AskSia

AskSia is an AI study platform designed for university students and others who work with course materials. It enables users to upload readings, lectures, PDFs, slides, or videos and to access tools that support understanding and exam preparation. The platform emphasizes alignment with actual coursework and real syllabi. It builds toward helping learners manage study across devices and languages, grounding explanations in the user’s course context.

AskSia operates by letting users upload materials or connect to course content via extensions and apps. It transcribes, highlights key concepts, organizes notes, and answers questions based on the user’s coursework. The Sia Agent desktop app also tutors by teaching on a live whiteboard, planning exam prep to the day, and turning files into study material. Content is kept separate across products with shared login.

AskSia provides several core capabilities including summaries, cheat sheets, flashcards, quizzes, and real-time transcription. It supports live problem solving with visual explanations, speaker-identification for lectures, and offline-ready study materials. The service emphasizes personalized progress tracking and material-based explanations rather than generic internet answers.

AskSia supports multiple platforms and integrations. It offers a web app, a Chrome/Edge extension, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. It integrates with LMS platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, and others via a one-click sync, and includes a library of materials from many universities. It discusses plans, platform availability, and integration options in its product and policy pages.
