AI Essay Grader

Every essay is graded against the rubric you provide, not a fixed template. You can build categories with their own weights, like organization at 25% and content at 35%, or import an existing rubric from a PDF, Word file, spreadsheet, or plain text. The result is a score per category plus an overall mark, so students see where the points came from instead of a single number.

If you do not already have a rubric, the builder walks you through creating one. You set the criteria, the weight of each, and the performance levels. Rubrics can be shared across a department on the higher tiers, which keeps grading aligned when several teachers cover the same course.

Essays can come in several ways. You can upload PDF or Word files, paste text straight into the tool, or photograph handwritten work and let the built-in OCR turn it into text. For a whole class, bulk uploading lets you select a batch and grade it in one pass rather than one paper at a time.

On the paid plans, GraderAI connects to Google Classroom and Canvas. Rosters and assignments import in a click, and grades can be pushed back to your gradebook. For teachers already running their course in an LMS, this removes the copy-paste step that otherwise eats the time the tool was supposed to save.

Alongside the grade, the tool reports whether a paper looks machine-written and gives a confidence score with the signals behind it, such as even sentence structure and limited vocabulary range. It is a flag to look closer, not proof, and the final call stays with you.

Every graded essay feeds a dashboard that shows grade distribution, performance trends over time, class comparisons, and common writing issues. These views are what a department or an IEP meeting tends to ask for, and they come from the work you were already doing rather than a separate reporting task.
