AI-Powered Teaching Platform Provides Personalized Recommendations, Resources

Ed tech company Brisk Teaching has introduced Brisk Next, and AI-powered platform for planning, creating, and delivering instruction. The launch represents a move from Chrome extension to a full platform experience, providing personalized recommendations, intelligent content refinement, and seamless workflow integration, the company explained in a news announcement.

Brisk Next offers four key capabilities, as described in the release:

  • Personalized Landing Page with Smart Recommendations: Teachers receive tailored suggestions for resources and student-facing activities based on their recently generated content, time of year, feedback patterns, and insights from student activities.
  • Interactive AI Chat for Content Refinement: Educators can input any topic or upload existing lesson plans and curriculum content to generate ideas, then use the Next chat feature to continuously refine results. All resources are organized into three categories: Prepare (class materials), Engage (student activities), and Assess (knowledge checks).
  • Resource Bundling and Student Assignment: Teachers can select multiple resources into bundles for easy viewing and assign them to individual students or groups, streamlining the distribution of personalized learning materials.
  • Centralized Content Management: The platform provides an "all-in-one" web experience where teachers can access personalized recommendations, generate classroom materials, and review previously created activities.

"Brisk Next represents our vision of meeting teachers not just where they are, but taking them one step further," said Arman Jaffer, founder and CEO of Brisk Teaching, in a statement. "We've learned that teachers don't just need tools — they need intelligent recommendations and seamless workflows that help them figure out what's next for their students."

Brisk Next is FERPA and COPPA compliant and integrates seamlessly with existing Brisk extension capabilities, the company added.
