Real research. Real feedback. A real professor behind it.
ResForMe Research Platform is AI-assisted research coaching with professor oversight. Your student uploads research work to a private Google Drive folder. AI reviewers write clear feedback into their Google Doc. A professor oversees progress and personally approves every certificate and recommendation letter. $99 per month, cancel anytime.
Card required. First charge of $99 on day 8. Cancel anytime before then and pay nothing.
How it works
- 1
Connect your Google Drive.
We create one private research folder for you. We ask Google for the smallest access that works: that one folder, not your whole Drive. You can disconnect at any time.
- 2
Upload your work.
Code in R or Python, data files, screenshots, figures, and drafts. One small file is plenty to start. Screenshots are encouraged.
- 3
Read your feedback.
AI reviewers check eight things: code, methodology, statistics, figures, interpretation, writing, references, and progress. Then they write plain-language feedback into your Google Doc, with scores you can watch improve and your next tasks spelled out.
- 4
Earn real outcomes.
Every upload and every review lands in your evidence log. A professor reviews your progress, approves certificates as you earn them, and can write a recommendation letter backed by what you actually did.
The professor oversight promise
The AI does the reading and drafts the feedback. A real professor does the judging. Your professor receives short, regular briefings on your progress, adds notes where human judgment matters, and personally approves every certificate and every recommendation letter. The platform never sends a letter without professor approval. No exceptions.
What students produce
This is not a course with a certificate at the end. Students build a documented portfolio of research achievements, verified from their own uploaded work:
| Achievement | What it means |
|---|---|
| Research proposal | A written plan: question, data, methods |
| Cleaned dataset | Real data, documented and ready for analysis |
| Code portfolio | Working, commented R or Python analysis code |
| Completed literature review | What is already known, in the student's words |
| Scientific poster | A conference-style poster of their results |
| Conference abstract | A short summary written to submission standards |
| Competition submission | An entry to a science competition |
| Repository publication | Code and data published in a public repository |
| Paper draft | A full manuscript draft |
| Paper submission | A manuscript sent to a journal or venue |
| Presentation delivered | A talk or poster actually presented |
Achievements feed a four-level certification ladder, from Research Foundation (earliest at month 3) to Research Portfolio (earliest at month 12). Certificates recognize verified achievements, never subscription time.

Card required. First charge of $99 on day 8. Cancel anytime before then and pay nothing.
For parents
You stay in the loop from day one. A parent must consent for any student under 18 (for students under 13 this is required by law under COPPA). You get your own Parent Portal: see your student's progress, manage billing, and control consent.
Our privacy commitments, in plain words:
- Your child's work is never used to train AI models.
- We ask Google for the minimum access: one research folder, not the whole Drive.
- Records are handled with FERPA in mind, and every family has GDPR rights to export or delete their data.
- Any monthly charge is refundable in full if you ask within 7 days of billing.
The integrity promise
The AI never does the student's work. It reviews what the student uploads, states exactly what it reviewed and what it assumed, and never invents results, citations, or praise. Certificates are earned through verified achievements and signed by a professor. Recommendation letters are drafted only from the documented evidence log, and a professor edits, approves, and signs each one. This platform is a coach with a referee, not a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the AI do the research for my child?
- No. The AI reviews work the student uploads and explains what to improve and what to do next. It never writes the analysis, invents results, or fabricates citations. What it did review and what it assumed is stated in every feedback entry.
- Are there live meetings?
- No. All review on this plan is asynchronous: the student uploads, feedback appears in their Google Doc, and a professor reviews progress on a regular schedule. If you want weekly live meetings with a professor, that is ResForMe's live mentorship program (see resforme.com).
- Who is the professor?
- An experienced university professor oversees every student's progress, reviews briefings on their work, and personally approves every certificate and recommendation letter. Nothing official leaves the platform without a professor's signature.
- What ages is this for?
- Students roughly 13 to 18, plus undergraduates. A parent must consent for any student under 18; under 13 this consent is required by COPPA.
- What does my child need to start?
- A computer, a Google account, and curiosity. The analysis tools (R, Python) are free. No prior research experience is needed: the first tasks meet the student where they are.
- Is my child's work used to train AI?
- Never. Student work is read only to produce feedback for that student, and every access is written to an audit log.
- How do certificates work?
- Certificates recognize verified achievements, not time or payment. The earliest eligibility is month 3 (Research Foundation), and a professor signs off on every certificate. See the pricing page for the full ladder.
- Can we cancel?
- Yes, anytime. The plan is month-to-month. Cancel during the 7-day trial and pay nothing. Any monthly charge is refundable in full if requested within 7 days of billing.
