How It Works

Nine tools. One platform.

From grant writing to candidate selection — your entire academic workflow, powered by AI.

1

Set up your profile

Enter your name, institution, research areas, and role. ProfAgent uses this to personalize grant recommendations, review depth, and student supervision settings.

2

Review papers

Forward a review-invitation email and ProfAgent auto-extracts the title, authors, deadline & abstract — or upload a manuscript PDF/Word file for a structured peer review with section-by-section scores and an export-ready Word report.

3

Respond to reviewers

Upload reviewer comments and your manuscript. ProfAgent parses every comment by reviewer, generates AI responses, and exports a formatted Response to Reviewers Word letter — ready to resubmit.

4

Find the right journal

Paste your abstract into Journal Finder. ProfAgent matches it against thousands of journals and ranks the best fits by scope, quartile, and open-access status — in seconds.

5

Score, fix & submit grants

Upload your draft to the Grant Writing Studio. ProfAgent scores every section, simulates a reviewer panel with a funding decision, rewrites weak sections on demand, and exports the final Word doc.

6

Discover funding

Browse and search thousands of active grants filtered by your research area, discipline, and eligibility. ProfAgent surfaces deadlines and highlights the best matches for your lab profile.

7

Track students & deadlines

See all your students, thesis stages, and upcoming deadlines in one place. Record meetings, get AI transcripts and summaries, browse full meeting history, and chat with AI about any past meeting — so nothing slips through.

8

Select top candidates

Upload CVs and a job description. ProfAgent scores each candidate, ranks them by fit, and generates a shortlist report — saving hours of manual screening for every hiring round.

Why ProfAgent
