AI agents handle scholarship
matching, essay coaching, admissions strategy, financial aid
guidance, and deadline tracking — the same kind of support
wealthier families pay $150-300/hour for.
My oldest daughter is actually beta user #1, navigating her senior
year applications right now using the platform.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (Aug 1), and I'd genuinely
love feedback from this community beforehand — what would you want
to see in a tool like this? What's missing from existing college
prep tools that's frustrated you or your family?
Happy to answer any questions about the AI agents, the tech behind
it, or the mission.
