The Problem We Solve

Information Overload

Stop wasting time digging through scattered Canvas modules, random PDFs, and lecture slides. Your materials are everywhere, making it hard to find the right info and see how it all connects.

Generic AI Tools Fall Short

Generic AI tools don't use your specific content. Our one-click sync automatically pulls all your Canvas materials (modules, files, pages) to help you Learn, Reinforce, and Test using your exact course content.

Professor-Specific Frameworks

Generic AI doesn't know your professor's unique terminology, niche frameworks, or specific examples. From complex 'MIS 375' frameworks to concepts in your slides, this AI learns from your exact course materials.

Why We Made It & How We Help You

01

Automatic Canvas Integration

We built MyCanvasAI because we experienced the pain ourselves. The extension automatically pulls all your course materials from Canvas—modules, files, pages, assignments—and stores them securely for instant AI-powered access.

02

Your Content, Your AI

Unlike generic AI chatbots, every answer is grounded in YOUR exact course materials. Citations link directly to specific pages in your PDFs, so you can verify and dive deeper with confidence.

03

Free & Private

Use your own free Google Gemini API key. Your data stays with you. No subscriptions, no selling your information. Just powerful AI studying that respects your privacy.

04

Learn, Reinforce, Test

Three powerful modes help you master concepts: Learn new material with AI explanations, Reinforce understanding with interactive Q&A, and Test yourself with AI-generated practice questions—all from your actual course content.

Your data is stored locally in your browser. Use your own free Gemini API key. No subscriptions, no tracking, no compromises.

About Us

We're two UT Austin students who built the study tool we wished we had. We were tired of downloading lecture slides just to upload them to a generic AI, and frustrated by the gap between those tools and our actual course materials. We built MyCanvasAI to bridge that divide, it plugs right into your course content. We sincerely hope it helps you as much as it's helped us.

Our mission is simple: make studying more effective by leveraging AI that actually understands your specific courses. We believe education technology should be accessible, private, and genuinely helpful—not another subscription draining your wallet.

Built with the goal of helping students study smarter, not harder.
