This is like giving every teacher a super-fast, tireless teaching assistant that can read student work, score it, and draft feedback so the teacher can focus on teaching instead of paperwork.
Manual grading of essays, assignments, and quizzes is slow, inconsistent, and burns teacher time that could go to instruction and student support. AI grading tools reduce grading workload and standardize feedback while keeping the teacher in control of final decisions.
Embedding AI deeply into teacher workflows (LMS integration, rubrics, plagiarism checking, feedback templates) and continuously improving with real classroom data can create a sticky product and marginally proprietary grading/feedback heuristics.

Medium (Integration logic)
Context-window and inference cost for long-form student submissions, plus the need for strong privacy/compliance controls on student data.
Early Majority
Focus on grading and feedback rather than generic writing assistance; tuned for teachers’ workflows (rubrics, academic integrity, education LMS integrations) rather than generic document editing.
