AI college counselor that turns school emails into a four-year admission plan
Beginner
What is Solyo?
Solyo is an AP history grader tool. An AI college counselor for parents that syncs school grade emails through Gmail, keeps a live weighted and unweighted GPA, bands every college as safety, target, reach or unlikely, and builds a four-year deadline and financial aid plan.
Solyo is an AI college counselor built around a straightforward premise: parents of high school students do not need another dashboard to check, they need the school's own correspondence turned into a plan. It connects to a Gmail inbox with one click and reads the grade and assignment emails the school already sends. Those emails are sorted by class, grades are filed, and a weighted and unweighted GPA stays current without anyone logging into a school portal. A password is never stored, and the connection can be revoked at any time. The college list is the second pillar. Each school is placed into a band (safety, target, reach or unlikely) using the student's GPA, course rigor and the college's published admissions data, and Solyo shows the reasoning rather than a bare number. It then reviews the whole list the way a counselor would, flags gaps such as two safeties and no target, and proposes alternates within a chosen major, school type, state and budget. A separate planner lays out Early Decision and Early Action deadlines, essays and recommendation letters on one senior-year timeline, while the aid module covers need-based and merit aid, FAFSA and CSS Profile timing, and scholarships with rough odds of winning. This is aimed at parents, not students, and it is most useful for families starting in 9th or 10th grade, when a slipping grade can still be corrected. It supplements rather than replaces a private counselor: a human meets a few times a year, Solyo watches grades daily and answers questions at any hour. The free tools (GPA and AP calculators, college chances calculator, college search, scholarship directory, career explorer) need no account and serve as a low-commitment entry point. The paid dashboard sits behind a 7-day trial.

1Check chances before signing up
Run the free college chances calculator with no account. It takes about a minute and returns a first read on where the student stands before you commit to anything.2Start the trial and connect Gmail
Create the account and connect Gmail with one click. Solyo reads the school's existing grade and assignment emails; no school portal password is requested or stored.3Read the daily dashboard
The dashboard surfaces what changed, such as a grade dropping from A- to B, plus upcoming assignments and events. Calendar items can appear inside Solyo or in Google Calendar.4Build and review the college list
Add schools and see each banded as safety, target, reach or unlikely with the reasons shown. Ask Solyo to review balance and propose alternates by major, type, state and budget.5Lock the senior-year plan
Move deadlines for essays, recommendation letters, Early Decision and Early Action onto one timeline so nothing collides. Ask the counselor follow-up questions such as whether a school offers an early round.6Map aid and scholarships
Work through FAFSA and CSS Profile dates, merit aid likelihood at specific colleges, and scholarship matches. The directory lists vetted awards you can apply to.
