Built from lived experience
Chris, our founder, is dyslexic. He knows what it’s like to open a journal article, read the same sentence five times, and still not know what it means. Having a million different tabs open. Being hit with expert-level language when you’re an undergrad.
Tailo exists because of that experience.
It’s built to break that loop: clear summaries so you know what you’re reading before you commit, instant explanations when something doesn’t click, all in a single, foucsed space.
Stop fighting the page. Work with your brain instead.
Switch between reading and listening. Adjust colours, fonts, and layout until it actually feels comfortable. Tailo bends to you – you shouldn’t have to bend to it.
Read it once. Actually get it.
Tailo gives you a plain-English summary before you dive in, and instant explanations when something doesn’t make sense – so you stop re-reading the same paragraph and start actually making progress.
Close 40 of those tabs. Keep the ones that matter.
Tailo helps you scan, summarise, and decide which papers are actually relevant — before you’ve spent an hour reading something you didn’t need.
Tailo helps you understand. It doesn’t do the work for you.
Tailo works with your actual reading list, not generic internet content. It helps you comprehend, not plagiarise. Your thinking stays yours.
Trusted by thousands of students who were exactly where you are now
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.
