Question 7

How do I connect my Canvas account?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Canvas Integration and click 'Connect Canvas'. You'll be redirected to your university's Canvas login page to authorize UniBrain. We only read course materials, assignments, and grades — we never modify anything in your Canvas account.

Question 8

How does the AI tutor work?

Accepted Answer

UniBrain's AI tutor is built on large language models fine-tuned for educational contexts. When you chat with a subject, the AI has access to your uploaded materials, textbook content, and course syllabus. It uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to provide answers grounded in your specific course content, not generic internet knowledge.

Question 9

Can the AI help me generate study materials?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! UniBrain can generate flashcards, practice quizzes, study guides, and summaries from your uploaded materials. Just ask the AI to create any of these within a subject conversation, or use the dedicated study tools in the subject dashboard.

Question 10

Is the AI content accurate?

Accepted Answer

The AI is grounded in your course materials, which significantly improves accuracy. However, AI can occasionally make mistakes. We always recommend cross-referencing important information with your textbooks and lecture notes. Use the AI as a study aid, not a replacement for proper research.

Question 11

What types of files can I upload?

Accepted Answer

UniBrain supports PDF documents, PowerPoint slides (.pptx), Word documents (.docx), plain text files, and images of text. We're working on supporting audio and video lectures. Maximum file size is 50MB per upload.

Question 12

Is my data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We take data privacy seriously. Your course materials and conversations are encrypted at rest and in transit. We never share your data with third parties or use it to train models without your explicit consent. Your data belongs to you, always.

Question 13

Does UniBrain use my data to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your uploaded materials and conversations are never used to train any AI models. They are stored securely and used only to provide personalized tutoring for your account. You can request full data deletion at any time.

Question 14

Is UniBrain FERPA compliant?

Accepted Answer

UniBrain is designed with FERPA principles in mind. We act as a 'school official' when integrated with your university's Canvas LMS. We minimize data collection, provide data export and deletion tools, and maintain strict access controls. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
