OpenAI is adding a College Planner tool to ChatGPT for Teens that consolidates application requirements, deadlines, tasks, and financial-aid steps for multiple schools into one plan. The company is also introducing a continuous multi-photo capture on iOS that turns photos into a PDF, and the ability to generate flashcards from user notes. The College Planner will arrive soon, initially focusing on US students in grades 10–12 planning to attend a four-year college.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1005194/openai-chatgpt-teens-college-planner-notecards:

> “College Planner brings together application requirements, deadlines, tasks, and financial-aid steps for schools on a student’s list in one plan,” OpenAI says. “Students applying to several colleges can return to it to update their progress, use the timeline to plan ahead and see what’s left to do.”
