- [Deadline reminders that text you first](https://textdash.com/use-cases/deadline-reminders): Yes, you can get every deadline texted to you. Send Dash your syllabus or connect your learning system once, and it saves each assignment, quiz and exam with its date, then texts you a heads-up before each one.
- [Turn your syllabus into a calendar by texting a photo](https://textdash.com/use-cases/syllabus-to-calendar): Yes, you can turn a syllabus into calendar dates without typing them. Text Dash a photo or PDF of the syllabus, and it reads every assignment, quiz and exam with its date and weight, then adds them to your calendar once you say yes.
- [Canvas deadline reminders, sent as texts](https://textdash.com/use-cases/canvas-deadline-reminders): Yes, you can get your Canvas deadlines as texts. Sign in to Canvas once on Dash's secure page and Dash reads your courses, saves every due date, and texts you before each one. It works the same way with Brightspace (D2L), Moodle and Blackboard.
- [A morning briefing that fits in one text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/morning-briefing): Dash sends one short text in the morning with what's due that day and anything that changed, like a moved exam, a new announcement or an important email from a professor. It texts first only when it matters, and never during your quiet hours.
- [An AI study planner you text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/ai-study-planner): Dash builds a study plan around your real exam dates, then helps you work through it with practice quizzes, flashcards and tutoring-style hints, all by text. It explains and quizzes, and never writes, answers or submits graded work.
- [Answers about your campus, by text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/ai-campus-assistant): Dash answers questions about your own school, like how to drop a course, where the registrar is, financial aid steps or office hours, and points you to the school's official source. If it can't find an answer, it tells you so instead of guessing.
- [Order food by text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/order-food-by-text): Yes, you can order food just by texting. Tell Dash what you want, and it fills the cart on a food delivery site, shows you the exact items and total, and checks out with the payment already saved on that site once you say yes. It never types card numbers.
- [An AI that makes the phone call for you](https://textdash.com/use-cases/ai-that-makes-calls): Yes, Dash can make a phone call for you. Text it what you need, like rescheduling an appointment or asking a store a question, and once you approve, it phones the business and texts you back what was said.
- [Book study rooms, appointments and reservations by text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/book-appointments-by-text): Yes, Dash can book things for you by text. Ask for a library study room, an advising appointment or a reservation, and Dash finds an open slot, shows you exactly what it will book, and books it once you say yes.
- [Send and reply to email by text](https://textdash.com/use-cases/email-by-text): Yes, you can send and reply to email just by texting. Connect your Gmail or Outlook, tell Dash who to write to and what to say, and it drafts the email, shows you the exact message, and sends it from your account once you say yes.
