The inconvinience of applying to a University
The admissions process

The task of applying for College or University after high school is a stressful time for some, and for others, a very mundane and painstaking process. Not only do you have to keep track of school, but you are also responsible for exchanging information between yourself and the school you are applying to. You have to get letters of recommendations, pay fees, book interviews, keep track of deadlines, get transcripts, wait for replies, and other items of inconvenience depending on the complexity of the schools involved.

Do the difficult and mundane tasks for me
Leveraging A.i.

With MIT now transformed as a living entity through the use of My Accounts for entities, Google A.i., and Google Allo 2.0, it can now very easily communicate and do things with humans in an instant, without all the inconveniences. In fact, they can almost do everything through chat.

Studying the admissions process, and Google products
Product Synthesis

For this endeavour, I had to study MIT's admission process. Luckily, their website had sufficient information for a sufficient synthesis required for this project. In addition to gathering knowledge about MIT, I also had to gather information on Google's product suites

Do what you need to do through conversations
Conversational UX

One of a few examples in how entities could be a powerful tool for organizations is its ability to make every process in our day to day activities less of a nuissance. Here I have enabled a student to use Google Allo, to work with Mit Assistant in completing their admissions process. They can potentially complete the whole process just by simply chatting with MIT. Here, Anthony (Tony) Stark begins the admissions process using chat. He simply asks questions, initiates the application process, and books an interview for admissions.

Connecting Google services through chat
Synchronizing chat with apps

Shown below are steps needed for a freshman application process. You can potentially fullfill all of them within the app. Each process has a tool synchronization attached to it, especially if both parties, entities and humans alike have broad usage of google products. Identified here are potential products that can be involved for each step.
