chalk is an AI learning tool for the Mac and the web that teaches by showing you, answering out loud and pointing at the real thing on your screen.
On a Mac you hold a key and ask about anything in any app. chalk answers in a voice from the notch, marks the actual button, cell or line, and walks you through each step, waiting while you do it before showing the next.
Boards explain any topic visually, starting with what it is and defining every term, then showing a moving picture in the subject's own shape, such as story maps for history, graph stories for maths, code walked through line by line, and close readings for English.
Courses can be built from any topic you want to learn, or from your own files such as lecture slides, tutorials and past papers, with classes in order and citations back to your materials.
Key features include flashcards, quizzes, notes and cheat sheets, speaking and writing practice, interactive graphs and code, circling anything on screen to ask about it, reading whole documents such as a 40-page PDF, and listening in class with transcripts, notes and translations.
On privacy, chalk does not appear in screenshots or shared screens by default, only listens while you hold the key or record a class, keeps no audio, and stores your profile and memory on your Mac where you can remove them.
Pricing: a free start gives 160 credits for 7 days. Paid plans are Board at USD 10 a month, Board + Spatial at USD 25 a month (USD 18 for students and educators) and Unlimited at USD 100 a month, with 20% off yearly.
It is suited to students, educators and self-learners who want guided help with software, study topics and courses.
