Penora — your own Claude for assignments, minus the price and the busywork. Most students pay ~$20/mo for a chatbot, then still spend an hour turning the answer into a real document. Penora skips that. Connect Google Classroom and it turns your actual assignments into review-ready files: 📄 Finished DOCX, PDF & PPTX — title pages, headings, tables, charts, ✍️ 41 realistic handwriting styles, 🎨 86 deck themes in seconds. A chatbot gives you text. Penora gives you the final draft to work.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Penora started out of pure frustration. As a student I was paying for ChatGPT and Claude — they're genuinely great — but every real assignment turned into the same chore: prompt it, copy the answer, paste into Word, fix the formatting, build a title page from scratch, redo the headings. The AI did ~60% of the work; I did the boring 40% every single time, and paid ~$20/mo for the privilege.
So I built the thing I actually wanted: an AI that reads my Google Classroom assignments and hands me a review-ready draft — a real DOCX/PDF/PPTX with a title page, headings, tables, and code when the task needs it — that I can check, edit, and finish.
The scope kept snowballing as I used it on my own coursework:
It began as a plain document generator.
Then I added Google Classroom sync, so I'd stop re-typing every prompt.
Then presentations — 86 modern themes — when slide assignments showed up.
Then real math, runnable code, and auto-embedded charts for my technical classes.
Then Autopilot, which drafts Classroom assignments automatically and leaves them ready for you to review before you submit.
And a bonus: an optional handwritten-style render (41 styles) for anyone who prefers it (It helps me memorize stuff better for my exam because of beautiful handwriting e.g. font #08).
Honestly the hard part was never the AI — it was everything around it: making documents look genuinely polished and review-ready, getting Classroom auth right, and keeping it cheap enough that a student could actually afford it. That last part matters most to me: in our own testing, our $29 plan goes about as far as Claude's $200 tier — roughly 1,200 documents, ~700 presentations (50 slides each), or ~460 full assignments with embedded charts and code.
Would love your honest feedback — especially on the document output quality and the credits system (Is it fair and will you switch from $20 Claude to $9 Penora?). I'll be here all day. 🙏
