Built for the whole cycle
Not just personal statements. Common App, UC PIQs, Oxbridge PS, supplements, recs, activity descriptions — every essay archetype is a bundled skill.
Nux is a desktop AI assistant for study-abroad consultancies and independent counselors. Manage every student, every essay, and every deadline in one workspace — with intelligent coaching that triples your throughput without losing the student's voice.
What is paragraph three actually about? The sentences are pretty, but if I had to summarize the paragraph in five words, I couldn't.
Good — write that sentence first, then build the paragraph back around it. Want me to draft a version?
Not just personal statements. Common App, UC PIQs, Oxbridge PS, supplements, recs, activity descriptions — every essay archetype is a bundled skill.
Each student is a separate folder with their own resume, schools, voice, and drafts. Switch context in one click. Nothing crosses between students.
Nux reads the full draft, the prompt, prior versions, and student profile every time. No more pasting snippets into a chat tab.
Edits arrive as targeted changes you accept or reject. The student's voice survives every coaching pass.
Student data stays on the consultancy's machine. The only network call is to your chosen LLM provider. No Nux server in the middle.
Every accepted edit becomes a new draft alongside the old one. Counselors and students can roll back, compare, audit.
Independent consultancies and college-access programs use Nux to run the entire application season from one window. Cohort intake, essay coaching, supplement drafting, deadline tracking, branded handoff — all without losing the individual voice of any student.
Bring an API key from any supported provider. Nux does the rest.
See all versions & historyNux holds the entire student profile in context: resume, target schools, prompt, every prior draft. ChatGPT-in-a-tab sees only the snippet you pasted. Nux also ships with essay-archetype skills (Common App, UC PIQs, Oxbridge PS, supplements) so it coaches like a counselor, not a generalist model.
One folder per student. Inside: their resume, brag sheet, target school list, prompts, every draft of every essay, and a thread per essay. Counselors see a cohort dashboard across all students with status, deadlines, and blockers. Nothing lives in a spreadsheet anymore.
Drafts and notes live on the consultancy's machine. The only network call Nux makes is to the LLM provider you chose (Anthropic, DeepSeek, etc.). There is no Nux server. Pair with your existing client agreements for full FERPA-friendly handling.
Anthropic Claude (recommended for essay work), DeepSeek, MiniMax, Z.AI, and OpenRouter. You can also point at a custom endpoint via Settings.
Most consultancies are running their first student in under 15 minutes. Importing a full cohort (resumes, target schools, prior drafts) typically takes one afternoon.
The app is free and open-source under MIT. You only pay for LLM tokens — typically a few dollars per student per season. Consultancy plans add shared cohorts, branded exports, SSO, and priority support; contact us for a quote.
No. Nux coaches, suggests targeted diffs, and asks the questions a good counselor would. The student's voice stays the student's voice — which is the entire point of admissions essays, and what every admissions officer is reading for.
