Over 2,000 K-12 schools in 100 countries have installed Brisk’s Chrome extension, which allows teachers to write lesson plans, tests, and presentations, and grade work, since its launch in February 2025.
With 40 tools, the platform uses generative AI, computer vision, and other features.
The most popular tool in the stack, “Targeted Feedback,” uses generative AI to read student essays (on Google Docs) and create comments tailored to age, a grading rubric, or other standards. Before sharing anything with students, teachers can review and edit the comments.
“The existing edtech stack as we know it, which is around 140 different tools that the average teacher in the U.S. uses in a given school year, is not ready for AI,” said Brisk’s CEO and founder, Arman Jaffer.
The San Francisco-based Brisk raised $15 million in funding with investors such as Bessemer Venture Partners, Owl Ventures, South Park Commons, and Springbank Collective.
The funding will be used in part to build more tools, and in part to expand to more platforms. A Microsoft integration, aimed at the many Microsoft shop schools, is planned for autumn 2025.
