Questions people ask
What is Kuva?
Kuva is a web app for Nigerian university students. Your course rep publishes your class’s materials, timetable and coursework, and Kuva sorts them by course and week, reminds you before classes and deadlines, and gives you AI tools to study your PDFs and lectures.
Is Kuva free?
Yes. Signing up is free, and so are your class materials, timetable, reminders, announcements, coursework dates and the PDF tools. Only the AI tools use credits.
How do credits work?
Your credits page lists what each AI tool costs, your balance and every change. Credits are held while a request runs and only taken for a completed answer, so if something fails or times out you get them back.
Can I get more credits?
New accounts get free credits to try the AI tools, one set per person. Buying more credits isn’t available yet.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Kuva works in the browser on your phone or laptop. On your phone you can add it to your home screen and turn on alerts for class reminders.
Can I read class materials without an account?
Yes. If your course rep shares your class link, you can open it and read public PDFs without signing up. You need an account for reminders, announcements and the study tools.
What if my university or course rep isn’t on Kuva yet?
If your university or department isn’t listed when you sign up, you can ask for it to be added. Materials appear once your course rep publishes them, so send them this page. They can register as a course rep.
How does Kuva know someone is really a course rep?
A course rep confirms their class and sends proof. An administrator checks it before they can publish anything, and assistant reps go through the same check.
What happens to my data?
Our Privacy notice explains what Kuva collects, why, and your choices. Files you use in the PDF tools stay on your device and aren’t sent to Kuva.
