Contributors
Give a parent, mentor, teacher or older sibling access to your application without sharing your password.
Fledgy AI does not email the invite. The student copies the link and sends it however they like. Whoever opens it signs up as a normal account and is returned to the invite to accept, rather than being dropped into the student onboarding quiz: a parent following their child's applications has no application of their own to onboard.
Inviting
Enter their email, an optional label (“Mum”, “Coach”), and a role. Fledgy AI generates a single-use invite link containing a 24-byte random token. Send it however you like - Fledgy AI does not email it for you.
Re-inviting the same address refreshes the existing invite rather than creating a duplicate. An already-active contributor keeps their existing link.
Roles
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| View only | See your college list, activities, honors and essay drafts. |
| View & comment | All of the above, plus threaded feedback on essays. |
You can change a contributor's role or revoke them at any time; access ends immediately.
Accepting
The recipient opens the link, signs in or creates a free account, and accepts. The invite page shows whose application it is and exactly what the role grants before they commit. Students appear at /shared for them afterwards.
What contributors can never do
- Open your document vault: transcripts, ID and score reports stay yours alone.
- Edit anything you have written.
- See or spend your marketplace credits.
- Invite anyone else.
- Retain access after you revoke them.
Contributors do see essay drafts, unlike counselors. That is the point, they were invited to help with the writing. Counselors get prompts and status only.
Essay feedback
Comment-role contributors leave threaded feedback on any essay. Only you can mark a comment resolved, and resolved comments stay visible, struck through, rather than disappearing.
The comment box prompts for specificity: “the third paragraph is where it actually starts” helps more than “good job”.
Why this exists
Most students do this alone and shouldn't. One trusted adult reading your essays changes them more than any tool does.
