How AI Grading Works

From a stack of papers to graded with feedback in three steps

1

Set up the assignment

Describe the task or reuse a lesson you created. We draft an editable, standards-aligned rubric—or use your own.

2

Snap a photo of student work

Upload photos or scans from your phone—one student or a whole stack. The AI reads handwriting and scores against your rubric.

3

Review, tweak & share

Get a grade and personalized feedback for each student. Adjust any score or comment, then export and send home.
