AI-first platform for K-12 and colleges
Equip every educator
using modern tools.
AI that marks written work against your teachers' own rubrics, takes the register at the door, and flags a cohort slipping behind while there is still time to act.
From $29/month · Creator and admin roles in one organisation · Import from Canvas, Blackboard, D2L or Moodle
AI across your whole department
One layer, from the classroom to the timetable. Your staff keep every judgement call; it takes the hours.
It marks the written work
Marked against each teacher's own rubric, every grade theirs to change. Students get feedback in hours instead of a fortnight.
It takes the register at the door
Attendance recognised by face as a class arrives, so the register is a by-product of the lesson instead of five minutes of it.
It flags the students you are about to lose
Progress and drop-off across every cohort, early enough that somebody can still do something about it.
