Grade assignments with AI and deliver feedback automatically

AI grades student assignments and sends personalized feedback by email or Slack for each course automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each student submission.

The problem it solves

Grading assignments across multiple courses and writing thoughtful feedback for each student eats up hours you don't have. Delays in returning feedback mean students lose the chance to learn from mistakes while they're still fresh.

Who it fits

Instructors or teaching teams handling grading across multiple courses.

How it works

  1. Submitted assignments are pulled in from Google Drive.
  2. An AI model reviews each submission and generates a grade with structured, detailed feedback.
  3. The feedback is checked and merged with course records for consistency.
  4. Each student receives their grade and personalized feedback by Gmail, and your team gets a Slack summary.
What you get

Graded assignments ready for your sign-off

Students get a grade and personalized feedback on their assignment delivered straight to their inbox.

What you get

Graded assignments with personalized written feedback delivered to each student, plus a team summary.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Gmail account, a Slack workspace, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
