Overview
GradeWiz is an AI teaching assistant that automates the grading of student work. It aims to solve what its founders see as the biggest bottleneck in education: grading consumes instructor and TA time that could go to teaching, while students rarely receive enough feedback. By automating paper and assignment grading, GradeWiz frees teaching staff to focus on direct instruction and helps students get faster, more detailed feedback on their work.
Company
GradeWiz went through Y Combinator's W25 batch and is based in San Francisco. It was founded by Cornell students Max Bohun and Aman Garg. The company is early-stage, having raised initial funding alongside its YC participation, and was featured among TechCrunch's startups to watch from YC's W25 Demo Day for its focus on automating grading workflows for teaching assistants and instructors.
