Importing a syllabus with AI

During setup (or later, from a course page), upload a syllabus as a PDF, image, or text file. BriefDesk reads it and proposes a course: meeting times, a reading schedule, assignments, and exam dates.

This is a draft, not a final answer. Review every field before saving — course names, dates, and readings are all editable at this step, and syllabi are sometimes ambiguous (a range of pages, an optional reading) in ways only you can resolve.

Scanned or handwritten syllabi can be harder to read accurately — try a cleaner PDF or typed version if the first attempt comes back incomplete. You can also just fix the fields directly; nothing requires re-uploading.

Each account has a monthly AI usage allowance shared across syllabus import and note formatting — see "Understanding the AI usage cap" in Billing & account if an import is blocked for that reason.
