How AI is changing school selection (and how it shouldn't)
AI is great at structuring options, surfacing trade-offs, and explaining fit. It is not a substitute for advisors, families, or visits.
We built BestPeopleDo because the school selection process is full of friction. Most parents start with two or three names from friends, get overwhelmed by options, and end up choosing the school they happened to visit on the right day.
AI can fix the structural problem: turning a vague set of preferences into a calibrated, comparable shortlist with reasoning attached. But the final decision still belongs to the family.
Our model is simple. AI helps shortlist. Advisors help families decide.
