Frequently Asked Questions

What is Recess?

Recess is an AI-powered study assistant that provides instant answers and explanations for any question on your screen. By using discreet hotkeys to capture a screenshot, you can receive AI responses on any website—including Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas, Blackboard, and Gradescope—without ever leaving the page. Responses are displayed discreetly in the bottom-left corner of your screen to ensure a seamless workflow.

Is Recess detectable by sites like Canvas, Google Classroom, or Google Forms?

No. Our testing confirms that Recess is undetectable by Canvas and other educational platforms. These sites typically monitor activity by tracking mouse clicks and tab switching. Because Recess is operated entirely through keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys, it generates answers automatically without requiring user input or mouse movement. Since there are no tab switches or trackable clicks, your activity remains private.

How do I cancel my Recess+ plan?

You can cancel your Recess+ subscription at any time directly through the Recess website. Once you select "Cancel Plan," your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle, after which you will not be charged again.

Do you have to pay to use Recess?

Yes. To access the features of Recess, you must be subscribed to our premium plan. This subscription enables you to send questions to our AI and receive high-level, instant responses.

How accurate is Recess?

Recess utilizes the latest large language models to provide high-accuracy answers across various subjects, including STEM and the Humanities. While the tool is highly reliable, we encourage students to use the responses as a study guide and verify the individual steps, as AI can occasionally produce errors in highly complex calculations.

Can AI homework tools like Recess be used to assist students in the classroom?

Recess is intended to be a supplemental learning tool designed to help students overcome academic "roadblocks." It serves as an on-demand resource to help clarify difficult concepts and provide guidance during independent study.
