Problem
Students spend significant time manually extracting deadlines, assignments, and exam dates from course syllabi and entering them into calendars, leading to missed deadlines and fragmented organization. Additionally, navigating college essay revisions and job application tracking often requires separate tools, creating inefficiency and stress.
Solution
SylCampus offers a unified platform that automates academic scheduling, provides expert essay review, and supports career application management. Users upload syllabus files in any common format, and a Gemini‑powered AI extracts every relevant date to populate a synchronized calendar and to‑do list. The same interface includes a confidential essay feedback service with a 2–3 day turnaround and a job tracker that consolidates applications, offering step‑by‑step guides for resumes, outreach, interviews, and offers. All data syncs via an iCal feed to Google or Apple Calendar, and built‑in note‑taking tools keep coursework, essays, and job research in one place.

Primary users are college students who need automated academic scheduling, essay assistance, and job‑search organization, as well as high‑school seniors preparing college applications and recent graduates entering the workforce.
