Athena AI is built specifically for college admissions—helping students and advisors brainstorm, refine, and get high-quality feedback on essays and application materials.
Now fully integrated with CollegePlannerPro, Athena AI fits seamlessly into your existing workflow. Developed by former NASA and Caltech engineers, it helps independent educational consultants cut essay review time by up to 50%—so you can support more students without adding to your workload.
Athena AI also integrates directly with Google Docs, making essay review even more efficient. You can review drafts, generate feedback, and export comments back into student documents without any manual copy-pasting—keeping everything organized and in one place while streamlining your entire review process.
