Built by students, for students

About PlanEra

PlanEra started as a simple question: “Why does managing coursework still require so much manual work?” We built the answer.

Our Mission

Make semester planning take minutes, not hours.

Every semester, students spend hours manually copying deadlines from syllabi into calendars, notebooks, and to-do apps. Assignments get missed. Priorities get muddled. Stress builds up when it doesn't have to.

PlanEra uses AI to do the reading for you. Upload your syllabus in any format (PDF, Word doc, or plain text) and in under a minute you have every assignment, exam, and deadline organized, prioritized, and ready to review.

No more manual copying

AI reads your syllabus so you don't have to transcribe anything.

Grade-aware prioritization

See exactly what's worth the most points and when it's due.

Every class in one place

All your classes, deadlines, and progress tracked together.

Why PlanEra, not just ChatGPT

Your data, one click, built-in calendar

ChatGPT can write a study plan if you paste in your assignments, but you have to gather everything yourself, and the plan stays in a chat. PlanEra uses your actual tasks: upload your syllabus once, we extract every deadline and grade weight, and the AI Study Plan is one click from your dashboard. The plan lives next to your calendar and task list and stays in sync when you complete things. No copy-paste, no prompt engineering.

We're not a general-purpose chatbot. We're a workflow: upload → extract → plan → act, all in one place.
