How it works

What Coast does, and how.

Coast connects to your Canvas and runs inside your own Claude or ChatGPT account. Every night it prepares the week; every morning you decide what stays. ← Back to the community

Your time, back

Coast does the preparation.
You do what matters to you.

on one page.

Today, Assignments, Review and Notes. It opens in Claude or ChatGPT, on your phone or your laptop.

Your next class, a summary of the last one, and what’s due this week.

What it does

Set up once.
Three jobs leave your evening.

Your calendar

Your calendar keeps up with Canvas.

Classes, rooms and every dated assignment, read from Canvas and your syllabi and put on your calendar. When a deadline moves in Canvas, it moves on your calendar. Study blocks appear 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before each exam.

Never over a class, or Shabbat if you say so

Notes and quizzes

One chapter. One set of notes. One practice quiz.

When your professor posts a chapter, Finn writes its notes and a quiz overnight, ready before the next class. A mock exam arrives a week before each real one. Flashcards come due in Review.

Every note downloads as PDF or Word

First drafts

Finn prepares a draft. You decide what stays.

Each assignment gets a first draft, with the course’s AI policy quoted at the top. Maths comes back typeset, code as a source file. You rewrite it, and you hand it in.

Drafts, never submits

Questions

Where the line is,
and where your data goes.

Coast prepares. You decide. Here is exactly where that line sits.

No. Every draft stays in your Coast account, labelled as a draft. Nothing reaches Canvas unless you put it there.

Each draft opens with your course’s AI policy, quoted from the syllabus, so the rule is in front of you while you rewrite.

Only a course’s shape: its syllabus, meeting times, posted slides and deadlines. Never anyone's work, grades, notes or drafts.

In your Coast account. Your Canvas token and any Google access are encrypted, with the key kept outside the database. You can revoke either at any time.

In your own Claude or ChatGPT account. Coast doesn’t run the model. Whether your chats are used for training is a setting in that account.

Yes, from Settings. You get an export first, then everything private is deleted.

A Canvas account, and Claude (Pro, Max or Team) or ChatGPT (Plus). Google and a laptop for recording lectures are optional.

About two minutes: sign in, add your Canvas token, connect Claude or ChatGPT.

Any time, from Settings. You get an export of your notes, calendar and drafts first.

Make room for what you’re building.
