Using AI to write essays, letter of recommendations: right or wrong?

Our principle is simple: AI is a tool. It is meant to help humans, not replace us.

How is this reflected in GradGPT?

We always take your inputs to build the essays. Your past experience and opinions are part of every writing tool we publish. It is still your story, and we do the work of writing it.

This is a great example of using AI in healthy way. Students can save hours of effort and anxiety in their applications while keeping their voice and authenticity.

Does using GradGPT count as plagiarism?

No. AI doesn't have personal experiences or opinions. It is a statistical word predictor. GradGPT takes those inputs from you, making every essay unique. You can use any OpenAI's AI detector tool to check the essays written by GradGPT.

GradGPT vs ChatGPT?

"If I had a dollar every time someone asked me this question"🙄 Seriously though, there are 2 main differences:

  1. GradGPT is designed to use AI ethically. "Your voice, our words" is the guiding principle in every tool you see here. Also a reason why it doesn't get classified as plagiarism or AI generated text.
  2. We've used essays from students getting admits in Stanford, MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley to improve GradGPT's style of writing. This also helps students avoid common mistakes they make on these essays.
