KageGuide: Your Personal Academic Shadow! With so many of our clients sharing stories of their kids (or themselves) today struggling with academic structure and focus, the team at the TSIC innovation lab had some fun creating this little project for the growing neurodiverse population. The app provides AI-driven guidance and coaching for tasks and motivation, helping you stay on track with assignments. It provides a comprehensive overview of your coursework, syllabi, assignments, instructor styles, and your unique learning style. While primarily geared toward college students, business professionals can adapt it by treating courses as projects. We've included guided meditations for those moments when you need a break to reset. In Japanese, "Kage" means shadow—KageGuide is like having a dedicated shadow to help you succeed!
