What Illuma actually does.
Illuma tool
Supplement brainstorm
Directions from your activities, not generic prompts.
What it does
Supplement brainstorm
Paste the prompt and your background. The engine returns five distinct directions, each anchored to a real moment, ranked by distinctiveness, with crowded topics flagged.
Output includes
- Candidate directions, each with a specific anchor
- Ranked by surprise and distinctiveness
- Crowded-territory warning
- Common App and supplements both supported
Under the hood
ML models + calibration layers, not a ChatGPT wrapper.
Generic tools recycle the same three archetypes. This one anchors directions in your real material and uses retrieval over a large corpus to filter crowded territory.
1
Anchor retrieval from your real material
Directions must point to a specific moment, object, or scene from your profile.
2
Peer-essay quality gate across the decision corpus
Reference essays are filtered to strong or exceptional reviews only.
3
Structural-shape vocabulary (12 forms)
Outputs are diversified across structural types so you see variety, not five variants of the same shape.
4
Crowded-territory detection
Topics that recur frequently in the peer corpus are flagged so you can choose the risk consciously.
5
Supplement-aware shape
Different prompt types get different scaffolding so a why-school direction doesn't look like an identity direction.
