A grading assistant that gives feedback, not just a score

Teachers don't need software that grades faster. They need software that helps students understand what to do differently next time.

Ask any teacher what they'd do with an extra ten hours a week, and grading is usually the first thing they'd hand off. So we built a grading assistant. The easy part was speed. The hard part was making sure faster didn't mean shallower.

Scores tell you where. Feedback tells you what to do.

A 72% tells a student they didn't fully get it. It doesn't tell them which part to revisit. Our grading assistant attaches specific, in-context feedback to the parts of an answer that need it — the same kind of margin note a thoughtful teacher would leave, generated in seconds instead of an evening.

Teachers stay in the loop the whole time. Every suggested comment is editable before it reaches a student, and teachers can teach the assistant their own rubric language over time, so the feedback sounds like them, not like a template.
