Breaking Down Classroom Walls with Saturn’s Dylan Diamond

On today’s episode of For Your Innovation, hosts Andrew Kim and Nicholas Grous sit down with Dylan Diamond, the brain behind Saturn, a calendar app that’s taken over 17,000 U.S. public schools. Originating as a basic web tool and now an iPhone essential, Saturn goes beyond just planning your day—it’s a social network that informs you about your friends’ current and future locations. Join us as Dylan unpacks the journey of Saturn, detailing how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing time management and social planning. From custom features tailored to individual schools to the key alliances that have accelerated its expansion, we’ll uncover how Saturn isn’t just a utility—it’s a community.
