Good careers advice shouldn't be hoarded.

Most career regret doesn't come from a lack of ability. It comes from bad information between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two — from picking subjects without understanding what they lead to, choosing a degree because it sounded impressive, or drifting into a graduate scheme because it was the first that said yes.

The people who dodge that regret usually know someone — a parent's friend, a family connection, a well-networked school — who told them, straight, what a job is actually like and how to get it. Everyone else is left with careers websites, personality quizzes, and one twenty-minute meeting in Year 11.

Waypoint is that first kind of conversation, made available to anyone.

How it works, briefly: expert-written frameworks and job knowledge sit behind a conversational app. You ask it things. It answers, in plain English, with the specificity of someone who's done the work. It remembers what it learns about you so the advice compounds instead of resetting every time.

No ads. No selling data. No pretending to be a large team that's been around for decades — this is early, and we'd rather tell you that than fake polish.

If you're a student, start free. If you run careers at a school or university, we'd like to hear from you — schools or universities.
