Use Brisk Boost to create an AI chat activity with students. You can create activities based on youtube videos, documents, slides, and more!
With Brisk Boost Writing Coach, students can interact with a chat bot while they write on a document. The bot can read while they write, and the students can ask the bot questions. The best part? The bot doesn't tell them what to write, or give examples they can copy/paste. Instead it ask questions and/or gives suggestions.
If you are trying to Brisk a PDF and get this message: "File is too short" then try these work arounds.
Take a screenshot of a key page and upload it as an image into Brisk. You can only do one page at a time.
Upload to Google Drive and select "Open with Google Docs." The document won't look very attractive in that format, but it will take the content from the document. You can use this google doc to generate material with Brisk.
Try exporting your PDF to save as a png file and then use the image button instead of pdf.
