Frequently asked questions

What is Pathly?

Pathly is an AI-powered college and career readiness platform that helps students discover careers that fit, build personalized roadmaps, and take action toward their future. Students use Pathly free. School counselors, districts, and independent educational consultants use Pathly to guide larger caseloads with less admin and more insight.

Who is Pathly for?

Pathly serves four audiences. Students in middle school through college use Pathly free to explore careers, colleges, trades, scholarships, and build roadmaps. School counselors use Pathly to see every student’s progress and prepare for more meaningful conversations. Schools and districts partner with Pathly to support entire caseloads and simplify compliance reporting. Independent educational consultants use Pathly to manage their practice and deliver personalized guidance at scale.

Is Pathly only for students planning on going to college?

Not at all. Pathly supports every path forward. Students can explore careers in skilled trades, technology, healthcare, business, and more, with resources for apprenticeships, certifications, and real-world training programs. Our goal is to help you make confident choices based on who you are and what matters most to you.

Is Pathly free to use?

Pathly is always free for students. Schools and districts can start with a free pilot that includes the counselor dashboard and student progress tracking. Independent educational consultants can start a free 7-day trial with access to the full counselor platform. There are no per-student fees for students to use Pathly.

How does Pathly support school counselors and independent educational consultants?

Pathly is a force multiplier for the people guiding students. Counselors and consultants get real-time student progress signals, assessment results, AI-matched career recommendations, and conversation starters ready before every meeting. Pathly handles the between-session work so counselors can focus on the conversations that change students’ lives. Start a free trial or explore the counselor platform.

How does Pathly use AI safely and responsibly?

Pathly uses trusted AI models designed for education, with strict privacy and safety protections. We follow COPPA and FERPA compliance standards, never share personal data, and keep all conversations private. Our AI mentor runs on zero-retention models, meaning student conversations are never used to train outside systems. Students choose what to share with counselors and can review or remove access at any time.
