AI-Powered Assignment Grading
This AI solution uses AI to automatically grade short answers, reports, and comparative-judgment assessments, while supporting human-in-the-loop review for accuracy and fairness. It reduces teacher grading time, scales consistent assessment across large cohorts, and provides faster, more actionable feedback to students—while guiding educators on handling AI-generated work.
The Problem
“Rubric-aligned AI grading with human review, consistency controls, and integrity guidance”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Grading backlogs delay feedback and reduce students’ ability to improve
Inconsistent scoring across sections/graders and difficulty explaining partial credit
Manual rubric mapping and comment-writing consumes teacher planning time
Rising AI-generated submissions make authenticity, policy, and remediation harder

Real-World Use Cases
LLM-as-a-Grader for Short-Answer and Report Evaluation
This is like having an always-available teaching assistant that reads students’ short answers and reports, compares them to a grading guide, and suggests scores and feedback so instructors don’t have to grade everything by hand.
AI Grading Tools for Teachers
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.
No More Marking – Comparative Judgement for Assessment
Think of a pile of student essays. Instead of teachers grading every essay one by one with a long rubric, the system just keeps asking: ‘Which of these two is better?’ After lots of these quick comparisons, the software works out a reliable score for every piece of work. It’s like ranking players in a tournament, but for writing and exams.
AI-Driven Learning Assistance in Education
Think of modern AI in schools as a super-smart homework helper and writing coach that students can use at any time. It can draft essays, solve math problems, and explain concepts in plain language—sometimes so well that it’s hard to tell what work is the student’s and what work is the AI’s.
Accurate AI Grader with a Human-in-the-Loop
This is like having a tireless teaching assistant that can grade student work quickly and consistently, but always keeps a human teacher in charge to review and adjust the grades before they’re final.
