AI College Major Advisor

A conversational AI agent that helps high school students choose college majors and career paths by asking probing questions, analyzing their interests and strengths, and providing honest personalized recommendations. Target users are students in China and globally facing the overwhelming college decision.

College application anxiety is peaking globally, and in China specifically, the gaokao-to-major pipeline creates a high-stakes, low-guidance moment that millions of families navigate annually with minimal personalized support — that structural gap is real and well-documented. The closest substitute is a human education consultant, which is expensive and unscalable, though platforms like Zinkerz and a handful of edtech players offer lighter-touch guidance. At $1k–5k/month, the math works only if you can charge per student or land school/agency B2B contracts, since consumer willingness-to-pay in this space is highly variable and Chinese parents especially tend to trust human authority over AI for high-stakes decisions. The biggest risk is exactly that trust problem: major selection feels consequential enough that users may engage with the tool but ultimately ignore its recommendations, making retention and word-of-mouth weak even if acquisition is easy.
