Ask Orblite anything…

4Three steps, then four years of knowing what to do.
- 01
Tell her where you stand
Your grade, your classes, and what you actually care about. Three minutes, and no wrong answers — freshman with no idea is a valid starting point.
- 02
She maps the sixteen quarters
Every deadline resolved against your own school calendar, every quarter given one job. You get the whole shape of it, not a to-do list.
- 03
Do the next thing
Open it and there is one action waiting, chosen across everything she knows about you. That is the entire daily experience.
And she is actually there
A counselor who remembers you.
Ask her anything, any time. She knows your plan, your grades and what you told her last month — so you never start the conversation over.

Sixteen quarters, each with one job. You only ever work the one you are in.

Senior · Q1
Write it down
The essay is easy when the four years were real.
The number
A score that actually moves.
One number for where your profile stands inside your own grade and track — recalculated every week, with the reason it changed written underneath. It is a measure of what you have built, never a prediction about where you will get in.
The tools
Answers, not seventeen tabs.
GPA, citations, flashcards, volunteer hours, a focus timer — the things a student actually reaches for, in the same place as the plan they belong to. Ask her about any of it and she already has the context.
The grown-ups
Parents in the loop, not in the way.
Guardians get their own sign-in and their own view — progress and billing, not the conversations. Nothing about a minor happens without consent on file, and the student always knows what is shared.
Built with students, not at them.
Built with students who are actually in it — and rewritten every time one of them tells us a quarter did not match their year.

Questions, answered plainly.
It still works — the roadmap just compresses. Orblite plans against the quarters you have left rather than the ones you don't, and it's honest about which gaps are no longer worth chasing.
No. Counselors handle transcripts, deadlines, and school-specific logistics. Orblite is the structure between those meetings — what to work on this quarter, and why it matters for your profile.
No, and she will tell you so if you ask her. Orblite is an AI. She has a name and a memory of your profile because that is what makes her useful, not because there is someone there — nobody reads your conversations as they happen. What she is, what she is not, and exactly what happens if a conversation turns serious is written out in full on our Safety page.
No. It makes sure you have something worth writing about, then helps you find the through-line across four years. The words stay yours — admissions readers can tell, and so can we.
That's expected. The roadmap itself is fixed — that's what makes it trustworthy — but where you're pointed inside it isn't. Log what actually happened at your check-in and the counselor consults you about it: which commitment to adjust, what's still worth chasing, what to focus on next quarter. It never quietly rewrites your plan or drops an activity for you.
All four years, on both plans. Every year's theme, every quarter and what it's for, and how many tasks each holds — that's the Roadmap tab and it is identical whether you pay or not. Task titles open for the quarter you're in and the one after it, on both plans, and paying does not open a quarter sooner. Premium buys the counselor's help on this quarter's harder tasks, not earlier access.
About ten minutes: your current courses, your activities, and roughly how many hours a week you spend on each. Orblite builds the first roadmap from that and sharpens it as you log results.
It's a single number from 40 to 100 describing how strong your profile is right now, relative to your grade and track — not a task-completion bar. It's recalculated once a week, and it only moves when something in your profile actually changes. Expectations rise with each grade, so scores are always compared within a grade level.
Yes — that's the normal case. When you create your account you enter a parent or guardian's name and email, and they confirm by email that they agree to the terms on your behalf. That happens before we ask you a single question about yourself, and it's required whether or not you ever pay for anything. If you're 18 or older there's a toggle to consent for yourself instead.
Access continues through the end of the period you've already paid for, then your account goes back to the free tier. Nothing is deleted and nothing is time-limited — your roadmap progress, score history and chat all stay exactly as they were, and resubscribing any time later picks up where you left off. If you'd rather erase everything, account deletion is a separate, immediate action in Settings.
