Audience
International students, universities, international offices, student support teams, and eventually employers who need cleaner student readiness workflows.
Wedge
Start with high-stakes moments international students already struggle with: CPT/OPT readiness, tax filing preparation, health insurance, lease review, scam detection, and advisor-ready summaries.
High-stakes workflow
The default story connects CPT, taxes, insurance, housing, scams, documents, and advisor prep in one semester.
Safety posture
Every high-risk category routes students toward official offices or qualified professionals.
Proof points
- Transforms one student profile into a semester command center.
- Connects documents to risks, tasks, deadlines, and advisor questions.
- Handles serious categories without pretending to replace official advisors or professionals.
- Provider-adapter architecture keeps AI and data layers swappable for production.
Responsible AI guardrails
- Never claims to provide final legal, immigration, tax, medical, insurance, or financial advice.
- Always routes high-risk immigration decisions to a DSO, international office, attorney, or official source.
- Always frames tax help as readiness and document organization, not filing or final residency determination.
- Always flags scams involving SSN, passport, bank accounts, gift cards, fake checks, rent deposits, and immigration threats.
Production path
- Expand the monitored LLM adapter and evaluation suite.
- Add authentication, encrypted document storage, and database-backed user profiles.
- Integrate university calendars, email/document ingestion, and official resource links.
- Build admin analytics for aggregate student risk trends without exposing sensitive personal content.
Product readiness
What the product does
AbroadOS is not a generic chatbot wrapper. The product shape is workflows: intake, risk classification, document extraction, deadlines, task planning, official-contact preparation, and safety-preserving summaries.
Documents become actions
Offer letters, leases, insurance cards, W-2s, and messages produce structured next steps.
Advisor-ready output
The report turns confusion into facts, documents, risks, questions, and next steps.
Trust by design
The app repeatedly clarifies it prepares students for official conversations.
