What it is
Brisk Teaching is an AI-powered teaching assistant delivered primarily as a Chrome extension. It is designed to help teachers save time on common instructional tasks such as lesson planning, differentiation, feedback, and assessment support—while keeping the teacher in control of final instructional decisions.
Maker & Origin
Brisk Teaching is developed by Brisk Labs, an education technology company based in the United States. The tool was created specifically for K–12 educators, with a focus on practical classroom workflows rather than student-facing AI use.
