Discover professors doing cutting-edge research in your field and send them a personalized outreach email, all in one place.

How it works

  1. 1You enter a research topic (e.g. "machine learning", "neuroscience", "climate policy") and an optional location or university preference.
  2. 2Our AI searches across hundreds of university department pages and faculty profiles to surface professors whose current work matches your interests.
  3. 3For each professor, it extracts their contact email, current research focus, and recent publications.
  4. 4Using your uploaded resume, it drafts a personalized outreach email that references the professor's specific work and ties it to your background, so it reads as genuine, not templated.
  5. 5You review, edit if needed, and send directly from the platform.

Getting started

  4. 4Review the AI-drafted email, make any tweaks, and send.

Why Research Matters

Meaningful research experience is one of the most powerful differentiators in a college application, especially for STEM fields.
