Brisk Teaching — AI Chrome extension that speeds up grading and lesson creation for teachers.

About Brisk Teaching

Brisk Teaching is a free AI Chrome extension for teachers that works directly inside the tools they already use — Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, YouTube and any webpage — to speed up grading, feedback, lesson creation and more without switching platforms. Its "meet teachers where they already work" approach is a big part of its appeal: no new system to learn, just AI superpowers layered onto familiar tools.

With Brisk, a teacher can generate feedback on a Google Doc essay in seconds, create a quiz or lesson from any article or YouTube video, adjust the reading level of a text for differentiation, detect potential AI-generated writing, and see a student's writing history (how a document was actually created over time) to check authenticity. It handles the repetitive, time-draining tasks that consume teachers' evenings and weekends.

Brisk offers a genuinely free core plan, with Brisk Boost (paid) and school plans adding more features, higher limits and admin tools.

Strengths: works inside existing tools (no platform switching), a strong free tier, fast feedback and differentiation, and the writing-history feature for authenticity. Weaknesses: it's browser-extension-based (Chrome-centric), AI feedback needs teacher review before sharing with students, and heavier features sit behind the paid tier.

For teachers who live in Google Workspace and want AI assistance embedded right where they work — grading, giving feedback, creating from any content, and checking authenticity — Brisk Teaching is one of the most convenient and popular free AI tools for educators, saving hours without disrupting existing workflows.
