AskSia is an AI study platform for university students. Upload your lectures, PDFs, and readings and then AskSia will transcribe, highlight key concepts, organise your notes, and answer questions based on your actual coursework. Used by 2M+ students at 2,000+ universities worldwide.
ChatGPT gives generic answers from the internet. AskSia works from your own uploaded learning materials — your textbooks, your lectures, and your syllabus — so every answer is relevant to what you're actually studying.
Sia Agent is AskSia's study agent for your desktop, on macOS and Windows. It teaches on a live whiteboard while it talks, plans your exam prep to the day, and turns your own files into study material. It's a standalone app: you sign in with your AskSia account, and your content is kept separate from the web and mobile apps.
The AskSia browser extension syncs your course materials from Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Everytime, CyberCampus, Echo360 and Panopto in one click, in about 30 seconds per course. It is free to install, works in desktop Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc, and is read-only, so it never changes anything on your course site.
All university subjects — STEM, business, law, humanities, social sciences, and more. AskSia adapts to your materials rather than a fixed subject list.
Record a live lecture in the app or upload an audio or video file. AskSia converts it to a searchable transcript and automatically tags key ideas, concepts, and action items in real time.
Yes. Upload PDFs, slides, and readings directly into AskSia. It highlights what matters and lets you ask questions about specific sections without switching apps.
AskSia has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans unlock unlimited uploads, full transcription, and advanced note organisation.
AskSia is a learning tool, not a homework-copying service. It helps you understand your own materials. Always follow your institution's academic integrity policy when using AI tools.
Yes. AskSia is available on iOS and Android, on the web, and as a Chrome extension. Record lectures, review notes, and study from anywhere.
