AI Writing Feedback That Learns Your Rubric and Your Voice
Upload student essays, drafts, lab reports or research papers. The assistant scores each rubric criterion, drafts personalized feedback and returns the stack in minutes. You review every grade before students see it. The assistant handles the first pass. You make the final call.
Most AI writing feedback tools give every student the same response. EnlightenAI learns your grading rubric, adapts to your voice, and returns individualized, actionable feedback for grades 3-12 academic writing.

Not a generic AI grading tool. A grading assistant calibrated to your class.
Every AI grader for teachers on the market applies the same model to every rubric. EnlightenAI is the AI grading tool that actually learns how you grade, adapting to your scoring decisions through the first five submissions.
In a study with DREAM Charter Schools, EnlightenAI scored 0.77 QWK with the teacher who trained it, higher than teacher-to-teacher consistency on the same scoring guide. That is not just automation. That is a grading assistant that knows your class.
And every grade still goes through you. As the assistant grades, it adapts to match:
Your grading scale and what each score threshold means to you
Your interpretation of each rubric criterion, not a generic definition
Your feedback style, including tone, examples, and level of detail
Aligned to major writing standards and exams
