EduGrade AI

EduGrade are developing AI-assisted marking with full human oversight. The tool can already reduce marking time by 60%, so students get consistent feedback faster and educators are free to focus on teaching.

Founded by Dr Deepshikha, EduGrade AI is a pre-spinout which has attracted recognition and support from Google’s Higher Education Faculty AI Fellowship, OpenAI’s Professors Teaching with AI series, Queen Mary’s President and Principal’s prize for Educational Excellence, Innovate UK’s ICURe programme, MassChallenge UK, Microsoft for Startups and Google for Startups Cloud.

Designed for schools, colleges, and universities of all sizes, EduGrade AI gives educators their time back without taking their judgement away.

The human educator remains fully in control. The educator sets the assessment brief and marking criteria; the AI drafts feedback in line with the educator’s criteria; and then the educator reviews, edits, and moderates the feedback.

EduGrade AI emerged directly from the founder’s practical experience as an educator, faced with the challenge of providing high-quality, timely feedback at scale without removing academic judgement from the assessment process.
