Coming soon
Your whole term, in order.
Bring in your syllabus and course files once a week. Alcove sorts every file to its class and week, fits the reading around your life, turns class into notes, and answers your questions from all of it, with the page each answer came from.
Ask
Ask anything about your term.
Alcove answers from your own files: your slides, your readings and your class transcripts. Every answer shows the page or the minute it came from, and when the answer isn’t in your files yet, it says so.
What did Prof. Halvorsen say would be on the midterm?
Weeks 1 to 6, with most of the marks on the problem sets and one long essay question source 1. In Thursday’s class she added that the week 5 reading won’t be tested source 2.

Not in your files yet: the midterm’s date. Bring in the updated syllabus and Alcove will add it.
How it works
Everything for your classes, sorted before you sit down.
Bring it in.
Class folders, a forwarding address, a scan from your phone or the browser extension: the files you already get, once a week.
It sorts, and asks.
Every file goes to its class and its week. When Alcove isn’t sure, it asks you one short question instead of guessing.
It fits your week.
Readings land in the free time before each class. What doesn’t fit is named, with a shorter way through it. Times are estimates, and they learn your pace.
In class
Transcribed, never recorded.
Turn it on in class and Alcove writes down what’s said. An assignment said out loud is filed to the right week, what the professor stresses is marked, and “Lost here” saves a question to bring to office hours, explained later in your weekly guide.
Any course
Any course, any major.
Chemistry, economics, art history or contract law: Alcove works from the syllabus and files you already have.
