With global ambitions, the startup aims to close the guidance gap for college applicants and create greater access to higher education worldwide through its AI mentor.
Boston, MA – iOffer.ai, a Boston-based education technology startup, announced today that it will launch the MVP of its platform this October. Designed to simplify and streamline the complex college application process, iOffer.ai is creating a more accessible pathway for students seeking higher education opportunities.

Founded by Lingfei (Lilly) Liu, a prior Harvard Researcher in AI and Human Interactions, iOffer.ai was inspired by the challenges many students face when navigating multiple applications, essays, and deadlines across different schools. The platform uses agentic AI to guide students step by step, reducing barriers and stress in what can be an overwhelming process.
“Applying to colleges should be about finding the right fit, not about battling endless forms and confusion,” said Lilly Liu, founder of iOffer.ai. “We want to build a platform to ensure every student, no matter where they come from, can access quality education opportunities without unnecessary obstacles.”
iOffer.ai is currently incubated by leading innovation hubs, including Harvard Innovation Labs and Beta University. With support from these programs, the startup is positioning itself as the solution to one of the most overlooked problems in the college application process: the lack of adequate guidance for students. In the U.S., the national average student-to-guidance counselor ratio reached 361:1 in 2023-2024, leaving many applicants without the personalized support they need to navigate this life-changing decision. This gap results in uncertainty, stress, and missed opportunities for students trying to access higher education, especially when applying to global institutions.
The MVP launch in October will introduce college applicants to two core features: a tailored school selection tool that matches students with the right institutions based on their background and aspirations, and an AI agent that is designed to learn each user’s profile, preferences, and goals to provide step-by-step guidance throughout the process. By combining personalization with intelligent support, iOffer.ai ensures students have a clear, simplified path to their best-fit universities. Future product expansions will bring in university partnerships, integrated essay coaching, and mentorship programs, further closing the guidance gap for applicants worldwide.
