Hey guys, We use A.I. to better match people to education. Do you have any feedback?

    10-15 minutes is a long time to wait for results, especially when you're asking for feedback. The freeform text box isn't helpful because it lists a bunch of things I should tell it but not _how_ I should tell it.

    You can fix both by offering samples, better guidance and structured but unobtrusive input where it matters.

    edit... now that I think about the wait time, is there any AI behind it at all? I haven't seen an application of AI that takes this long ever, but have seen ones that push onto mechanical turk (or equivalent) and hope for the best.

    split up the plaintext box. change that to a number of questions. use these for your model. automate the entire thing. should get a response in less than a minute.
