What makes it different
Built for the way you grade — not the way an LLM thinks.
Your language, locked in.
ChatGPT will rewrite your rubric on the fly. AutoMark won't. Every score and every comment refers back to the criteria you wrote — verbatim — so students get feedback in the words you've been teaching with all year.
- Score levels match your rubric exactly — no paraphrasing
- Comments cite the criterion they connect to
- Edit the rubric once and re-run; everything updates

- 4 — Strong. Cites at least two relevant pieces of text evidence and explains how each supports the claim.
- 3 — Developing. Cites evidence but explanations occasionally drift from the claim.
- 2 — Emerging. …
Plugs into the LMS you already use.
Pull rosters and assignments. Push grades and comments back. No re-uploading. No copy-pasting.
- Canvas, Google Classroom, and Brightspace
- Rosters stay in sync automatically
- Grades + inline comments flow back to the gradebook
