The New Standard.
Replace the franken-stack with a unified OS.
Notion, Airtable, Zoom, Mailchimp, and Stripe all require manual copy/paste.
Studio + Classroom share one data model—edit a session once and Zoom links, reminders, and billing stay in sync.
Generic meeting UI, no context of syllabus or student progress.
Author in Studio, deliver in the cinematic Classroom with preloaded run-of-show, reactions, and companion panel.
Chats are detached from lessons and disappear after the live call.
Discussion, notes, and resources live beside every module so instructors can respond inline and keep records.
Attendance spreadsheets, survey links, and gut-checks—no proactive alerts.
Studio ingests attendance, assignments, and post-session feedback so you can intervene before scores dip.
Rescheduling means rewriting emails, updating calendars, and chasing links.
Drag a session and Ascend regenerates comms, magic links, and reminders automatically.
Built for modern educators who demand efficiency, insight, and impact.
Everything you need to run a world-class cohort.
Stop stitching together Zoom, Slack, and Teachable. Ascend gives you a complete operating system.
Unified Context
Video, chat, and syllabus in one seamless experience.
Real-time Sync
Instant updates across every learner dashboard.
Community
Contextual threads right where learning happens.
Deep Analytics
Track cohort analytics with precision.
Secure Access
Enterprise-grade security. SOC 2 Type II and GDPR ready.
