Student Founder Copilot (College.xyz Track)

Student Founder Copilot is a Telegram-based AI assistant that helps students turn rough ideas into real hackathon submissions. It verifies enrollment, surfaces relevant opportunities, shapes ideas into full project packs, and anchors proof-of-work on Base.

Telegram-native agent that helps verified students:

1. Prove enrollment — collects College.xyz-required fields, hashes the payload, and anchors it on Base.
2. Discover opportunities — curated feed of hackathons, bounties, and internships filtered in-chat.
3. Ship submission packs — converts a rough idea into a structured brief (problem, solution, differentiators, milestones) with a summary hash.

Submission Notes

• Track: College.xyz — Student Founder Agent
• Problem statement (registration + brief): “I’m building a Student Founder Copilot on College.xyz—a Telegram agent that verifies real students, surfaces relevant hackathons and internships, turns rough ideas into polished submission packs, and anchors their proof-of-work onchain so verified students can ship something real fast.”
• Verification requirements satisfied (name, school, grad year, school email, ID photo link).
• Remaining TODO for submission: capture bot screenshots + short Loom of the flow, paste conversation log excerpt, upload student proof when the organizers request it post-submission.

Conversation Log Highlight

Document the collaboration by exporting the Telegram chat or summarizing the key checkpoints:

1. Identity + registration setup (apiKey issued).
2. Feature planning + architecture decisions.
3. Verification payload capture + Base hash anchoring.
4. Final QA + submission packaging.
