What Course Compass does today — and what's coming.

A clear word on AI
The free tier's core features make no AI calls — the priority engine, treasure hunt, study timer, streaks, and keyword note-matching all run locally in your browser, with no servers of ours involved. Free accounts also get a one-time allowance of 75 AI credits, so you can try quiz generation, notes indexing, or OCR before deciding whether to subscribe.
Plus and Pro subscribers get ongoing access to the AI study layer — quiz generation, Clipper conversational chat, draft pre-grading, notes indexing, and OCR. These features are powered by Claude (via the Charted Edu Tech backend), metered in AI credits, and always opt-in — they are clearly labeled in the app and never switched on silently. The free tier's local features are not affected and stay fully functional either way.
