Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Planory.ai — the free AI assignment planner built for Canadian students.

How do I start an assignment when I have no idea where to begin?
Open Planory.ai, enter your assignment type and due date, and generate your plan before anything else. You will immediately have a specific first task — "spend 90 minutes finding 3 sources" — instead of a blank page. Once you have a concrete first action, the procrastination barrier breaks. The AI assistant then gives you those sources, an outline, and a first paragraph to build from.
What is the best free assignment planner for students?
For students who need help actually completing assignments — not just tracking them — Planory.ai combines a phase-by-phase deadline calculator with a built-in AI study assistant. Generic homework tracker apps tell you when things are due but offer no help with the work itself. Planory.ai is built for the moment you sit down to start an assignment and need structured guidance.
How do I stop procrastinating on homework?
Assignment procrastination is almost always caused by two things: not knowing where to start, and the task feeling too large. Both are solved the same way — a specific, phase-by-phase plan that gives you one small first action. Use this planner to create your plan before you open a single document.
How do I plan an essay in 3 days?
Day 1: 2–3 hours of research, then build a tight bullet-point outline. Day 2: write the full draft from start to finish without editing as you go. Day 3: revise for argument clarity in the morning, fix citations and proofread in the afternoon. Enter your 3-day window and the planner generates the exact time allocation automatically.
How do I write a research paper in a week?
Days 1–2: research and note-taking. Day 3: outline. Days 4–5: write the full draft. Day 6: revise and strengthen the argument. Day 7: citations, formatting, proofread. Set your deadline to 7 days and the research paper planner generates this breakdown automatically.
What does the AI assignment assistant do?
The AI assistant is embedded in your plan and pre-loaded with your title, type, and deadline. It can find 3 credible sources, generate a structured outline, expand any section into a starter paragraph, improve your draft text, and answer questions about your specific assignment — without writing the assignment for you.
How do I plan a last-minute assignment?
For deadlines within 24 hours, use the last-minute assignment planner at planory.ca/last-minute. It asks for your current time, your deadline time, and timezone — then generates an hour-by-hour schedule for the exact hours you have available.
Does this work for university and college assignments?
Yes. Phase weightings are modelled on academic writing workflows at university level. The research paper and essay planners are designed for citation-heavy assignments. The project planner covers engineering, design, and business deliverables.
Can I add my assignment schedule to Google Calendar?
Yes — once your plan is generated, click "Add to Calendar" to download a .ics file. It imports into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Each phase becomes a separate event with a reminder.
Is this assignment planner free?
Completely free. No account, no signup, no payment. Enter your details and your plan is ready instantly. The AI assistant is also free.
Is this cheating? Can I use this with my professor's knowledge?
Planory.ai is academic support software — the same category as writing centres, tutoring, and university study skills resources. It helps you plan and structure your work. The AI outputs are intentionally partial: starter paragraphs, source lists, and outlines — not finished essays. You can use it openly. Many instructors encourage structured planning tools.
What makes this different from other AI writing tools?
Most AI tools either track due dates (no help with the work) or write everything for you (academic integrity risk). Planory.ai sits in between: it gives you a structured plan and phase-specific guidance designed to help you do the work — not replace you. The AI is context-aware from the start, so every response is specific to your actual assignment.
