Case prep, fast.
Section chat, real.

Case-method classes mean dense reading and getting cold-called. ClassMinds works on the cases your professor assigned and the framework your section is using — not a generic management textbook.

What makes ClassMinds work for B-school

📊

Case prep that matches your prof

Drop in a Harvard / Ivey / Darden case. Ask "what's the protagonist's actual decision?" — answer is grounded in that case's exhibits, not a stranger's case-write-up from 2014.

💬

Per-section chat

Sections matter in B-school — your study group is the section. Class chat is gated to verified .edu and your section, so it's actually useful for "anyone got a quick take on Q3 of the case?"

🎯

Practice questions from your slides

Upload the slide deck, generate practice cold-call questions in the style of your professor. Particularly useful before recitation-heavy classes (strategy, OB, finance).

A day in your B-school life

Hit record, focus on the discussion
Stop trying to take notes during a fast-moving section discussion. ClassMinds records, generates a summary that captures both the prof's framing AND the student insights you'll want to reference for the final.

"Walk me through how Prof. Ramirez frames competitive advantage"
AI uses your strategy class slides + your section's notes. Output matches what's actually on the exam — including the Porter critique your prof always sneaks in.

"Quote placeholder — MBA testimonials coming once beta users have section-chat usage data."

Business school specific questions

Can I upload HBS / Ivey / Darden cases?

Yes — the AI works on any text-based PDF. Your school's case license usually permits personal study use; sharing them broadly may not be allowed (check your case license).

Will this generate a "case write-up" I can submit?

It can summarize and explain. Whether you submit AI-generated content depends on your school's honor code. Generally, ClassMinds is good for preparing, not for ghost-writing your final analysis.

Does the section chat work across ~80 students?

Class chat scales fine for 80-150 active members. It's filtered by your verified school + class membership — only people actually in your section show up.

What about quant-heavy classes (corp finance, accounting)?

The AI handles math notation and step-by-step walkthroughs. For Excel modeling specifically, ClassMinds isn't a spreadsheet tool — but it can explain the formulas your professor used in lecture.

Is this useful for MBA recruiting prep?

Indirectly. ClassMinds is a study tool, not an interview-prep tool. But the practice-question generation from slides could help you frame answers for "tell me about a class where you analyzed a strategic decision."
