Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use Self-Review Builder?+
Yes — Self-Review Builder calls an AI model, so it needs a free account. Signing up takes a minute, needs no card, and starts you with 200 credits. 14 of Backrow's calculators do run with no account at all; they are listed at backrow.ai/free.
Is Self-Review Builder actually free?+

How is this different from Excel?+
Excel is a great single-purpose tool. Backrow's Self-Review Builder is one of 120+ tools in a single platform — alongside lecture recording, AI notes, flashcards, quizzes, and study guides. You stop juggling five subscriptions and switching tabs.
Will my professor catch me using this?+
Self-Review Builder is a study aid, not a cheating tool. Use it the same way you'd use a calculator, dictionary, or office hours: to understand the work, not to dodge it. For assignments where AI is explicitly banned, don't use it. For everything else (problem sets, exam prep, learning a topic faster), it's fair game.
Do I need to download anything?+
No. Self-Review Builder runs in your browser. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. There's also a mobile-installable version (PWA) at backrow.ai if you want it on your home screen.

Can I use Self-Review Builder on my phone?+
