ChatGPT doesn't know your module. Braintiq does.

Common questions

What is Braintiq?

Braintiq turns each of your modules into a subject space. The AI in that space is given excerpts from your own lecture notes, past papers and textbooks, and builds study guides, flashcards, quizzes and study plans from them. You can study on your own, or share the space with classmates and work through it together. It is built for South African university and TVET students, and you can add your module's study guide or syllabus so answers follow the scope your lecturer sets.

How do I know Braintiq is not making things up?

When Braintiq builds a study guide from your documents, each statement quotes the passage it is based on, and Braintiq checks that the quote really appears in that document. Each quote names the file it came from, and the page when it can. A quote shows where a statement came from; read the passage when it matters, to be sure it says what the statement says.

Can Braintiq search the web?

Yes, on the paid plans. Student Pro includes 15 web searches a day and Student Max includes 40. Braintiq can search the web when a question needs something your material does not cover, and it shows the web sources it used. The free plan does not search the web.

How much does Braintiq cost?

There is a free plan and two paid Student plans, priced in rand. Student Pro is R49 a month, R249 a semester or R449 a year, which works out to R37.42 a month on annual billing. Student Max is R110 a month, R594 a semester or R999 a year, which works out to R83.25 a month.

Is there a free version?

Yes, and it needs no card. The free plan gives you the AI tutor at 15 messages an hour, 25 a day and 250 a month, flashcards, quizzes and the study planner, 2 subject spaces of your own, and 2 document uploads every 36 hours. Student Pro and Student Max raise those limits and add web search, the Spatial Engine, Notes AI and offline mode.

What is the difference between Student Pro and Student Max?

Student Pro gives you the full AI tutor at 40 messages an hour, 120 a day and 1,500 a month, web search at 15 searches a day, unlimited subject spaces, 3 document uploads per chat, the Spatial Engine and Notes AI, offline mode, and 15 Claude deep answers a day. Student Max allows up to 120 messages an hour with no daily or monthly cap, web search at 40 searches a day, 10 document uploads per chat, priority access to the fastest models, 20 Claude deep-think answers a day, and early access to new features.

Which universities and colleges is it for?

All of them: UCT, Wits, UJ, UP, Unisa, NWU, TUT, DUT, CPUT and every other South African university, plus all 50 TVET colleges. Any student with an email address can sign up.

What subjects can the AI help with?

Any subject you study at university or TVET college: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Accounting, Law, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics and more, with step-by-step answers. Student Pro and Max add interactive visual models for STEM topics.

Does it work on my phone, and offline?

Yes. Braintiq runs in your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen on Android or iPhone like an app. Flashcards you have opened are kept on the phone, so they still work when data or power is down. On Student Pro and Max the tutor can also run on your device without data, on phones and computers that support it.

How do the flashcards work?

The AI turns any topic or your own notes into flashcards, and spaced repetition brings each card back just before you are likely to forget it, so you spend more time on what you do not know and less on what you do. You can also add your own cards.

Can I cancel?

Yes. There is no lock-in and no cancellation fee. Email hello@omnitechworks.com and we will cancel your subscription.

How do I pay?

Payments go through Lemon Squeezy, which accepts major debit and credit cards, with prices in South African rand. Braintiq never sees your card details.
