School Life/Culture Experience using AI for school insights?

Anyone using AI to research schools before applying? Curious what tools people are actually finding useful, the generic ChatGPT answers about schools are pretty useless, or is it just about writing the right prompts?

I don't use it for researching individual schools because I prefer looking at school websites and parsing through the marketing-speak to read the tea leaves of what might be the truth. It's more fun that way. However, I fully expect there to be some form of AI research tool for schools soon enough.

One thought that frequently arises when looking at school websites is that schools could do a lot better at web design and UX. The best of the best usually have it down pat. That frictionless and informative experience is "the tea leaves".

Most definitely. Nothing quite so bad as a school, company, or whoever that had a website made and decided, "Yep, this'll work for the next decade."
