Simplifying
mental health support for K-12 schools

Phone with Wiillow Panda character on the splashscreen

Wiillow's school-first AI platform connects the entire school community. It gives counselors and teachers AI-powered support plans to save prep time, helps students build resilience through daily check-ins and guided activities, and provides administrators with clear, actionable insights.

Every morning, students open the Wiillow tablet app and are greeted by a friendly AI character asking how they feel. Using the research-backed Yale RULER "Emoji Feeling Check-In" methodology, students log their mood and share the "why" behind it through safe, conversational voice-to-voice or typed input.

This data flows directly to counselor, teacher, and admin dashboards, automatically generating evidence-based AI Support Plans and real-time alerts. Co-designed with child development experts, Wiillow provides schools with the copilot to build proactive, daily mental health habits.

Turning daily student check-ins into meaningful support at school

Playful app for student daily check-ins

Students start their day on school tablets, chatting with friendly AI characters. They log their emotions and share the "why" behind their feelings via voice or text.

AI Session Planner for counselors

Turns daily student check-ins and counselor notes into personalized, evidence-based counseling plans. It reduces prep time while tracking emotional trends and identifying students who need immediate support.

AI Support Plans for teachers

Supporting school counselors & educators

Student well-being matters, but making support consistent across an entire district is hard. Counselors face growing caseloads, teachers juggle full classrooms, and families want to help but aren't always sure how.

Wiillow gives schools a frictionless, scalable way to capture student voices and turn them into daily, research-backed support. Short guided check-ins flow into AI-generated plans that help educators instantly see who needs help, what to do next, and how students are progressing over time.
