Built from lived experience
Chris, our founder, is dyslexic – so he knows first-hand how difficult academic reading can be when content isn’t designed for how your brain works.
Tailo exists because of that experience.
It’s built to break down complex text, reduce overwhelm, and help neurodivergent students understand information in a way that works for them, not the other way around.

Francesca
I’ve been doing really well at uni – Tailo helps me focus on what matters.
Chase
I use Talio all the time now for all of my reading, I'm no longer skimming the reading lists in a panic before classes to get a vague idea of what's going on.
Ellena
I like being able to search for key words so I can find what I need quickly. I also like that I can highlight bits of information and get an explanation if I don’t understand it. This keeps my state of concentration and helps me stay focused.
Jesse
I was sceptical because I didn’t think Tailo would change the way that I engaged with information as much as it did. Just try it, you won’t uninstall it.
Megan
I have used ChatGPT to summarise a piece of text before, however Tailo is much better. I prefer how Tailo works and I feel it is more reliable.
Herta
I use Tailo whenever I need to do some research and condense the information into more digestible pieces. It has helped me actually enjoy research a tad more.
Lucy
Before I had access to Tailo, I was going to drop out, now I’m getting my highest grades yet!
Charlie
The ability to summarise information has been a game changer. Since using Tailo, my efficiency and academic performance have improved significantly. Reading used to be the part that slowed me down, often leading to extension requests. However, I haven’t needed an extension since I started using Tailo.
Jamie
As a part-time student, I feel like I can confidently manage my studies with tools like Tailo.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tailo?
Tailo is an AI-powered reading and research tool designed to help students understand academic content in a way that works for them.
You can upload your university readings (PDFs and Word Documents) and academic articles, then use Tailo to summarise, explain, and navigate complex text more easily. Tailo is built to support different reading styles and cognitive needs, including neurodivergent learners and disabled students.
Is Tailo designed for neurodivergent students?
Yes. Tailo is built specifically for neurodivergent and disabled students, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, visual stress, processing differences, or fluctuating focus.
It adapts academic reading to your brain – not the other way around – with summaries, explanations, read-aloud, and customisation tools that reduce overwhelm.
How does Tailo help with ADHD and focus?
Tailo supports students with ADHD by breaking long academic texts into manageable sections, helping you prioritise key information, and letting you switch between reading and listening.
This reduces distraction loops, cognitive overload, and the frustration of re-reading the same paragraph multiple times.
Can Tailo help if I have dyslexia?
Yes. Tailo makes academic texts easier to process with clear summaries, built-in explanations, read-aloud, and visual customisation settings.
You can adjust how content looks and sounds, helping reduce visual stress and improve comprehension — without changing the meaning of your academic material.
Is using Tailo considered cheating?
No. Tailo works with your own academic materials and is designed to help you understand them more deeply.
It doesn’t generate essays or replace your thinking — it supports comprehension, focus, and accessibility so you can engage with your reading independently and confidently.
Is Tailo an AI study tool?
Yes, but it’s built for academic integrity.
Tailo uses AI to summarise, explain, and support understanding of your reading. It’s designed to strengthen your comprehension skills, not replace them.
Tailo is already being used by thousands of disabled and neurodivergent students across the world, and is recommended by university disability staff.
