Formative feedback as the teacher's most powerful teaching tool, without evenings and weekends spent manually writing feedback for every student.
Gradr starts from the teacher's own instructions, assessment criteria and the curriculum. The AI agent suggests feedback for every student, and the teacher reads, edits and approves every comment before it reaches the student.
The teacher sets the guidelines. When the AI is unsure, it asks instead of guessing, and learns from the answers. The tone, what to look for, what to let go and what to pay extra attention to are all up to the teacher.
The AI always starts from the teacher. The teacher decides the structure, what it should focus on and what it should check, and it follows that for every student. Jot down observations in a few keywords, and Gradr turns them into detailed feedback for the student, in the teacher's tone.
Teachers who prefer to write the comments themselves can still get help from the AI along the way, and edit by hand what the AI has already written.
Questions and answers
Gradr's AI Assistant is an AI agent that supports the teacher's formative feedback on written submissions. It reads every student answer and suggests feedback based on the teacher's own instructions, assessment criteria and the curriculum, and the teacher approves every comment before it reaches the student.
Gradr starts from the teacher's own instructions, assessment criteria and the curriculum. The AI in Gradr suggests formative feedback for every student, and the teacher reads, edits and approves every comment before anything is published. No feedback in Gradr reaches a student unless the teacher has actively approved it.
No. Gradr is not automated marking. The teacher creates and holds exams and assignments in Gradr, and the AI suggests comments based on the teacher's own instructions, assessment criteria and the curriculum. The teacher is in charge all the way, and reads, edits and approves every comment before it reaches the student.
No. Gradr never sets grades, scores or summative assessments. Multiple-choice questions are marked deterministically against the teacher's own answer key. Summative assessment is an exercise of public authority and always stays with the teacher; Gradr is built for the formative step before the grade.
Yes. Gradr collects the whole class's answers, suggests individual feedback for each student based on the same criteria, and the teacher approves and hands back the results. The teacher can upload student answers as PDF or DOCX for the whole class at once, or create and hold the exam directly in Gradr and examine in locked mode.
The teacher. The teacher sets the guidelines: the tone, what the AI should look for, what it can let go and what it should pay extra attention to. When the AI is unsure, it asks the teacher instead of guessing, and it learns from the answers.
Factual comments, grammar, reasoning, affirming feedback, structure, source evaluation and next steps, always tied to that student's own text. The teacher approves, edits or removes every suggestion.
Yes. Teachers who prefer to write the comments themselves can get help from the AI along the way and edit by hand what the AI has already written. The teacher can also jot down observations in a few keywords, and Gradr turns them into detailed feedback in the teacher's tone.
No. Student and user data may never be used to train AI models. AI processing happens within the EU, in Microsoft Azure OpenAI (EU Data Zone), and an AI request for feedback contains no identifying information about the student.
“The AI is impressively detailed and close to how I would assess it myself. It frees up time for me to focus on deeper pedagogical work.”
Alexander CarléEnglish teacher, KMS Kullaviks Montessoriskola“I'd say I save maybe half the time. But then the students might also get ten comments instead of five.”
Dominic StrandqvistInternationella Engelska Skolan, Kungsbacka“It's very rewarding to spend less time writing formative feedback — because now I can be more present in what the students are actually doing and give the individual support I want to give.”
