️ ✏What does this tool offer?
ESAI is a platform for students and those seeking career opportunities that helps them discover what sets them apart by analyzing their patterns, values, experiences, and key moments in their lives, and then transforming this information into a personal and professional narrative that is clearer, more distinctive, and better aligned with the opportunities they are applying for. The platform focuses on guiding users from understanding their identity and story to applying to colleges, internships, jobs, and graduate programs. It offers two main tracks: College Track for college admissions, andCareer Track for career decisions and building a professional identity suited to internship and job opportunities.
ESAI offers a 24/7 voice assistant named Brandi,with whom users can speak instead of relying on text commands. These conversations are used to uncover interests, motivations, strengths, and past experiences, which are then transformed into insights and a narrative that can be used in college applications, interviews, and internship and job opportunities. ESAI explains that each conversation can build on previous ones, so that the user’s professional profile evolves over time through a BrandID tailored to each opportunity.
The platform is based on the Identity Intelligence™ framework, which includes Narrative Intelligence to uncover patterns, motivations, and strengths from past experiences,Contextual Intelligence to connect the user’s story to universities, employers, and roles that align with them, and then Identity Intelligence to transform this information into a narrative that helps present the user in a clearer and more distinctive way. It also provides tools for college essays, essay ideas and hooks, program discovery, major matching, scholarships, personal branding, resumes, internships, and graduate school applications.
ESAI also enables the creation of a BrandID,a dynamic profile built on conversations with Brandi, tailored to the university, internship, or job the user is applying for, highlighting the experiences and strengths that make them a good fit for the targeted opportunity.
⭐ What does it actually offer, based on user experience?
- ESAI displays testimonials on its website from students who report having benefited from the platform during their admissions or job search journeys, including Kage C., who mentioned being accepted into the Conservatory of Music program at the University of Cincinnati,and Liivy L., who mentioned her acceptance to Yale University and her use of ESAI specifically for writing her personal statement. These are testimonials published by the company and are not independent reviews.
- According to the testimonial published on the website, Ashley D.states that a single conversation with Brandi helped her find real job opportunities and that creating a BrandID made her experience more clear; the page also notes that she landed a job at Abbott.
- Brandi offers a voice-based conversation experience rather than relying entirely on written prompts, and uses the conversation to help users articulate their experiences and uncover stories they might not be able to identify on their own.
- ESAI currently cites figures released by the company showing that more than 750,000 students use the platform to discover their competitive edge,$220 million that it says it has helped families save compared to private counseling expenses, and657 universities that report having applicants who use ESAI.
- The company notes that the platform was designed by former college counselors and admissions officers, with a focus on helping students craft their own stories and maintain their personal voices.
🤖 Does it involve automation?
Yes, ESAI includes AI-powered features and continuous user interaction, but it focuses more on adaptive guidance and intelligent agents rather than the automation of traditional tasks. Brandi acts as a conversational agent that can gather information from previous conversations, identify patterns, build a BrandID, and then match that information to suitable colleges, training programs, and jobs. The platform also provides instant feedback and states that its system learns as the user grows to offer more relevant guidance and next steps.
