ChatGPT is getting college planning tools
OpenAI is introducing new college planning tools to its ChatGPT for Teens mode, designed to help students manage application deadlines and requirements. Additionally, the platform is adding features for iOS users to create PDFs from photos and generate flashcards from notes.
Why it matters
These features represent a shift toward integrating AI directly into educational workflows, despite ongoing debates regarding academic integrity and child safety.
OpenAI is bringing new tools to ChatGPT for Teens, a mode for teens introduced in August with safeguards and break reminders, to help users with the college application process.
“College Planner brings together application requirements, deadlines, tasks, and financial-aid steps for schools on a student’s list in one plan,” OpenAI says. “Students applying to several colleges can return to it to update their progress, use the timeline to plan ahead and see what’s left to do. They can also ask ChatGPT questions along the way, from what a requirement means to how to get started.”
