Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about LessonDebrief.

Getting Started

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. The Starter plan is free forever with up to 3 students. You can upgrade anytime from your Settings page.

How does billing work?

Plans are billed monthly via Stripe. You can manage your subscription, update payment methods, and view invoices from the billing portal.

Can I change plans later?

Absolutely. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime from your Settings page. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Your data is never deleted. If you downgrade past your plan limits, you won't be able to add new students or generate drafts until you're within limits again.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Both paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy, contact us within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund — no questions asked.

Using LessonDebrief

How do I invite a student or instructor?

You can send an invite directly from your main dashboard page. Enter their email address and they’ll receive an invitation to connect with you on LessonDebrief.

Why can’t I log a lesson or send an invite?

You need to verify your email address before you can log lessons or invite students. Check your inbox for a verification email, or request a new one from the Settings page.

How is the personalized study pack generated?

When an instructor creates a lesson, LessonDebrief analyzes the lesson type, focus areas, and any notes provided. It then generates a personalized study pack with key concepts, review questions, and reference material for the student.

Can I edit a study pack after sending?

Study packs are immutable once sent to ensure a consistent record for both instructor and student. If you need to make changes, create a new lesson and study pack.

What is the walk-in student?

Every CFI account comes with a built-in walk-in student. It lets you quickly log a lesson and generate a study pack for a student who isn’t on LessonDebrief yet — no invite needed.

How do I record a voice debrief?

Open the lesson you want to debrief, switch to the Record tab, and tap the microphone button. Speak naturally — the recording is transcribed and attached to the lesson automatically. Recordings stop automatically after 4 minutes.

Privacy & Security

Is my data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. Information shared with service providers (like our AI and payment processors) is limited to what’s necessary — see our Privacy Policy for details. You can delete your account and data at any time from Settings.
