Brisk Teaching

Brisk Teaching: An AI Assistant That Works Inside the Tools Teachers Already Use

Brisk Teaching is a Chrome and Edge extension that layers AI tools over Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, Microsoft Word, Canvas, and any webpage — no separate app or copy-pasting required. A teacher reading a student essay in Google Docs can generate targeted feedback as in-line comments; a teacher on any article or YouTube video can turn it into a quiz, lesson plan, or presentation in a couple of clicks.

The free Educator plan includes 20+ tools with unlimited usage on standard models. Paid Premium and Intelligence tiers, priced by quote for schools and districts, add 35+ tools, faster "Turbo" models, admin dashboards, personalized professional development, and — on the Intelligence tier — alignment of every generated lesson and assessment to the district's own curriculum, pacing, and scope and sequence.

Key Features

Runs as a Chrome/Edge extension inside Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, Word, and Canvas rather than a separate site
Targeted and batch feedback on student writing, delivered as comments across many assignments at once
Quiz, lesson plan, resource, and presentation generation from any webpage, document, or YouTube video
Inspect Writing replays a student's full drafting history in a Doc to review process and authenticity
Reading-level adjustment and translation of any text for differentiation and multilingual learners
Free plan with unlimited usage; district tiers add Turbo models, dashboards, and curriculum alignment

Ideal Use Case

Brisk suits teachers whose workflow already lives in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and who want AI at the point of work instead of in another tab. It is strongest for writing-heavy classrooms — batch feedback and the drafting-playback tool address the two biggest pain points of essay grading in the AI era — and for schools that want one sanctioned extension instead of teachers freelancing with consumer chatbots.

How Brisk Teaching differentiates

Brisk raised a $15M Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners in March 2025, with Owl Ventures, South Park Commons, and Springbank Collective participating. The company reports more than 2 million teachers using the extension across 20,000 school districts, and holds a 93% Common Sense Privacy Rating — among the highest scores for educator AI tools — alongside FERPA, COPPA, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance.

FAQ
