Dakota won’t write your essays for you. It helps you find — and tell — the story only you can. Your ideas, your voice and your words stay yours.
Dakota is designed to help you use AI without crossing Common App rules: it asks questions and helps you improve your own work, but it doesn’t write the substantive content you submit.
Essay and Application Support
Think of Dakota as an experienced admissions coach sitting beside you. It asks better questions, helps you go deeper, spots repetition and helps you understand how an admissions reader may read what you’ve written.
Ask Dakota Anything:
- “What is this essay question really asking me?”
- “Am I repeating my activities list?”
- “What do you understand about me from this draft?”
- “Does this actually sound like me?”
Because Dakota remembers your Thrive Report and college research, it has a fuller picture of who you are, what matters to you and what you’re looking for in a college.
Stay On Track
Your deadlines, assignments, drafts and feedback live in one place. Dakota keeps your calendar and To-Do list up to date, sends reminders and shows you what comes next. Your counselor or tutor can connect and assign work, and parents can get updates without constantly asking you.
Your ideas. Your voice. Your words. Stronger applications — without losing what makes them yours.
