Most AI answers about your class are guesses. Coursi reads your course files first. Ask about any assignment and the answer is built from your syllabus, your lecture notes and the files you've uploaded, the actual materials for the actual class, not a general model's idea of what a class like yours probably covers. It tells you which file each answer came from. It works like a tutor rather than a search box. Ask it to explain a concept, quiz you before an exam, summarize a reading, or look over an assignment before you turn it in. It gets those materials on its own. Coursi signs into Canvas and BYU Learning Suite and brings your assignments, announcements, documents and grades into one place, then keeps them current in the background. You can add your own PDFs, slides and Word docs too, and Coursi will search those across every course at once. Everything lands on one screen: what's due, what was announced, where your grades stand. Both systems, one list. Your coursework stays on your phone and is never uploaded to us. You sign in on Canvas's and Learning Suite's own pages, so Coursi never sees your password. What syncs between your own devices is only what you wrote yourself: your notes, your edits, your chat history. Terms of Use: https://coursi.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://coursi.dev/privacy
