Getting Started with Brisk: Your Essential Guide

Teachers juggle a million tasks – planning, instruction, feedback, grading, and everything in between. Brisk was designed to lighten that load, giving you practical, classroom-ready support powered by AI.

But with so many possibilities inside Brisk, we wanted to build a simple, go-to guide to help educators dive in right away. That’s why we created the Getting Started with Brisk Guide.

‍

What is Brisk?

Brisk is an AI-powered education platform that supports teachers, students, and schools at every stage of learning – from planning and instruction to feedback and student practice. It’s made up of three connected experiences:

Brisk Extension: Brings in-the-moment support directly into Docs, Slides, Word, PowerPoint, YouTube, PDFs, web articles, and more. Create lessons, adjust reading levels, differentiate, or give feedback without leaving your workflow.
Brisk Next: Your AI hub on the web. Upload files, type in prompts, filter by standards, bundle resources, and assign activities – all in one place.
Brisk Boost: A safe space where students engage with AI in teacher-assigned activities. They get instant support and feedback while you guide the experience.

Together, these form the full Brisk experience – helping educators personalize instruction, save time, and keep learning moving forward.
