BusyBee AI grading assistant announced it has graded more than 2 million student submissions
BusyBee’s assistant was built using Amazon Bedrock and offers student instant feedback aligned to their teacher’s rubric.
As use of the platform is increasing, BusyBee says more than half of its AI-generated comments are now approved by teachers without any edits, with the percentage of accepted comments increasing from 41 percent to 59 percent in the past seven months.
"This is the kind of impact we want AI to have in classrooms," comments Curt Allen, CEO at Agilix Labs. "Millions of assignments graded, thousands of teachers supported, and students finally getting the timely feedback they need to grow."
BusyBee says its platform is saving up to 80 percent of the teacher time usually spent on grading without sacrificing feedback quality, allowing them to focus more of their time on planning, small-group interactions, and one-on-one support for students.
The update follows shortly after Litero.ai, an edtech specialist, announced the launch of Grader for Teachers, an AI-powered platform capable of dramatically reducing grading time for teachers. Grader for Teachers allows educators to upload student essays in multiple formats, add customizable grading rubrics, and receive grading to a human standard within minutes.
