Inspiration

I am an international student. I applied to schools by myself and got multiple offers. During this period, I gained a lot of experience and made many detours. I am very aware of the difficulties and pitfalls encountered in applying to study abroad. Many study abroad agencies today are very unprofessional and charge blindly. I want to use my experience and my skills in the computer field to create a product to eliminate the information gap about studying abroad and provide free study-abroad related services. Then I started a business with my former intern manager at Buysmart. During this period, I developed many core functions of Gen AI as a core engineer, and participated in the creation, financing and expansion of the company. I felt that I had the ability to start a company. , so I decided to start a business.

What it does

Market trends indicate that there are many issues in the field of overseas study applications, including high costs, uneven service quality, and insufficient consulting capabilities. The traditional model of overseas study agency services no longer meets the needs of users, while the development of artificial intelligence technology brings revolutionary reform opportunities to the field of overseas study applications. Now is a suitable time to develop intelligent study abroad services because:

  1. User demand: According to survey results, the majority of study abroad applicants choose to use study abroad agency services, but they are not satisfied with the quality of service. This indicates that there is a large number of study abroad applicants in the market who need better service experiences and more efficient solutions. Artificial intelligence technology can provide intelligent and personalized services to meet user needs.
  2. Technological progress: In recent years, large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have made tremendous progress, with excellent semantic understanding and expression capabilities. The advancement of these technologies provides a technical foundation for the realization of intelligent study abroad services, making personalized and intelligent study abroad application services possible.
  3. Price competitiveness: Traditional study abroad agency services are expensive, but intelligent study abroad services can achieve cost savings through technological means and provide more competitive prices. Such price advantages can attract more users to choose intelligent study abroad services.
  4. Market gap: Although there are some study abroad agencies, most of them still adhere to traditional models and have not fully utilized artificial intelligence technology to provide better services. Therefore, intelligent study abroad services can fill the market gap and meet the demand of users for better services.
