v0.1.86
June 13, 2026More accurate, up-to-date college admissions data, and a fixed "Find Colleges Near Me."
More accurate admissions data
- Top schools now show their latest Common Data Set. We refreshed the official admissions data — acceptance rate, test scores, GPA profile, and what each school values in an application — to the 2025–2026 cycle for many of the most-searched colleges, including Yale, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Emory, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, and Bowdoin.
- Schools that previously showed no admissions detail now do. Several well-known liberal arts colleges — Kenyon, Lafayette, Occidental, Sarah Lawrence, Bates, Smith, Harvey Mudd, and others — were missing their admissions profile entirely. They now display a full Common Data Set.
- Acceptance and yield rates display correctly everywhere. We fixed a data issue that could make some top schools’ acceptance rates and the selectivity meter read incorrectly. Every school now shows the right number.
- What each school values is shown for more colleges. The "What Matters in Admissions" breakdown — rigor of coursework, GPA, essays, test scores, and more — is now populated for the refreshed schools.
"Find Colleges Near Me" works again
- The Find Colleges Near Me button is fixed. It was returning almost no results and, on some browsers, was blocked entirely. Nearby search now reliably finds colleges around your location.
v0.1.85
June 12, 2026Solyo Chat experience layer, voice parity, chat history, smarter college search, and a redesigned calendar tile.
A smarter, more capable AI Counselor
- Solyo Chat now answers from your own data and acts on it. The assistant reasons across your calendar, emails, tasks, grades, school list, and college/career knowledge in one conversation — and can make changes for you (add or complete tasks, edit your profile, merge contacts) with a quick confirmation, plus an Undo for the last action.
- Rich answer cards. Where it used to reply in plain text, the chat now shows clean visual cards — your school list by tier, side-by-side college comparisons, calendar events, deadline checklists, admission-chance bars, and grade summaries.
- It speaks first when something matters. The welcome screen surfaces proactive suggestions (an upcoming deadline, a new grade, a task worth doing). Delivery stays in-product — a notification bell plus optional web push — never extra email.
- Long-term memory. The counselor remembers useful context about your family across sessions, and you can ask it to forget anything.
Voice that matches the chat
- Talking to Solyo now uses the same brain as typing: voice conversations are saved to your history, carry the same answer cards and follow-up suggestions, confirm low-risk actions out loud, and let you continue a voice conversation in chat without losing the thread.
Chat history
- A new history drawer (mobile-first, right side) lets you browse, search, rename, and delete past conversations. Each one gets an auto-generated title and preview.
Better college search by major
- Searching for a major now also surfaces schools that are strong in that field overall — not just ones with an exact program-code match — so strong fits (including majors offered only at the graduate level) stop falling through the cracks.
- The Programs tab now has degree-level filters (certificate, associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and more) that line up with your search, so you can focus on the credential you actually care about.
Calendar improvements
- Calendar event answers now show only the event you asked about. Ask "when is my flight to SFO?" and you get that one flight as a card — not a wall of unrelated events.
- Tap a calendar card to jump straight to it in your calendar, with that day selected and the event opened.
- The chat calendar card now matches the dashboard’s event styling (colored date pill, clean layout) for a consistent look.
- Fixes to Calendar and GPA / School Settings behavior.
More complete school data
- Expanded Common Data Set coverage: high-school unit requirements, transfer-admission details, and student-life sections now feed the counselor’s answers.
