AI DISCLOSURE
Last updated May 7, 2026
GradePath uses large language models to provide several features. This document tells you which features use AI, which models are used, what data is processed, and the limits of what AI can reliably do.
1. Which features use AI
- Syllabus parsing. When you upload a syllabus, we send it to an AI model to extract course information, grading categories, weights, assignment dates, and policies. You can review and edit the extracted data before saving it.
- AI tutor (Study). The chat-based tutor uses an AI model to answer questions, explain concepts, generate practice problems, and create study guides. The tutor is aware of your courses, grades, deadlines, and any materials you have uploaded.
- AI agent (copilot and autopilot). The agent uses an AI model to analyze your grade trajectory, draft notifications, generate exam preparation plans, and produce weekly summaries. In copilot mode the agent asks for your approval before acting. In autopilot mode it acts, and you can undo.
- Course materials search. Uploaded documents are indexed with vector embeddings so the tutor can retrieve relevant passages when answering your questions.
2. Which models are used
GradePath uses AI models from Anthropic, specifically the Claude family of models. Heavier tasks like chat, exam preparation, and syllabus parsing use Claude Sonnet. Routine monitoring tasks use Claude Haiku. We route tasks between models to keep cost down without sacrificing quality.
Embeddings for course material search use an embedding model hosted on the same AI infrastructure.
3. What data is sent to AI providers
When you use an AI feature, the following can be sent to Anthropic for processing:
- the text of your message or prompt;
- relevant context assembled by GradePath, such as course names, grade summaries, recent deadlines, and excerpts from materials you uploaded;
- the content of a syllabus or document when you upload it for parsing or indexing.
We do not send your password, payment information, or unrelated personal information. Anthropic processes the data under its own terms and does not use customer API inputs or outputs to train its models. See Anthropic's commercial terms at
anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms.
4. Limits of AI
AI models can be wrong. Specifically:
- Syllabus parsing. The parser is usually accurate but can misread unusual grading schemes, custom fonts, or scanned documents. Always review the extracted information before saving.
- AI tutor answers. The tutor can produce confident but incorrect explanations, especially in subjects where formal correctness matters (math proofs, chemistry nomenclature, statute citations). Verify anything you plan to rely on.
- Grade predictions. Predictions about your final grade or required score on an upcoming assignment are estimates. They use the grading scheme you configured, which may not match what your instructor actually applies at the end of the term.
- Agent actions. The agent acts on the information available. If your syllabus was parsed incorrectly or your grades are out of date, the agent's recommendations will be off.
5. What is deterministic, not AI
Several parts of GradePath do not use AI. They are built on deterministic math. You can trust them to produce the same answer every time from the same inputs:
- current grade calculation from recorded assignments;
- weighted category math, including drop-lowest rules;
- the "what do I need to get a B" calculator;
- calendar view of deadlines and study blocks;
- ICS calendar import and export.
These features do not rely on AI judgment. If they produce the wrong answer, that is a bug, not a hallucination, and we want to hear about it at
[email protected].
6. Training data
We do not train AI models on your personal data. We do not allow third parties to train on it either. We rely on Anthropic's commercial API, under which customer inputs and outputs are not used to train Anthropic's models by default.
7. Opting out
GradePath's core product is AI-powered. You cannot opt out of AI and continue to use features like the tutor, syllabus parsing, or the agent. You can always delete your account and data by contacting us.
If you do not want us to send a specific piece of content to an AI provider, do not upload it. Uploaded content is only sent to an AI provider when you use a feature that requires AI.
8. No academic outcome guarantee
GradePath is a study, organization, and planning tool. We do not guarantee, promise, or warrant any specific academic, educational, or personal outcome from your use of the Services, including any grade, GPA, course passage, exam score, graduation, admission, scholarship, financial aid, athletic or academic eligibility, employment, or any other educational, professional, financial, or personal result. AI features (the tutor, syllabus parsing, exam prep, agent actions, predictions, and recommendations) are study aids, not professional or academic advice, and they are not a substitute for instructors, advisors, tutors, counselors, or your institution's official policies. Your institution's official systems are the sole authoritative record of your grades, credits, GPA, and academic standing. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated; you must verify it before relying on it. You are solely responsible for compliance with your institution's academic integrity and AI-use policies, for the accuracy of the data you provide, and for any consequence arising from an agent action you authorized or did not undo. Full disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification terms are in the
Terms of Service, which control over any conflict with this document.
