What we're building, in the open
This is order of work, not a promise of dates. Early-access academies shape this list directly: what they ask for moves up.
Deepening the core
Work in progress on the workflows academies use every day.
Parent actions inside WhatsApp
Pay a fee, confirm attendance, or request a make-up directly from the message, no portal visit needed.
Zoom bring-your-own-account
Schedule classes on your existing Zoom account alongside LiveKit and Google Meet.
Richer attendance reporting
Streaks, low-attendance alerts, and per-batch trends for owners.
Onboarding importers
Smarter mapping for messy spreadsheets and WhatsApp group exports.
The competitive layer
The features that turn an academy's community into its retention engine.
Tournament management
Swiss and round-robin pairings, standings, tie-breaks, and a public results page per event.
Public API, webhooks & Zapier/n8n
Connect ChessCore to the rest of your stack on your own terms.
Class recording library
Record classes, make them searchable, and auto-share with absentees.
Clubs, ladders & internal arenas
Ongoing competition inside the academy between tournament weekends.
Enterprise & scale
For multi-branch operations, schools, and franchises.
SSO / SAML and SCIM
Identity managed by your organization, provisioning included.
Dedicated tenancy & data residency
Isolated infrastructure and regional data hosting options.
White-label branded apps
Your academy's own app, powered by ChessCore underneath.
Franchise analytics
Branch benchmarking and roll-up reporting across an academy network.
