Stop managing tasks.Start managing priorities.
EduPilot applies Critical Path Method to your academic workload, automatically identifying which tasks are mission-critical, which can wait, and in what order you should work.

Stress index
Higher education has a scheduling problem. We just dress it up as an academic one.
Calendars and to-do lists are data entry tools. They record what exists but tell you nothing about what matters. Students need a system that thinks, not just one that remembers.
of students report significant deadline-related stress
miss at least one major submission per semester
productivity increase with structured CPM scheduling
Deadline blindness
Students rarely know how their tasks connect. One delayed submission quietly pushes everything else back and nobody notices until it is too late.
Cognitive overload
Trying to manage five assignments at once without any sense of priority wears you down fast. By week two, good students are already behind.
No float visibility
If you do not know which tasks can wait and by how long, every decision feels equally urgent. That pressure adds up quickly.
Mental health erosion
Bad scheduling does not just cost marks. Over time, it wears on your mental health in ways that are measurable and well-documented in the research.
Meet EduPilot.
The scheduling science that puts satellites in orbit and builds skyscrapers on time, applied to your degree.
EduPilot doesn't just remind you what to do. It tells you what matters, in what order, and flags exactly when your plan is in danger — before it's too late.
Critical Path Engine
CPM algorithms that know which tasks cannot slip without collapsing your entire schedule.
Wellness Monitoring
Real-time cognitive load tracking that surfaces burnout risk before it becomes a crisis.
Adaptive Intelligence
Every change you make recalculates the network instantly. Your schedule always reflects reality.
Not a calendar. An intelligence layer.
Each feature is engineered around the specific analytical shortcomings of conventional student productivity tools.
Critical Path Engine
Automatic forward and backward pass calculations identify the zero-float critical path across all your tasks. Know exactly which deliverables cannot slip without delaying your final outcome.
- ES/EF/LS/LF computation
- Float analysis per task
- Dependency graph rendering
- Path visualisation
Mental Health Monitor
Real-time stress index computed from workload density, deadline proximity, and schedule adherence. Proactive nudges when cognitive load crosses clinically relevant thresholds.
- Stress index scoring
- Workload density analysis
- Wellness check-ins
- Trend history
Adaptive Scheduling
Dynamic schedule recalculation when tasks shift. The system recomputes the entire network and surfaces the new critical path within seconds of any change.
- Live schedule recomputation
- Conflict detection
- Buffer management
- Deadline alerts
Float & Slack Analytics
Every non-critical task gets a float value. That gives you a rational basis for strategic delays, so you can invest your time where it actually counts.
- Free float per task
- Total float analysis
- Resource levelling
- Risk surface mapping
Group Project Coordination
Shared network graphs for group assignments with role-based task ownership. Every member sees where they sit on the critical path, so accountability is built in.
- Shared task graphs
- Role assignment
- Progress syncing
- Bottleneck alerts
Academic Integrity Layer
All data is stored securely against your authenticated profile. Deadline audit trails and schedule history are immutable, which makes them useful for appeals and supervisor review.
- JWT authentication
- Encrypted storage
- Audit trail logs
- Supervisor export
Three steps to academic clarity.
From raw task list to optimised schedule, in under two minutes.
Define your tasks and dependencies
Enter your academic obligations: assignments, exams, group projects, lab reports. Declare which tasks must come before others and EduPilot builds the dependency graph automatically.
Supports predecessor/successor relationships, estimated durations, and priority weighting.
The CPM engine computes your schedule
The system runs forward pass (ES/EF) and backward pass (LS/LF) algorithms across your entire task network. It identifies the critical path, which is the longest chain of interdependent tasks with zero scheduling float.
Sub-millisecond computation on networks up to 200 nodes.
Execute with full situational awareness
Your dashboard shows the critical path, float values per task, upcoming deadlines, and your real-time wellness index. You always know which task needs your attention right now and which ones can safely wait.
Schedule updates propagate automatically as you mark tasks complete.
What students are saying.
Feedback from FUTA students who tried EduPilot during early testing.
I used to think I was just bad at managing my time. Turns out I had no way of knowing which tasks were actually blocking everything else. EduPilot showed me that in seconds.

Group projects were always a mess because nobody knew who was holding up who. Once we could all see the critical path, things moved much faster.
Chinonso Eze
400L, Information Systems, FUTA
The wellness tracker caught me before I burnt out. It flagged that I had five critical tasks converging in one week. I rearranged things and actually hit all five deadlines.
Rukayat Bello
300L, Software Engineering, FUTA
I love that it tells me which tasks can wait. That was the thing I always got wrong. I would spend three hours on something that had a week of float while my critical tasks piled up.
Emeka Okafor
400L, Computer Engineering, FUTA
It took about ten minutes to add all my assignments and mark the dependencies. Then the CPM engine just ran and told me exactly where to start. I had never experienced that kind of clarity before.

The fact that it updates automatically when I mark something complete is huge. My schedule always reflects reality, not what I planned three weeks ago.

Built at FUTA. Grounded in real student experience.
EduPilot is the final year project of two Information Systems students at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. The idea came from watching peers struggle with scheduling, not because they lacked effort, but because their tools gave them no real guidance on what to do next.
We built in mental health monitoring deliberately. The research is clear that academic disorganisation and anxiety feed each other. A tool that only fixes the schedule without watching the person using it is only solving half the problem.
