This is the agreement you accept before using the writing tools. It is short on purpose. The short version: the words in your application have to be yours, and we have built the tool so that ours never become yours by accident.
Two layers, and the second is the one that matters. First, the model is instructed in absolute terms never to produce prose in your voice. Second — because an instruction is not a guarantee — every response is inspected before it reaches you. If it contains drafted first-person prose, it is discarded and regenerated. If it fails twice, you get an explanation instead of an essay.
The writing analysis that flags clichés and vague language is not AI at all. It is fixed, deterministic logic, which is why the same draft always gets the same read.
We do not use your work to train or fine-tune AI models. Before your text reaches the model, identifying details are stripped and the passage is length-capped. Full detail is on the Security page, and the wider commitments are set out in The Integrity Guarantee.
The output check described above looks for prose in your voice. It is deliberately tuned to avoid blocking legitimate coaching, which means it is possible for a borderline sentence to get through. If you ever receive something that reads like a draft of your statement rather than advice about it, tell us — that is a defect, not a feature.
We are not an admissions committee and we do not guarantee any admissions outcome.
