Where ClinBound uses AI

These features — and only these — send data to an AI provider (currently Anthropic) to generate a response. All of them are part of ClinBound Pro, and all requests go through our servers; the app never talks to the AI provider directly from your device:

• AI Advisor — your messages, plus a summary of the profile data you have chosen to share (you can exclude your GPA, science GPA, test score, or clinical hours per conversation) and cited data for schools you saved.
• Transcript import — the transcript PDF or pasted text you provide, sent for the sole purpose of reading courses out of it.
• Experience import — the resume, activity log, or pasted text you provide, for the sole purpose of drafting activity entries.
• Plan generation — a summary of your goals, readiness data, logged hours, coursework status, and saved schools, used to draft roadmap actions.
• Monthly targets — the same kind of summary, used to suggest month-sized targets.
• Interview answer feedback — the practice answer you ask to have graded (typed or transcribed), together with the question.

What is not our AI: interview recording and speech-to-text transcription. The audio recording stays on your device, is deleted when you move on, and is never sent to our servers or to any AI provider. The "From your file" interview questions, letter-writer suggestions, Today's Mix, and your readiness score are computed by fixed rules from your own data, with no AI involved.

Live transcription is done by your device, not by us — and not necessarily on your device. When you turn on live transcription in interview practice, the speech-to-text is performed by your browser's or your phone's own speech service. On most devices that service sends the audio to Apple or Google to convert it into text, under their privacy policies rather than this one. We say so plainly because an earlier version of this page described transcription as running entirely on your device, which was not accurate. ClinBound itself never receives your audio; the text you end up with is saved only if you save the answer. If you would rather no audio leave your device, type your answer instead — the feature is optional and everything else works without it.

Every piece of information is labeled

Information in ClinBound carries one of three labels, and the label tells you how much to trust it:

• Verified school data — checked against an official source, with the source and verification date recorded. Schools still change requirements without notice, so verify with the school before acting.
• Historical statistic — a published figure from a past admissions cycle. A median is the middle, not a cutoff, and past cycles do not predict future ones.
• Generated by AI — drafted by a model and not reviewed by a subject-matter expert. This label appears on advisor responses, imported drafts, generated plans, graded feedback, and the practice question banks.

AI content can be wrong

AI-generated content can be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or subtly misleading while sounding confident. A parsed transcript can misread a grade — which is why nothing imports until you review every row. A practice question's answer or explanation can be wrong. Advisor guidance can be generic or mistaken. Interview feedback is one model's reading of one answer, not a professional evaluation.

Treat AI output as a starting point that speeds up your own work — never as an authority, and never as a substitute for the school's published requirements, your prehealth advisor, or your own judgment.

Study materials are supplementary practice

The question banks, passage sets, and timed blocks are AI-drafted concept review in beta. They are not official DAT or MCAT preparation, are not affiliated with or endorsed by the ADA, AAMC, or any testing body, and have not been reviewed by subject-matter experts. The app says this where the questions live, and it is equally true here: use them alongside official materials, not instead of them.

Not admissions, academic, legal, or financial advice

ClinBound is an organizational and educational tool. Nothing in it — the readiness score, comparisons against school medians, generated plans, advisor responses, interview feedback, or anything else — is a prediction or guarantee of admission, a professional evaluation of your candidacy, or advice from an admissions professional. The readiness score measures preparation against benchmarks; it does not and cannot measure your odds.

Decisions about where to apply, what to write, what to spend, and how to prepare are yours, and the consequences of those decisions are yours. Confirm anything that matters with the school, the application service, or a qualified human before acting on it.
