Introduction
I wanted to write this to clearly articulate where I am taking Revise Wizard as it evolves with artificial intelligence.
This is not a sudden pivot. It is a correction.
When I first built Revise Wizard in 2023, my focus was on solving a problem I personally experienced. Finding high-quality revision resources and apprenticeship opportunities was fragmented, time-consuming, and inefficient. I built a solution around aggregation and accessibility.
However, looking back, the biggest gap was clear. I did not design the platform with AI at its core.
Learning from the First Iteration
The first version of Revise Wizard proved something important. The problem is real.
Students are overwhelmed. They are balancing A-levels, extracurriculars, applications, and often uncertainty about their future. The process of finding apprenticeships or internships is not only repetitive, but also mentally draining.
I experienced this first-hand. Constantly checking websites, tracking deadlines, and trying to stay organised alongside studies was not sustainable.
Revise Wizard addressed part of this problem, but it stopped short of true intelligence. It provided access, but not guidance.
That is the key shift now.
The Shift Towards AI
This time, I am intentionally moving towards an AI-led approach.
Not fully AI-first yet, but strategically heading there.
The immediate priority is still growth. More users, more opportunities, more engagement. On the surface, this might seem like a standard growth objective, but it serves a deeper purpose.
AI is only as good as the data it learns from.
Without a rich dataset of apprenticeships, internships, job roles, and user interactions, any AI layer becomes shallow. It might look impressive, but it will not deliver real value.
So the strategy is simple in principle
First, build depth in data
Then, layer intelligence on top
Why Data Comes First
To build genuinely useful AI, the system needs context.
For example, if I want to generate a high-quality CV tailored to a specific role, the system needs to understand
What that role typically requires
What skills are expected
How successful candidates present themselves
What patterns exist across similar applications
This is not something you can fake with generic prompts. It requires structured, relevant data.
That is why I am focusing heavily on expanding the opportunity database. This includes not only scraping or aggregating listings, but also manually curating high-quality roles that are often missed.
The AI CV Generator
One of the first major AI features I am building is a CV generator.
The vision is straightforward
A user selects a role
The system understands the requirements of that role
It generates a tailored CV using a proven template
This goes beyond simple text generation. It is about alignment.
Most students struggle not because they lack potential, but because they do not know how to present themselves effectively. A well-structured, role-specific CV can significantly improve outcomes.
My goal is to launch the first version of this within the next month.
It will start simple, but it will be iterated on aggressively.
Building an AI Suite
The CV generator is only the beginning.
Long term, I see Revise Wizard evolving into an AI-powered suite that supports students across the entire journey
Discovering opportunities
Understanding requirements
Preparing applications
Improving their profiles
Making better decisions
Each of these stages can be enhanced with AI, but only if it is built on the right foundations.
Monetisation and Sustainability
This AI functionality will not be free.
That decision is intentional.
AI infrastructure is expensive to run. Model usage, compute, and scaling all introduce real costs. If the platform is to be sustainable, it needs to at least cover these costs.
The aim is not to overcharge, but to keep pricing accessible while ensuring the system can operate reliably.
If the revenue covers the cost of running the AI, that is already a success at this stage.
This should be seen as an investment into better outcomes for users, rather than just a feature paywall.
Solving a Real Problem
At its core, nothing has changed about the mission.
I want to make the journey of finding and applying to apprenticeships significantly easier for students.
This is not theoretical. It is based on lived experience.
Balancing A-levels while trying to secure opportunities requires discipline, organisation, and persistence. Many students have the ability, but lack the structure or guidance to navigate the process effectively.
Revise Wizard exists to reduce that friction.
Going Beyond Aggregation
One area I am doubling down on is quality.
Most platforms rely purely on aggregation. They show what is easily available.
I want Revise Wizard to go further.
This means manually adding high-quality opportunities that are often overlooked. Roles from companies like Jaguar Land Rover are a good example. These opportunities are valuable, but not always surfaced effectively on centralised platforms.
By curating these manually, I can ensure users are seeing opportunities that genuinely matter.
Long Term Vision
The long-term vision is clear.
Revise Wizard becomes more than a resource hub. It becomes an intelligent system that understands students and supports them throughout their journey.
Not just a database
Not just a tool
But a system that actively helps users move forward
This includes personalised recommendations, smarter matching between students and opportunities, and eventually even peer or mentor connections powered by AI.
Final Thoughts
AI is not the goal. It is the tool.
The goal is to solve a real problem in a way that genuinely improves outcomes for students.
Revise Wizard’s approach to AI is grounded in data, shaped by experience, and driven by a clear mission.
Build the foundation properly
Then add intelligence
Then scale impact
That is how Revise Wizard fits with AI.
