The free AI reviewer for your recommender brief.

Paste the email or notes you're sending your recommender, create a free Kolly account, and your first review runs against Kolly MAX, our top model, in about a minute. Kolly reads it the way a busy teacher would and tells you whether you've given them what they actually need to write a great letter. One real review on us, no credit card.

What you get on your first review.

A read on the brief from the recommender's perspective: is the angle clear, are there specific moments they can verify, does the brief agree with the rest of your application. The single most important fix, named, with a rewrite. Upgrade for unlimited re-reviews across multiple recommenders.

What a great recommender brief actually does.

• Hands them an angle. Teachers write 30+ letters a season. A clear "I'd love it if the letter centered on X" saves them an hour and produces a tighter letter.
• Supplies receipts. Two or three specific moments only this teacher witnessed. The class debate, the lab cleanup, the email at midnight. The stuff your transcript can't tell admissions.
• Aligns with your essays. If your personal statement says you're a builder and the letter says you're a careful researcher, admissions notices. The brief is your one shot to align the angles.
• Respects their time. Short. Bulleted. No "as you know" preamble. Get to the angle and the receipts in the first paragraph.

Why this matters more than people think.

Recommendation letters are one of the highest-leverage parts of your application and the one most students completely ignore. The default brief, a forwarded résumé and a "let me know if you need anything", produces a generic letter. A real brief produces a real letter. The difference is the angle, the receipts, and whether the recommender can write the letter quickly because you've made it easy.
