CheatGPT

What the current CheatGPT product does

CheatGPT is a Chrome extension and companion web app for page-side AI questions, with features specifically aimed at Canvas quizzes and assignments. The current product is operated by Boast Holdings. Its publisher listing describes selecting question text or taking a screenshot to request an answer and explanation, plus an AI sidebar for follow-up discussion.

It is relevant to someone evaluating a browser-based question assistant for permitted study and reference work. The important distinction is between receiving a suggested response and understanding or validating it. An answer displayed beside a question can still be wrong, even if it includes an explanation or confidence score.

Question assistance and saved answers

The extension supports several question formats and can place a suggested response into a question's answer field. Its Canvas workflow also includes saving previously correct answers and reusing them on another attempt. The sidebar and selection toolbar extend beyond Canvas: selected text can be discussed, defined, rewritten or summarized without moving to a separate chat page.

Saved-answer reuse is a convenience for a repeated question, rather than a measure of learning. A similar-looking question may change a condition, a value or the meaning of an option. Review the full wording before relying on a stored response. For a reading task, a short sidebar explanation can help identify what needs clarification, but should remain connected to the original passage.

Example: review an allowed practice question

Work through a practice question yourself, then use the selection or screenshot feature to ask for an explanation. Compare each step with the course material, paying attention to assumptions and the meaning of terms. If the response disagrees with your solution, ask a focused follow-up about the disputed step rather than accepting the final choice immediately.

For a passage-based question, return to the cited sentence and check whether it supports the interpretation. Keep your own corrected notes outside the assistant, and use another practice question to see whether you can apply the idea without help. This workflow uses the extension as a reference aid; the app's answer-saving and form-filling functions do not establish that assistance is allowed in a particular assessment.

Paid access, privacy and product limits

The publisher says extension activation requires paid access and an account email. The terms describe plan-dependent limits, device restrictions and recurring subscriptions that renew until cancelled. Check the current checkout rather than assuming a store installation includes ongoing AI usage.

The privacy policy says question text is sent to an AI provider, while sidebar chats are stored against the account so users can revisit them. It distinguishes these chats from question-answer requests, for which it says it retains hashes and technical metadata rather than raw question text.

CheatGPT also markets Canvas activity-visibility controls. Its own terms explicitly say detection-related wording is not a promise that an institution or proctoring system will fail to detect use. The terms require following course and platform rules and disclaim answer accuracy. It is an independent product, without affiliation to Canvas, Instructure or an educational institution.
