AI Essay Grader That Scores Against Your Rubric

Grading essays is the slowest marking there is, because each one needs reading and judgement. Proctor AI is an AI essay grader that reads each essay, scores it against your rubric, and drafts feedback that points to specific strengths and gaps, with you approving every mark.

It grades handwritten essays as well as typed ones, so it works for exam scripts and assignments alike.

How the essay grader works

  1. Define the rubric: Attach your rubric or describe the criteria and weightings you want applied.
  2. Upload the essays: Add handwritten or typed essays for the whole class.
  3. Score each criterion: The agent reads each essay and scores it criterion by criterion, not just a single number.
  4. Draft feedback: It writes comments tied to specific lines and arguments in the answer.
  5. Review and approve: You adjust anything and approve the final grade.

Consistent marking across the class

Human marking drifts over a long stack of essays, and standards differ between markers. An AI essay grader applies the same rubric to the first essay and the hundredth, so grading stays consistent and you can spot-check rather than re-mark.
