Glasp Student: free for university students
Studying means reading a lot: papers, PDFs, lecture videos, and long articles. So we made a new plan for it. Glasp Student is free for 12 months, and you can renew it while you are a student. No credit card needed.
Studying means reading a lot: papers, PDFs, lecture videos, and long articles. So we made a new plan for it. Glasp Student is free for 12 months, and you can renew it while you are a student. No credit card needed.
Every 30 days, you get:
100 Advanced summaries for videos, articles, and PDFs
100 chat credits on every chat model
50 PDF chat messages
120 minutes of audio transcription
That comes on top of everything in the Free plan.
Who can get it: current college and university students aged 18 or older. Sign in to Glasp through Google or Apple with your university email, such as one ending in .edu, .ac.uk, .ac.jp, or .edu.au. Your account cannot have a paid plan that renews. Activating takes a few questions about your studies.
Our student check is not perfect yet, so activation may fail even if you are eligible. If that happens, email us at hi@glasp.co and we will help.
How to use it this semester
Reading a paper. Use the summary to decide whether to read, highlight the sentences you would cite, then ask Claude or ChatGPT about your own highlights. Check the passage before you cite it.
How to Read Research Papers with ChatGPT or Claude
Summarizing videos and PDFs. The Free plan allows 3 Glasp AI summaries every 7 days. Glasp Student gives you 100 every 30 days, enough to summarize your lectures and readings as they come in.
