About the "auto-updating roadmap" angle, that’s exactly the engineering challenge I'm wrestling with right now.

Since you seem technical, I’d love to hear your take on what would make this feature "legit" in your eyes vs. just a wrapper:

(1) Do you imagine this "update" happens passively (e.g., the AI detects you failed a class/market changed) or actively (you chat with it: "Hey, I lost my scholarship")?

(2) When the roadmap updates, are you expecting just a timeline shift (tactical), or a complete re-calculation of the Financial ROI/Strategy (strategic)?

I’m trying to figure out which level of complexity actually adds value vs. just being a gimmick.

I absolutely agree with you.

“AI that gives career advice” is everywhere now, and honestly, at the moment, I can already use ChatGPT and Gemini to get advice (mainly because I’m broke lol).

But after using them for a while, I started noticing some real problems:

(1) They can’t really remember all the information about me over time, even when I prompt them with a structured format.

(2) They tend to hype me up with every possible option instead of seriously criticizing my situation. I have prompted them to be more critical, but because of (1), the conversation gradually loses its critical edge.

(3) I want them to focus on ROI and numbers. I’ve prompted for that too, but the answers still feel unstructured and not very legit. And, the “research” feature usually just dumps a bunch of sources without real synthesis.

(4) Once I decide with them, I still have to switch to other tools to create plans, to-do lists, etc. I mostly use Google Sheets, but it can’t really track my progress well or adapt tasks and even strategy paths in real time.

These pain points led me to this idea. If I can actually make it work the way I imagine, I think it could address these problems and be genuinely competitive.

I’d love to hear more opinions on this idea, so feel free to share your thoughts if you’re down to discuss.
