We've been integrating support for Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model, which lets certain AI workflows run directly on your device instead of going to the cloud. Paired with retrieval-augmented generation across your course PDFs, assignments, and Canvas content, Canvascope can give answers that are grounded in your own materials with citations back to the original source.
In practice, that means:
- AI that actually understands your courses, not just general knowledge
- Lower latency for supported on-device features
- More privacy, since some tasks never leave your device
- Some features that keep working even without internet
We're excited about a future where educational AI isn't just more powerful. It's faster, more private, and built around a student's own knowledge.
