Brisk Teaching
A free Chrome extension that creates quizzes, lesson materials and feedback right inside Google Docs and websites.
What is Brisk Teaching?
Brisk is an AI helper that lives in your Chrome browser. Open any article, YouTube video, PDF or Google Doc, click the Brisk button, and it creates teaching material from what's on your screen. No copying and pasting between tabs.
Think of it as an assistant that sits right beside every page you open.
