Tools · 13

appealDraft 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 letter, not advice on whether to appeal. Run
recDraft 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 (~$0.369) per call.
letterlensAnalyze 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 revision to apply the fixes. Cost: about
awardlensBreak 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 and questions for the aid office. With mor
fafsaProduce 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 credits (~$0.087) per call.
aidExplain 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) per call.
scholarshipSurface 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 scholarship programs change year to yea
profileTurn 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 appeal. Cost: about 87 credits (~$0.087) per
revisionApply 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.
translateTranslate 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 what they were told. Read-only. Cost: ab
humanizeRewrite 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 source. It does not evade or promise to
account_balanceFree. Returns the credits left on this API key. Call it before a long run of billed calls.
quote_callFree. 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.
