Founder's Story

Nirmal Thacker

"When I started writing my college essays, I spent 4 months with mixed moments of writer's block and discovery of my own voice. No one teaches students how to write well. I was lucky to get into my dream college and spent the next many years helping my friends and juniors get into their dream schools. Moderating 10+ college admission communities on Reddit exposed me to a disturbing trend - brilliant students sabotaging their chances with AI-written essays. Meanwhile, I was also building AIs as my full time job and I found the perfect formula to help students put their own voice into their essays. This is how GradPilot was born. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed building it. You can always connect with me on Reddit, X or LinkedIn."
