Adapt, a ML-powered study planning app for GCSE and A-Level students, launched in January 2020 to great acclaim in the UK Secondary School market. Upon launch, the company shot to Number 1 on the Education App Store, winning CVC's Young Innovator of the Year Award in 2019, being featured by Apple on the front page of the App Store in 2020 and winning London Tech Week's Elevating Founders Europe Competition in 2021\. To date, Adapt has acquired over 500,000 active users in over 3,000 schools, and continues to grow by 1000-2000 students per day.Adapt's EdTech product is a revision timetable app, driven by teacher expertise and built with students, which makes a perfect revision plan in under a minute and then continually adapts it to ensure it's always up to date. Adapt is now seeking to diversify its offering by "adapting" its tried and tested technology to non-mainstream SEND Alternative Qualifications; something which has never been done before. Rather than provide courses of study based on GCSE and A-Level exams, Adapt's SEND Alternative Qualifications app will provide courses of study on the Unit Award Scheme (UAS), ELCs and Developed Entry Levels. Each course will be bought by (and tailored to) special schools in the SEND system, alternative provision, and other non-mainstream settings which offer Alternative Qualifications. Those schools and settings will also have access to a matching dynamic data dashboard for their teachers and leaders, showing them in real time where their SEND students are confident and where they are struggling.This will allow teachers and schools to monitor much more successfully the progress of SEND students in non-mainstream education; particularly important for SEND students, who face additional barriers to independent learning (e.g., struggling to begin a task, losing interest in learning, and rarely finishing tasks, Tohara et al., 2021). This will reduce their failure rate and ensure more young people with SEND successfully graduate into the workplace, addressing the key challenge identified by the DfE in 2022 that "outcomes for children and young people with SEND or in alternative provision are consistently worse than their peers across every measure."

适应GCSE和A级学生的ML驱动的研究计划应用程序，于2020年1月推出，在英国中学市场上广受好评。推出后，该公司在教育App Store上击中了第一名，并在2019年赢得了CVC年度最佳创新者奖，Apple于2020年在App Store的首页上饰演，并在2021年赢得了伦敦Tech Teek Teek Teek Uping Finding Founders Europe竞赛。迄今为止，Adapt已在3,000多所学校中收购了500,000多名活跃用户，并每天继续增长1000-2000名学生。Adapt的Edtech产品是一个修订时间表应用程序，由教师专业知识驱动并与学生建立，这在一分钟内制定了完美的修订计划，然后在一分钟内不断地调整它，以确保其始终为最新的日期。 Audapt现在正在寻求通过“适应”其久经考验的技术来使其发行的产品多样化，以发送替代资格；从未做过的事情。 Adapt's发送替代资格应用程序将不提供基于GCSE和A级考试的研究课程，而是将提供有关单位奖励计划（UAS），ELC和开发的入门水平的研究课程。每门课程将由发送系统，替代条款和其他提供替代资格的非主流设置（并量身定制）的特殊学校（并量身定制）。这些学校和环境还将为其老师和领导者访问匹配的动态数据仪表板，并实时向他们展示他们的派生学生充满信心和挣扎的地方。这将使教师和学校能够更成功地监视学生在非主流教育中的学生进步；对于派遣面临独立学习障碍的学生（例如，努力开始任务，对学习失去兴趣以及很少完成任务的学生，尤其重要，Tohara等人，2021年）。这将降低他们的失败率，并确保有更多的年轻人成功地毕业于工作场所，以解决DFE在2022年确定的主要挑战，即“对于有发送或替代供应的儿童和年轻人的成果始终比各种措施的同龄人都差。”
