The AXS Companion is a free, open online resource designed by professional consultants to be used side-by-side with Common App as students work through their application. Each section includes explanatory videos, helpful tips, a glossary of application terms, and links to resources mentioned in the videos.

The AXS Companion is a collaborative effort of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and Oregon State University Ecampus, with the goal of helping students navigate and apply to a wider selection of colleges and universities.

The AXS Companion chatbot is based on the transcripts from the AXS Companion videos and the resources on the AXS Companion. The goal of this chatbot is to provide students with access to answers & tips in a chat context. The bot is based on an AI platform - the more often it is used, the better it can often get at answering questions. website
