Sadly, I think your sales pitch will fall flat. College and University admin aren't technology experts, but are VERY susceptible to flattery from tech sales people. They want to hear about the time and cost savings, regardless of reality.

Also, to be super presumptuous, if you need help with anything with your tool, hit me up. I love working with developers on building realistic use case and workflows.

I'm building tools for K-12 (I've been a teacher for 20+ years). There's solid uptake of GPT among teachers and individually they're pretty enthusiastic about anything that will reduce their workload, so I'm hoping it resonates.

Sure, my details are in my profile, happy to chat.
