What Pip does when you’re planning an assignment

  1. Break down the brief

    Explains each command word and pulls out the deadline, word count and limits.

    KanBananza
  2. Plan back from the deadline

    Dates every step back from the deadline, with spare days built in.

    KanBananza
  3. Find and save sources

    Checks each saved source against the brief’s limits, and fills missing details from catalogues.

    Peel
  4. Reference as you go

    Tidies capitals and names for your style, and explains the rules.

  5. Plan the chapters

    Splits the word count across your sections, a card for each.

    KanBananza
  6. Sources for each chapter

    Suggests which saved sources fit each section, with their pages.

  7. Write, check and hand in

    Picks the next card when you can’t choose, and checks your work against the brief. Never rewrites it.

Everything Pip does

Planning is the hard part. Getting from “I have five exams and no idea where to start” to “tonight, 40 minutes on quadratics” takes energy that neurocomplex brains, including ADHD and dyslexic ones, often spend just holding everything in. Pip does that first step with you.

  • Marks up a brief: suggests the command words, topic, limits, criteria and what to include as dashed marks you keep or skip, explains a command word for your subject, and says what the brief leaves out.
  • Plans an assignment: three to six dated milestones with small steps, worked back from the deadline, linked to the assignment in the stack.
  • Empties your head: Tell Pip what’s on your mind turns a messy brain dump into separate cards, with dates, boards and labels.
  • Sets up your boards: say what’s going on (exams, a job, a move) and Pip suggests up to three boards, with columns that fit and first cards.
  • Makes a big plan: revision across every subject, a dissertation, a PhD or a house move, as dated cards with rest days.
  • Breaks it down: three to six small steps for a card that feels too big to start.
  • Explains simply: long notes or a dense brief as a few plain bullet points, with every date and number kept. Your original stays.
  • Tidies your references: fixes the capitals and the order of names in a source’s details, and shows you every change first. It never adds details that weren’t there.
Pip’s Tell Pip what’s on your mind window: a brain dump above, and five dated cards below, each ticked.
A brain dump becomes cards, each with a date and a board. Untick any you don’t want.

What Pip won’t do

  • Write or rewrite your work
  • Make up sources
  • Change anything without showing you first
  • Chat about anything else: it does these jobs and stays quick

What Pip sees

Only the brief, card or source you send it, when you press one of Pip’s buttons. Your boards and library stay on your device. We keep no copy and no logs, and nothing is used to train AI.

AI and the rules

Schools and universities have their own rules about AI. Planning help is usually fine, but check your course handbook before you use Pip on a marked piece of work.

Pip dresses for your board

Nearly 100 costumes: one for each board type, from studying and nursing to cafés, trades and gaming, plus the seasons, the holidays you celebrate, your birthday and other big days, and shades when you hide your cards. Just for fun, and you can turn it off in Settings → Pip.
