Alpha · Notes from the build
What we have shipped, how our rule engine and language model turn a student’s profile into a plan, and what the AI will do next inside Alpha.
The first module of Alpha is a rule engine, not a chatbot. What it checks for South Korea, Finland, Cyprus and Malta, and why rules run before any language model.
Read note →The language model never sees a student’s name or phone number, answers in a fixed JSON shape, and may only use facts we publish. The design, and why.
Read note →Paste a statement of purpose and get instant checks on length, structure, clichés and specifics. The AI review scores seven criteria and quotes the exact lines to fix.
Read note →Three modules are in beta and three are in the works. How each one writes into the software, not just a chat window.
Read note →Where the AI hands off to the application itself: an 8-stage tracker, a document vault outside the public web, and a timeline of every change.
Read note →Website, student portal, rule engine, SOP Coach and the LLM layer: built and tested by a small team working with Claude Code.
