Your AI-powered partner for assessing English Writing

Super-granular diagnosis & more time to act on it.

We’ve developed an AI feedback system for KS2-3 writing that thinks like a teacher. It reliably captures the detail, not just the summary, so teachers and leaders can make informed decisions about what to teach next, and to whom.

Human-centric workflow

On paper

Too often, implementing AI means more time in front of screens. Our process is optimised for paper: students write by hand, teachers scan their work via the document tray of the photocopier, and you get back paper-based feedback reports

Teacher-improved accuracy

With rigour

We mapped every micro-decision in the assessment of English writing, so teachers can see exactly where successes and errors are occurring. Our team of markers continuously improve our AI output. Nothing is deployed until it is being marked as accurately as a human.

Unlimited marking

More practice

Even the most accurate and efficient teacher is a blocker to students receiving marked writing practice. Instead, unlimited student writing can contribute cumulatively to understanding their strengths & weaknesses.

Traditional workflow, modernised: AI support with a paper interface

How students learn hasn’t changed, so why change the way students learn? Our approach keeps students using a pen and paper: here’s how it works.

Pupils write by hand, as usual

Output to transform your teaching, not interrupt it
