NEW YORK, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- College Essay Advisors (CEA), a leading college admissions essay consultancy, today announced the launch of College EssAI 2.0.

Stacey Brook, founder and chief advisor of CEA, developed College EssAI based on more than 20 years of coaching experience. The AI platform streamlines the essay-writing process with personalized prompts, expanded topic exploration, and coaching-style feedback.

"Students don't need AI to write for them. They need smart guidance that helps them share who they are in their genuine voice," said Brook. "College EssAI 2.0 combines our proven coaching strategies with ethical AI to help students create essays they feel proud of."

What's new in College EssAI 2.0

• Dynamic personalized prompts: Prompts adapt based on student responses to unlock stronger ideas faster.
• Expanded topic exploration: Students can explore multiple essay directions before choosing the right one.

• Coaching-style feedback: Students improve their writing while maintaining their authentic voice.

New dashboard for Independent Educational Consultants (IECs)

College EssAI 2.0 also introduces a new dashboard for IECs, helping consultants support more students efficiently. Features include:

• Built-in comments and feedback
• Streamlined multi-student management

Built for ethical use
Unlike generic AI tools, College EssAI is built specifically for the college essay process. It guides students through brainstorming, organization and revision rather than generating canned essays or replacing student effort.
