What MedhaviAI says it does

  • Photo upload or pasted text
  • GS1 to GS4 and Essay; no optional papers listed
  • Keyword analysis and score history
  • Says it is “a practice accelerator - not a replacement for the examiner’s pen”

Its “benchmark comparison” compares your score with other aspirants, not with topper answers.

  • The feedback is a change, not a rewrite. Where to write it, what to write, and how many toppers did it.
  • Seven criteria, each placed against what the toppers did.
  • No score without evidence. If no close topper answer exists, it says so.
