What makes Solyo.ai different from the school's parent portal?

School parent portals (like PowerSchool) only show data from a single school system. Solyo.ai aggregates data across multiple platforms, PowerSchool, Canvas, email, and more, and adds AI-powered features like automatic email processing, college matching, and an AI counselor. It's a comprehensive parent intelligence layer on top of existing school systems.

How does Solyo.ai's AI counselor work?

Solyo.ai's AI counselor uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to provide personalized college planning guidance. It draws on a knowledge base of college admissions data, school profiles, and best practices to answer parent and student questions, while also referencing the student's real academic data stored in the platform.

How is Solyo different from Naviance, CollegeVine, and other college planning tools?

Solyo is the only platform that combines real-time grade tracking, college matching, and AI counseling in one parent-focused dashboard. Unlike Naviance (sold to schools) or CollegeVine (built for students), Solyo works through a Gmail integration with the school emails you already get, so you never need school permission or a separate portal login to get started.

Why does Solyo use email instead of connecting to PowerSchool directly?

Solyo works through a Gmail integration because it means any parent can start in under two minutes, no matter what school system their child uses. PowerSchool, Canvas, Infinite Campus, and Schoology do not offer open APIs for parents. By working through email, Solyo skips the need for school district permission, IT approvals, or special portal logins entirely.

How much does a private college counselor cost compared to Solyo?

Private college counselors charge an average of $5,838 per student according to IECA's 2024 survey, with premium services reaching $10,000 to $100,000. Solyo costs $8.99 per month ($108 per year), providing AI-powered college counseling, grade tracking, GPA calculation, and college matching at roughly 2% of the cost of an average private counselor.
