College Application Goal Advisor

High school students in China face overwhelming college entrance exam choices and need personalized guidance. An AI agent asks probing questions, analyzes strengths/weaknesses, and gives honest recommendations on which universities and majors fit best.

China's gaokao reform cycles — including the "3+1+2" subject selection model now adopted across most provinces — have created genuine confusion for students who must lock in subject combinations years before exams, making timely, personalized guidance more valuable than it was a decade ago. Domestic incumbents like Zhiyuantong and Gaokao Zhiyuan operate in this space but are largely data-lookup tools rather than conversational advisors, leaving room for something that reasons about fit rather than just ranking proximity. The $2k–$10k monthly revenue band is plausible at low scale — Chinese families demonstrably pay for education services — but the ceiling is low unless the product moves toward school or tutor partnerships rather than direct-to-student subscriptions. The biggest risk is regulatory: China's private tutoring crackdown (the "double reduction" policy) specifically targeted K-12 academic guidance services, and an AI advisor that touches gaokao strategy could be classified the same way, making distribution and monetization legally precarious.
