For every learner

How it works

  1. Talk it through

    Pick a lesson, or just ask.

  2. Watch it on the board

    Helio explains out loud and draws as it goes.

  3. Jump in any time

    Say wait, or write on the board.

Every step checked

Every math step is checked, Helio's and your child's.

When your child is stuck

The smallest hint first, then more only if needed.

What parents see

What your child understands, in plain words, and a daily limit you set.

More for parents

What teachers see

Assign a lesson, then see who is stuck, live.

Helio for schools

Built for kids

Safety and privacy
  • A parent says yes first

    Nothing is kept until a parent agrees. Children sign in with a code, not an email.

  • Voice becomes text

    Speech becomes text. The sound is not saved.

  • No ads, no streaks

    No points or leaderboards, and your child's data is not sold.

  • Safe content

    Both sides of every chat are checked for unsafe content.

  • Download or delete

    Get a copy of your child's data, or delete the account, any time.

Common questions

Who is Helio for?

Kids in school, college students, and adults too.

Does Helio just give the answer?

No. It teaches the steps, then hands your child the pen.

Is Helio always right?

Not always. Outside math it can be wrong, so ask why.

What does my child need?

A tablet or computer with a mic, and a quiet spot.

How long is a session?

Most lessons take 15 to 20 minutes.
