I made a post in here a couple months ago when I was first notified of a disciplinary hearing with Columbia University. It was stated that my website broke school policy because it allegedly promoted cheating.

After a couple weeks of hearings, we beat the case :)

Columbia understood the website was made in an effort to help students who struggle, while I understood it would be best to no longer use the schools resources to promote my startup.

they have me as breaking their academic dishonesty and facilitating academic dishonesty policies. My website is nothing more than a reading assistant. It can't be used to help students cheat, which is why it shouldn't breach these rules

If any mods need to reach out for proof, I would be happy to share the letter and further personal details.

On Friday I received the letter stating I will face a disciplinary hearing for quote, "Specifically, it is alleged that you created an Artificial Intelligence tool and distributed it to students attending the School of ..." (A specific school within my university).

On April 17th, I launched my startup, an AI powered PDF Document and URL Link reader website to help students in this generation and the next who face an increasing cognitive challenge in the classroom. I'm so passionate about this issue that I don't even charge anything, completely free to use. Since launching a little over a month ago I've amassed over 1,200 users. My website is not an essay writer, can't complete exams or homework assignments for students. In simple terms, it is nothing more than a reading assistant there to help students with dense documents/articles/videos.

I'm now left with uncertainty. This is a top university and I fear they will demand I shut down the website if I want to stay enrolled. I have some defense arguments planned that I believe should help, but man I'm scared.

My warning to other high school/ college students creating similar AI projects, keep it away from your specific institution. There's thousands of schools out there to market to, don't risk your entire education like I just did.

Best of luck, and cheers to the future.

As a college student who suffers from crippling ADHD I needed something that helped level the playing field. Not only for myself but a staggering 30% of students consider themselves neurodivergent and I believe the spike in anxiety and depression amongst gen z is an indicator that our generation needs help with their school work.

This is why I created a free to use AI tool (not profiting at all) to help our generation with their work.

The website can scan and analyze any size reading document, any article link, and any YouTube video. The tool can then respond to any prompt asked by the student.

I hope this free tool can make a difference for a struggling generation
