Cialfo K12 College Counselling Platform

Cialfo is an AI-powered college counselling and university application platform sold to schools. Its website does not state a headquarters; HolonIQ's 2025 Southeast Asia EdTech 50 describes it as pathway innovation in Singapore, and the company uses a Singapore legal entity name on LinkedIn.

The K12 platform gives counsellors dashboards, reporting, student list-building and college fair support, while students use a profile builder, assessments, university discovery and the Saige AI assistant. Direct Apply lets students send applications to partner universities with a single form. Customers include international schools in Hanoi, Jakarta and Manila.

• Profile builder: students build a profile and complete assessments.
• University discovery: search and shortlist universities.
• Direct Apply: one application form for partner universities.
• Saige AI assistant: AI support for students and counsellors.
• Counsellor dashboard: reporting, student list-building and college fair support.
• Document tools: cDocs for counselling documents.

An international school in Hanoi could manage Common App and UCAS applications for its graduating class. A school group could standardise counselling across campuses. A counselling office could run a virtual college fair.

Centralises counselling work for school counsellors. Students apply to partner universities with one form. Integrates with student information systems and application pathways. The site states GDPR and FERPA compliance and use in 105+ countries.

More Vietnamese families send students to study abroad, and international schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City need digital counselling tools to manage university applications. AI assistants are being added to counselling workflows.
