One AI counsellor that remembers your essays,
your list and your constraints.
How it works
Every constraint you mention becomes a fact you approved. Your aid needs, your flight radius, the subject you actually love — recalled without you repeating yourself.
Answers arrive as cards you can act on: add a school, accept an edit, save a scholarship. The conversation is the control panel.
Open the essay editor and the same agent is there, already holding your draft, your CV and the deadline you are up against.
What you actually get back
Everything below is the real component, running the real code. Add a school, accept an edit, save a scholarship — signed in, each of those writes to your account.
School list
Reach, target and safety — with a reason attached to each.
Rankings are the same for everyone, which makes them nearly useless. If you need full aid as an international student, that fact eliminates most of the US before selectivity is even a question. The agent starts from what actually binds you.
Weighted toward schools that are need-blind for internationals.
One of five US schools that is need-blind for internationals and meets full need.
Strong CS, but aid for internationals is thin — treat the cost as real.
Non-EU tuition still lands well under US sticker price.
Essay editor
A diff, not a rewrite. Your voice survives.
An AI that hands back a polished essay has taken the one thing admissions readers are actually looking for. So the agent proposes changes against your sentences, tells you why in under fifteen words, and you keep or skip each one. Accept an edit and it applies to your live draft.
The essay starts one paragraph later than you think it does.
Ever since I was a young child, I have always been fascinated by the way things work.
The dishwasher broke on a Tuesday, so I took it apart.
I learned a lot from this experience.
I put it back together wrong twice before the third attempt held.
Mock applications
Three readers who disagree, then a verdict you can act on.
One AI admissions officer produces bland consensus. Three — an advocate, a sceptic and a chair — produce an argument, and the argument is where the useful information is. You learn more from the sceptic's objection than from a score.
Opportunities
Scored against your profile, with the reasons shown.
Most opportunity lists are link dumps that waste your time on programmes you were never eligible for. Umbr scores each one against your year group, region, field and whether cost is a constraint — and shows the reasoning, so you can check it rather than trust it.
CV builder
Three angles on the same line. Pick one, it applies.
“Was a member of the robotics club” tells a reader nothing. The agent offers the same experience quantified, framed as leadership, or cut to the bone — and you choose which version your CV is making the argument with.
Was a member of the robotics club and helped with competitions.
Profile gaps
Ranked by what would move the needle, not by what is easy.
A good counsellor tells you the hard thing early, while there is still time to act on it. The radar scores five axes and names the single highest-leverage fix on each — usually one of them is the binding constraint, and the rest are distractions.
Nothing on your list explains why CS specifically. That gap shows in essays.
Six shallow activities read worse than two deep ones. Cut four.
One draft, no supplements started. This is the binding constraint.
Deadlines
Counted in days, because that is the number you need.
The agent knows today's date and the current admissions cycle, so it does the arithmetic instead of leaving it to you. “That closes in nine days” is a useful sentence. “The deadline is approaching” is not.
Scores land 20 Dec.
Live search
Deadlines and fees change. Recollection does not keep up.
Anything that shifts year to year gets looked up rather than recalled — deadlines, fees, acceptance rates, whether a scholarship is running this cycle. The answer sits in the reply where you are already reading; the card underneath is just the receipts.
5 January, 11:59pm in your local time. Early Decision already closed on 1 November, so Regular is the route now — and decisions land in late March.
Every card above is the real component. Click anything.
Get your ownMemory you can see
When Umbr learns something durable about you, it says so — and you keep it, edit it, or throw it away. Everything it holds is browsable, searchable and deletable in one page.
Nothing is inferred quietly and acted on for months. If a fact has gone out of date, change it in one place and every surface follows.

Surfaces
One agent that has read your drafts, knows your budget and remembers what you told it in March.
Line edits you accept or reject, and version history that never loses a draft.
A simulated committee of three reads your file, argues, and hands back a verdict with reasons.
One master CV, tailored forks per school, bullets rewritten to say what you actually did.
Scholarships and programmes filtered by what you are genuinely eligible for — not a link dump.
Tell it one thing about yourself. It will remember, and everything after that gets easier.
