At CapSource, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newest innovation: the AI-Powered Project Builder, a tool designed to make it dramatically easier for industry partners to generate high-quality experiential learning projects for students across academic programs.

Why does this matter? Because experiential learning isn’t just a trend — it’s the future of education. Students, families, and academic institutions are demanding stronger ROI from degree programs, and hands-on, real-world experience is now the gold standard. (Just look at Northeastern’s 100,000+ applications for 4,000 undergraduate seats, largely driven by the popularity of its co-op model — read more here.)

Now, with AI, the future just got even more accessible.

 

How the AI-Powered Project Builder Works

 

CapSource’s AI Project Builder integrates program-specific details like:

  • The academic timeline and engagement type (capstone, internship, co-op, etc.)
  • The student profiles and core skill sets
  • The program learning objectives and expectations

From there, the tool guides industry professionals through a short onboarding process that helps surface project ideas — even if the organization doesn’t have a fully-formed one when entering the funnel.

Behind the scenes, AI synthesizes this input into a detailed, consistent, and student-ready scope of work that includes action items, milestones, success metrics, and suggested resources.

Screenshots in this article show just how seamless this experience is — and how it delivers high-quality projects in seconds!

 


 

Why This Changes the Game (For Everyone)

 

For educators and program managers:

  • Ensure consistent quality and completeness across all project scopes
  • Save hours of time editing or reworking unclear project drafts
  • Reduce barriers to onboarding new industry partners at scale

For industry partners:

  • Jumpstart the scoping process without requiring a polished idea upfront
  • Clarify what’s expected throughout the engagement — reducing confusion later
  • Align more effectively with student timelines, deliverables, and capabilities

For students:

  • Receive structured, rich project scopes on Day 1
  • Dive into engagements with context, clarity, and confidence
  • Understand clearly the outcomes expected and skills you’ll gain by participating
