Project Story: The Custom Essay Grader
About the Project
The project we are working on is a highly efficient, dependable, and user-friendly tool for grading essays and giving feedback. It was made especially to eliminate the students’ usual problems when using other AI-powered writing assistants.

More often than not, the feedback was very superficial or didn’t concentrate on the specific areas we needed to improve, such as flow or argument strength. It struck us that the best way out was to have the tool built from scratch, specifically quick and truly helpful for students like us.
