Comprehensive Selection AI 'Aomaru' Offers End-to-End Support for Entrance Exam Essays, Drastically Reducing Teacher Workload

mugendAI Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroki Nishie) has announced that its AI tool for comprehensive selection exam preparation, 'Aomaru,' now offers end-to-end support for creating statements of purpose for high schools and cram schools. By linking three key functions—self-analysis, social issue brainstorming ('wall-hitting'), and AI correction—the system creates an environment where students can complete high-quality essays that meet evaluation standards without relying excessively on teachers and instructors for time-consuming grading.

### The Critical Season for Application Essays Begins With the expansion of comprehensive and school-recommendation selection exams, the importance of preparing for these early entrance exams is growing annually. As the 2027 application season starts with many universities releasing their guidelines, Aomaru supports students through every step, from initial ideation to the final draft, achieving both student self-growth and instructional efficiency.

### Three Integrated Functions for Superior Results The strength of Aomaru lies in the seamless workflow where individual functions are connected as a single flow. Content generated in previous steps is automatically carried over to the next, ensuring consistency in the statement of purpose.

- **Step 1: Self-Analysis — Finding One's Core through AI Dialogue:** Students answer AI questions in a chat format to organize their experiences, values, and strengths. Deeper follow-up questions from the AI reveal hidden strengths that students may not have noticed, forming the foundation of the essay. - **Step 2: Social Issue Exploration — Putting Problem Consciousness into One's Own Words:** Using the latest news, students engage in 'wall-hitting' with the AI. By answering AI questions like 'What do you think?', students verbalize their perspectives on social issues, fostering the investigative viewpoint essential for modern entrance exams. - **Step 3: Statement of Purpose Correction — Refining with University DB and Student Thoughts:** Based on the results from Steps 1 and 2, students create their essays on the platform. The AI provides multi-faceted feedback by combining a proprietary university database (containing admission policies and data from successful applicants) with the student's personal thoughts. It evaluates aspiration strength, suitability, and clarity, offering 'suggestions for improvement' rather than ghostwriting, encouraging students to refine their own work. The system also supports OCR, allowing students to upload handwritten drafts easily for AI analysis.

### Enabling Teachers to Focus on Essential Guidance By taking over the heavy initial correction burden, Aomaru transforms the nature of instruction at educational institutions. Teachers can now focus their limited time on higher-value activities such as career counseling, personalized advice for specific universities, final polishing, and emotional support—tasks that only humans can perform.
