SC Blackboard Assistant

About

SC Blackboard Assistant is an AI-powered search tool built for Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University. It lets you search across all your Blackboard courses, documents, and announcements using natural language — no more clicking through endless folders.

HOW IT WORKS
  • Open Blackboard and the extension automatically scans your courses
  • Ask questions like, "When is spring break?", or, "What's the reimbursement policy?"
  • Get direct answers with citations from your actual course materials
  • Click through to the original resource on Blackboard

FEATURES
  • Smart search: understands questions about calendars, syllabi, locations, faculty, and more
  • Content extraction: reads PDFs and HTML pages so it can answer from the actual text
  • Conversational: ask follow-up questions naturally
  • Light & dark mode
  • Works with Claude, OpenAI, or DeepSeek (API key required)
