Any STEM idea, explained visually in minutes.
Teachers turn a topic or syllabus into a ready-to-teach video, interactive, or slide deck. Students snap a photo of what they're stuck on and get a patient, step-by-step visual explanation.
How it works
From question to lesson in three steps.
01
Ask, or attach
Type a topic in your own words, or add up to four PDFs or photos: a syllabus, a textbook page, a worksheet.
02
Pick a format
A narrated animated video, an interactive students can drag and adjust, or slides for the front of the room.
03
Change it by chatting
Say what to change in plain words and Chalksmith updates the lesson. No editor to learn.
For students
A patient tutor, whenever you get stuck.
Student accounts are for ages 13 and up. Younger students can open any lesson their teacher shares by link, no account needed.

Questions
Quick answers for teachers and students trying Chalksmith for the first time. Anything else? Email help@chalksmith.ai.
Is Chalksmith free to try?
Yes. Create a free account and make your first lessons before deciding whether Chalksmith fits your classroom or study routine.
What can Chalksmith make?
Animated explainer videos, hands-on interactives students can click and drag, and ready-to-present slides, all from a short topic or your own notes.
Can students use Chalksmith on their own?
Yes, if they are 13 or older. Students can type any topic they are stuck on, or upload a photo of the problem, and get a visual explanation at their own pace, then ask follow-up questions to go deeper, like having a private tutor.
Can I change a lesson after it is made?
Yes. Tell Chalksmith what to change in plain words, like "make it simpler" or "add a worked example," and it updates the lesson for you.
Can I use my own curriculum materials?
Yes. Attach up to four PDFs or photos, such as syllabus notes, readings, or a textbook page, so the lesson matches what your class is learning.
How do I get lessons to my students?
Share a private link, export the lesson file, or publish it to the Explore library. Lessons can also be grouped into lesson sets for a whole unit.
How is Chalksmith different from slide or worksheet tools?
Most tools give you static pages. Chalksmith makes ideas move, so students can watch how a concept works and explore it hands-on instead of only reading about it.
Your next lesson is one sentence away.
