Introducing FTC Coach: Your AI Judging Assistant

Your portfolio is good. Make it perfect. How Vanta's AI tool analyzes your documentation for award-winning criteria.

Introducing FTC Coach

Judges spend 5 minutes reading your portfolio. 5 minutes to decide if you win the Inspire Award. Every sentence matters. Every image matters.

The Problem

You write your portfolio in a bubble. You think it’s great. But does it hit the specific keywords the judges employ?

The Solution: AI Analysis

FTC Coach uses a Large Language Model trained on manual part 1 & 2, plus 50+ winning portfolios from World Champion teams.

  1. Upload: Drag and drop your PDF.
  2. Analyze: The AI scans for “Missing Requirements” (e.g., “You didn’t mention math in your Think section”).
  3. Improve: It suggests rewrites to make your narrative punchier.

Features

  • Award Targeting: “Optimize for Connect Award”.
  • Aesthetic Audit: “Your font size is too small on page 4”.
  • Mock Judge: It pretends to be a judge and asks you hard questions based on your text.

Conclusion

Don’t guess what the judges want. Let the AI tell you.
