A tool that tells helps to find a professor for specific topic very quickly. The title and the description does explain that really well.

Not really, the website is structured quite well. However, the section kinda made me laugh; "Sound like yourself, not a chatbot - Our email checker scans your draft for generic phrasing, sycophantic tone, and AI-sounding language — the exact things professors told us make them hit delete. Fix the red flags before you hit send.". I mean, the paragraph your gave under that is just an AI talking, and it is quite obvious, so I am not really sure how much I'd trust your email checker scan tool. Maybe I am wrong, but the way this sounds, and the usage of the em-dash, kinda gives me chatbot vibes.

As mentioned above, it kinda looses credibility with the fact that a lot of descriptions are written with AI; "Professors can spot AI-written emails instantly — and delete them.", I aint a Professor, but that smells of AI. It is not everyone, but I loose trust in a platform when I see that their explanations are made with AI.

I really dont think its worth it. And it is kinda difficult to make it worth it. The thing is, your platform is something that is completely usable for free. Looking at your tiers I gain; "Email checker — catches generic & AI language", "Professor email finder", "Professor responsiveness indicator". As mentioned, the Email checker does not seem trustable in my eyes, the professor email finder and responsiveness indicator is also not too important, as my only goal as a student would be to research anyway. For people who want the professors email, I mean, they can just google the email, it is not something complex - I found Alexander Szameit email by googling this exact phrase, I dont think I'd pay $5 to you so you can search it for me. Furthermore, I mean, please. Your $50 option just repeats stuff; "Everything in Student, forever", "Unlimited searches" -> Already in free, "Unlimited research summaries" -> Already in student, "Email checker" -> Already in student, "Professor email finder" -> Already in students, "Nearby professor access" -> I didnt get that, "One payment, lifetime access" -> Not a perk. It just feels like you wanted to make another tier, without perks, at all.

I mean. Your summaries are done with AI right, and AI also did indexed over University stuff, so I am not that sure what makes your service unique. If I search on google "Quantum Physics Researchers", I get an AI summary of a few noble names and groups, with whom I can talk pretty quickly aswell. Its just, the idea seems more like an open-source or .org idea, instead of a profitable one unfortunately.
