Gradly

Gradly is an AP history grader tool. Gradly combines university exploration, AI admissions essays, scholarship matching, resume building and mock interviews in one student-facing platform, with a free Applicant plan and a Pro subscription.

Gradly is an AI platform built around one of the most stressful stretches of a student's life: getting from a shortlist of universities to an acceptance letter. Rather than selling a single essay generator, it bundles admission counseling functions into one workspace. Students can research programs, draft admissions essays, hunt for scholarships and build a resume without stitching together four or five separate tools. The university exploration module collects application requirements and school recommendations keyed to a student's stated preferences, along with program insights that help frame a case for fit. The resume side is unusually hands-on for an admissions product: upload an existing resume and Gradly repairs formatting, spacing and fonts, then rewrites content for a specific job or application in roughly ten seconds. If a student has thin work history, the builder suggests example roles and surfaces experience they may not have thought to include. Scholarship search draws from university, government and private funding sources and filters them against profile and target school rather than returning stale lists. Practical use is mostly self-serve. A student signs up, works through school search and requirements, then moves into essays, resumes and mock interviews at their own pace. The free Applicant plan covers a resume builder, resume review, red flag checks, basic mock interviews, school search and basic document enhancement, which makes it a reasonable first stop before paying for anything. The Pro tier adds essay creation and enhancement, cover letters, realtime mock interviews and the scholarship engine. Gradly sits closest to guided admissions coaching, but its center of gravity is document production. Families weighing it against a human counselor should treat it as a drafting and research aid, not a replacement for judgment about where a student should apply. The Enterprise tier, with coach collaboration, student analytics and SSO, points to schools and counseling organizations as a second audience.
