Brisk Teaching
Freemium Last verified: September 2026Free Chrome extension that adds 20+ AI teaching tools directly inside Google Docs, Classroom, and YouTube
What is Brisk Teaching?
Brisk Teaching is an AI teaching assistant delivered as a Chrome and Edge browser extension that lives directly inside the apps teachers already use: Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Classroom, and YouTube. Instead of switching to a separate AI website to generate lesson materials, Brisk adds a sidebar inside Google Docs where teachers can generate rubrics, give feedback on student work, level texts for different reading grades, create quizzes, and more, all without copy-pasting between apps. On YouTube, Brisk can generate lesson plans, discussion questions, and quizzes directly from any video. Brisk has become one of the most popular AI tools for teachers in 2026 specifically because of this 'don't break my workflow' approach. The Educator Free plan includes 20+ core tools free forever, and paid Premium and Intelligence plans for schools and districts (custom pricing) add 35+ AI tools, turbo language models, admin dashboards, and rostering. For teachers who already live in Google Docs and Classroom every day, Brisk's in-context AI help is a major productivity unlock. The main limitation is that it is Chrome/Edge only, teachers on iPads or Safari cannot use it.

FAQ
Is Brisk Teaching really free?
Yes, Brisk Teaching offers a Free Forever plan that includes 20+ AI teaching tools with reasonable usage limits. This is genuinely usable for most individual teachers. Brisk's plans page now lists no individual paid tier; individual teachers use the free Educator plan, while schools and districts can purchase Premium or Intelligence plans with custom pricing.
How is Brisk different from MagicSchool?
The key difference is delivery: Brisk is a Chrome extension that lives inside Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, and YouTube, so you generate AI content without leaving the apps you are already using. MagicSchool is a standalone web app where you visit a separate site. If you live in Google Workspace, Brisk is more efficient. If you want a broader tool library in one place, MagicSchool has more tools.
Does Brisk work with YouTube?
Yes, one of Brisk's most unique features. When you open a YouTube video, the Brisk extension adds buttons to generate a full lesson plan, discussion questions, quiz, or reading passage based on the video's transcript. This is especially useful for teachers using YouTube content in class who want AI-generated teaching materials to go with it.
Can Brisk give feedback on student work?
Yes, inside Google Docs, Brisk can generate written feedback on student work based on criteria you specify. For Google Classroom assignments, it can bulk-generate personalized feedback for a class in minutes. This is one of the top-used features among teachers who grade lots of written work.
Does Brisk detect AI-written student work?
Brisk includes an AI detection tool that flags sections of student work that may have been AI-generated. Like all AI detectors, this should be used as a starting point for a conversation rather than definitive proof, detection accuracy is imperfect and can produce false positives. Treat it as an early warning, not a verdict.
How much does Brisk Pro cost?
Brisk no longer publishes an individual Pro price. Its plans page lists Educator Free at $0/month for individual teachers, plus Premium and Intelligence plans for schools and districts with custom pricing; contact Brisk directly for a quote.
Does Brisk work on iPad or Safari?
No, Brisk is delivered as a Chrome and Edge browser extension, so it only works on those browsers on desktop. iPad users cannot use Brisk directly because iPad browsers do not support Chrome extensions. For iPad workflows, a standalone web app like MagicSchool is a better fit.
