From finding your dream college to building valuable skills, KoalifyMe is here to help you maximize out your potential with AI-driven insights and customized roadmaps. Whether you're exploring new interests or taking the next big step, we’re here to help you climb toward your future. So, don’t stress—Koalify for success!

Our team is making a website integrated with artificial intelligence in order to help high school students in the Philadelphia area who want to get started in their path toward the tech industry. Users will take a short quiz that OpenAI will then analyze to match them with their most fitted career path, potential colleges, and extracurriculars to aid them in their future. The website includes detailed descriptions of universities in the area that fit their desired career, online courses or certificates for developing sought-out skills, and if they have one, resume feedback. We decided to make this while thinking about our past high school selves envious of the idea of "wishing we started earlier" regarding certain abilities and interests.
