Litero.ai, an education technology company developing AI learning solutions, today announced the beta launch of Grader for Teachers, an AI-based platform designed to help teachers assess student writing efficiently and consistently.

Grader for Teachers Launch Overview

Developed to address growing workloads in higher and secondary education, Grader for Teachers allows educators to upload essays in multiple formats, apply custom grading rubrics, and receive structured, multi-criteria assessments within minutes. Additionally, the platform includes plagiarism detection, AI-text recognition, and progress tracking tools. These features promote transparency and maintain academic integrity.

Recently, Litero.ai benchmarked Grader for Teachers using five large language models, including GPT-5, Gemini 2.5, and Claude 4, across 60 student essays. The AI-generated scores were compared to human grades on a 4.3 Grade Point Average (GPA) scale, the standard measure used by U.S. universities (where an “A” equals 4.0 and a “B” equals 3.0).

Accurate AI-Based Assessment

The results showed that the system maintained an average difference of 0.2 grade points from teacher-assigned scores, with minimal variation (0.142 standard deviation) across repeated tests. Each report also included rubric-based scoring, written feedback, and recommendations for improvement.

“Educators worldwide are managing growing administrative demands alongside teaching,” said Alexey Pokatilo, CEO of Litero.ai. “With Grader for Teachers, we aim to provide a reliable tool that maintains academic standards while reducing the time spent on routine evaluation.”

Key Features and Capabilities

Grader for Teachers offers:

  • Customizable grading rubrics for different subjects and academic levels
  • Multi-criteria evaluation for holistic assessment
  • Plagiarism and AI-generated text detection
  • Clear, structured feedback to support student learning
  • Progress tracking dashboards for long-term performance insights

Together, these features simplify grading, ensure fairness, and give educators actionable insights for supporting students.

Beta Program and Early Access

The beta program is now open to the first 1,000 educators worldwide. Participants will gain early access and provide feedback to guide the platform’s next iteration.
