Talia

Schoolwork, finally makes sense.

Talia brings together what’s going on in a student’s life (classes, schedules, how they work, what the family hopes for) and brings up the right piece when it matters. Every student’s mix is different, so every Talia quickly becomes their own.

1 · Makes sense of schoolwork

Sorts what matters from what doesn’t, and checks the school app against what the teacher said.

2 · Knows your student

Adds how your student works and what you hope for them. Your hopes stay private.

3 · Sees what’s coming

Pulls in family calendars, practice schedules and the next few deadlines, so the week fits together.

One Talia for each stage

The questions change as a student grows.

Each version answers the questions of its stage, from whatever matters for that student. They all run on the same engine, on one record the student keeps.

TaliaHS · Parents · Parents of high schoolers

Parents know what matters this week, and when to bring it up.

Starts with the student and the family: how the student works, what’s on the calendar, what parents hope for them.

The questions

How’s my kid doing?
What do I need to know this week?
When’s a good time to bring it up?

When it shows up

When there’s a good time to talk, like Wednesday after practice. Not every night.

What it can draw on

The school app (read-only)
Family calendars
Parents’ hopes for their student (private to the parent)
What parents tell it about how their student works
A coach’s plan, if the family shares it

Whatever matters for this student. These are common ones.

Who decides

The parent. The student never sees “your parent says…”.

Why it’s different: In high school, parents carry a lot of the planning, and the student is a minor. So Talia starts with the parent.

TaliaHS · Students · High school students

Students know what to work on next.

Starts with how the student works and what their week looks like.

The questions

What should I work on now?
Which assignments count the most?
How do I break this into steps?

When it shows up

When there’s a free half hour, or a big assignment is a few days out.

What it can draw on

The school app (read-only)
The student’s schedule and the family calendar
What the student tells it
How the student uses Talia: what they start, put off and come back to

Whatever matters for this student. These are common ones.

Who decides

Under 18, parents decide what’s shared. At 18, the student does.

Why it’s different: Students need “what now?”, not a report card. It works from schoolwork, not a profile of the student.

Talia College · Community college students

School fits around the rest of life.

Starts with the student’s whole life: work shifts, family, money. Not just classes.

The questions

How does school fit around work and family?
What do I need to finish or transfer?
Who do I ask, and how?

When it shows up

Between shifts and classes, when there’s actually time to start.

What it can draw on

The school app (read-only)
The student’s work schedule and calendar
What the student tells it
How the student uses Talia
Assessments the student chooses to bring
An advisor’s or coach’s plan, if the student shares it

Whatever matters for this student. These are common ones.

Who decides

The student.

Why it’s different: Many students are finishing a credential or transferring while they work and look after family. School has to fit around the rest.

Talia University · University students

Students learn what each professor really wants, and how they work best.

Starts with how the student works and what they’re aiming for, in a school that expects them to manage themselves.

The questions

What does this professor actually want?
What should I work on right now?
Where do I get help before it becomes a grade?

When it shows up

Before office hours, and early enough to plan a big paper instead of cramming it.

What it can draw on

The school app (read-only)
Course materials the student uploads, like slides and old quizzes
What the student tells it, including about professors and classmates
How the student uses Talia
Assessments the student chooses to bring
A coach’s or advisor’s plan, if the student shares it

Whatever matters for this student. These are common ones.

Who decides

The student. Parents aren’t in the picture unless the student brings them in.

Why it’s different: The supports from high school are gone. Classes are bigger, stakes per assignment are higher, and getting help depends on asking for it. Over time it also shows students what they’re good at.

The same in every Talia

It keeps the context, and brings it back when it matters.

The school app is one source

It matters, but it’s not the whole picture. Talia adds what’s going on around it.

Right piece, right moment

It shows up when something applies, not on a schedule.

Reads, never changes

Talia reads the school app. It never changes a grade, a submission or anything else there.

Offers, not orders

Every suggestion is a question the person can say no to. It never does the work.

After school, the same engine runs Imprint at work. See Imprint → Working with a coach? Talia for Coaches →

Who it’s for

Built for the students who feel it most. Useful for everyone.

Planning, getting started, keeping track, knowing what matters. These are executive function skills, and school leans on them every day. Students with ADHD, autism or other differences in how they work often feel the gap first and hardest, so we design for them first. That makes Talia work better for everyone else, too.

DiagnosedStudents who already know how they’re wired, and families who know it too.
Not diagnosedNo label needed. If the school app is hard to keep up with, that’s enough.
Stretched thinStudents juggling a lot this term, whatever the reason.
Just looking for contextParents and students who want the school app to make sense.

The problem

The school app won’t tell you what matters, or what’s real.

It lists everything the same way. Some assignments count for a lot and some for almost nothing. Some of what it shows is wrong, or doesn’t match what the teacher said.

Talia adds context to the school app. It reads it and never changes it.

For parents

Parents know what to talk about, and when.

Fewer nightly check-ins and fewer arguments about school. Talia starts with the school app and adds what’s going on in your student’s life.

Setup starts by connecting the school app. Then Talia asks a few questions about your student and explains how each answer is used.

For students

Students know what to work on next.

Why it matters

When the help goes away, school gets harder.

The school app assumes those skills are already in place. Here’s what the research shows happens when the help around a student goes away, and what brings it back.

23% vs. 10%

Kids with ADHD are almost 3 times as likely to drop out of high school.

Barbaresi et al., J. Dev. Behav. Pediatr., 2007

49% vs. 59%

College students with ADHD who stayed four years, compared with their peers.

DuPaul et al., J. Clin. Child & Adolesc. Psychol., 2021

71%

Students who left college and never talked to anyone at school first.

What we’re hearing

Parents say: “Tell me what I need to know.”

Nearly every parent we’ve talked to wants this, even parents whose kids already graduated.

“I have to click into every single subject to see what happened. I can’t tell if something hasn’t been graded, or if it’s missing… It’s a source of contention. This could help me just know for sure.”

Parents of kids who work with a coach told us they’d use it tomorrow, and would give the coach a view.

Your data stays yours

Schools change. Students grow. Their data stays with them.

Talia runs on selfActual, a private vault the person owns. It goes with them from high school to college to work. How your data works →

Read-only

Talia reads the school app. It never changes a grade, a submission or anything else there.

Who decides

Under 18, parents decide what’s shared. At 18, the student decides.

Private by default

A parent’s hopes for their student stay private unless the parent chooses to share them.

Compliance in progress

We’re doing the student-privacy compliance work now, before launch. We don’t claim any certification yet.

Who’s building Talia

We’ve lived this.

Both founders are neurodivergent, and Talia started as the support one of them needed. We work with educators and advisors who know this problem from the classroom side. Meet the team and advisors →
