What is Brisk Teaching?
Brisk Teaching is an AI browser extension that helps teachers create lessons, give feedback and level texts inside Google Docs, Slides and any website. Brisk says 1 in 3 US teachers use it and that more than 10,000 districts have adopted it, and the company raised a $15M Series A in 2025.
Brisk's difference is that it works where teachers already are: instead of opening another app, you click the extension on a document, article or video to generate a quiz, a lesson plan, a rubric or feedback on student writing. It also works with Microsoft tools, has a web app, and includes Brisk Boost, which turns any resource into an interactive activity for students. It holds a 95% Common Sense Privacy rating.
