Getting started

What DueFirst is, how a chat works, and the fastest way to get a useful answer.

DueFirst is a study coach in chat form. You describe what you're working on, it asks a couple of sharp questions when something is genuinely unclear, then gives you a direct plan or answer — no filler, no fake schedules.

Your first chat

  1. Open the app. The input bar sits in the centre of a fresh chat.
  2. Type what you actually need — "help me outline my history essay" beats "help".
  3. Answer any clarifying questions that appear above the input bar, or hit Skip and let it decide.
  4. Read the answer, then use the follow-up chips underneath to go deeper.

Getting better answers

  • Say what the deliverable is: an outline, a summary, a worked example, a study plan.
  • Say what you already know, so it doesn't re-explain the basics.
  • Mention the deadline. It changes what it tells you to cut.
  • Connect Canvas so it can reference your real assignments instead of guessing.

Signed out, you can still chat — but nothing is saved. Sign in to keep chats, tasks, quick checks, and documents.
