How Revise Wizard Started (And Why It's Changed)

Revise Wizard started in 2023, during my first year of A-levels.

I was looking for a tool that could pull together maths questions from different topics into one paper. That was the problem. So I built something to solve it.

I even pitched it to the CEO of IN4 Group. He liked it and gave me some useful feedback. But looking back, I made a fundamental mistake: I approached it with a traditional software development mindset. I wasn't thinking AI-first. If I had been, things might have looked very different, and maybe we'd have been competing with platforms like Uplearn.

But we weren't, and that's fine. That version of Revise Wizard taught me a lot.

So why the pivot?

The more I thought about it, the more I kept coming back to a different problem, one I'd lived myself.

Finding degree apprenticeships and internships as a student is genuinely chaotic. You're juggling exams, coursework, and personal statements, while simultaneously trying to keep track of deadlines scattered across ten different websites. At one point I had alerts set up on multiple job boards, a Discord bot scraping listings, and a spreadsheet trying to hold it all together. It was messy, unsustainable, and honestly pretty stressful.

There's no central place that brings all of this together. Students shouldn't have to build their own systems just to stay on top of opportunities.

What we built

Revise Wizard now aggregates over 575 opportunities across degree apprenticeships, apprenticeships, and internships, all in one place, updated every 30 minutes.

You can browse them in a standard list view, or switch to the map view to see all 468 locations plotted across the UK, colour coded by opportunity type. If you're trying to figure out where opportunities actually exist near you, or whether it's worth relocating, that view makes it immediately obvious in a way a list never could.

Once you find something worth pursuing, you can save it and track your progress through the application tracker. It's a Kanban board that moves with you from Saved, all the way through to Applied, Assessment, Interview, and Offer. No more losing track of where you're at with each application.

And that's not even the only problem we're solving. Getting a CV to actually pass the AI screening tools that most employers now use is its own challenge, one that most students don't even realise they're up against. That's why we're building an AI CV scanner, an interview coach, salary insights, and personalised auto-match recommendations, all coming soon.

The core platform is free. Always.
