How Wingit works with Canvas

Log in to Canvas once. Wingit reads your courses and keeps them current. Robin, the AI study assistant in Wingit, reads all of it, so a short ask gets you a document, notes, or a plan with the sources listed. Works with your school’s system, currently Canvas. Read-only.

  1. Log in to Canvas once

    The way you always do, two-factor and all. Wingit never records or stores your password.

  2. Wingit reads your courses

    Your pages, files, discussions, lecture transcripts, and grades, kept current in the background. Read-only: it never posts or submits.

  3. Robin knows all of it

    Ask for notes, a plan, or an explanation in a few words and get it with the sources listed. Or connect the AI you already use.

Everything your courses gave you, kept current

Wingit reads each course the way you would, page by page, and keeps a searchable copy. The text inside files is read too: PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, speaker notes included, and scanned handouts once text recognition has run. Excel workbooks and CSV files are read sheet by sheet, so Robin can point to the exact row, and Jupyter notebooks cell by cell, with the outputs they last saved. Lectures with captions get a timestamped transcript.

PagesAssignmentsFilesDiscussionsAnnouncementsLecture transcriptsGradesSyllabusModules
One course as Wingit shows it: what is due, what is late, what is done, and Robin’s note written from the same rows. Sample student data.

It syncs in the background every hour, and you can sync any time. A moved deadline, a new assignment, or a new announcement shows up in What’s new, listed by day.

Search covers all of it. A search for “late policy” finds the paragraph in the syllabus, the professor’s reply in a discussion, and the moment in a lecture where it was said.

All of this is read-only. Wingit never posts, submits, messages, or changes anything at your school.

Where it stops

  • Hidden totals stay hidden. A grade total your instructor hides shows as not visible, never as a guess.
  • Locked lectures say so. A lecture your school protects shows an error, not a workaround.
  • Scans take a moment. A photographed worksheet becomes text in the background; until then it is a picture.
  • Some tools live in Canvas. An external tool that needs its own page opens there.

Robin knows all of it

Robin knows which course and page you are looking at and what is due, so you do not have to explain the material. Say what you need in a few words and Robin reads the right things.

Ask for a study guide and get a document you can edit in the app and export to Word, Markdown, or PDF. Ask for notes on a week and get them from the transcript and the slides, not from memory. Ask for help with an assignment and get a plan that names the worksheet, the section, and the rubric.

Answers from your courses list the sources they used, with circled numbers you can follow back to the page, the file, or the minute of the lecture, and Robin says when an answer is not from your course. Robin has eight skills, plan, summarize, explain, quiz, find, write, grades, and catch up, each with example prompts to start from.

Conversations and documents are stored with your account, not in your browser, so they follow you to any computer. Robin is included on every plan, with a number of questions a month.

The knowledge check is 5 points and already a day late, so start there. The three boundary types are on slides 4 to 9 of Week 3.1 The lab this week uses the same map, so the check is practice for it.2 The rubric gives 3 for the diagram and 2 for the explanation.3

Or bring your own AI

Claude DesktopClaude CodeCursorVS Code

If you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code, connect it to Wingit on Plus or Pro and it reads your courses the same way Robin does. Connect an assistant, in Wingit, walks you through it: choose your assistant, create a token for one school, and paste one snippet into your assistant’s settings. About two minutes.

Those questions cost what your AI already costs you and never count against Robin. Tokens are scoped to one school and can be revoked in Settings at any time.

What it costs

Everything from your school, in one place, is free. The plans pay for Robin and for the work that needs real computers: lecture downloads, scanned handouts, and documents.

Your whole semester in one place.

What Wingit never does

  • Never posts in a discussion or submits an assignment
  • Never messages anyone or changes a grade or a setting
  • Never records or stores your school password
  • Never signs in to your school on its own
  • Never estimates a grade your instructor hides
  • Never shares your courses with other students

Questions students ask

Do I give Wingit my school password?

No. You type it into your school’s own sign-in page, shown in the tab. Wingit keeps the signed-in session that results, encrypted, and never records or stores the password.

Does it work with my school?

Wingit works with your school’s system, currently Canvas. You sign in with whatever your school uses, two-factor included. Security keys and passkeys do not work in the sign-in tab, so pick one of your school’s other methods.

Where do my conversations and documents live?

With your account, on Wingit’s servers, not in your browser. Open Wingit on another computer and they are there. Delete your account and your courses, chats and documents go with it.

What happens when my school signs me out?

Wingit tells you a sign-in is needed and waits. It never signs in for you. Sign in again in the tab and syncing picks up where it left off.

Will it remind me about deadlines?

Not with push or text messages. Your week and What’s new show what is due and what moved, with an optional email digest of changes, and you can add a calendar feed of your deadlines to the calendar you already use.

Can my school see that I use Wingit?

It can, if it looks. Wingit’s reads, including an hourly refresh in the background, show up as activity on your own account, coming from Wingit’s servers. Wingit tells your school nothing else about you.

Is Wingit made by Instructure?

No. Wingit is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Instructure, the maker of Canvas.

Which lectures work?

Kaltura lectures in your Canvas courses, with the captions your school provides. A lecture without captions has no transcript in Wingit yet.

One sign-in away.
