Grade the whole stack before your coffee gets cold.
GradeBud reads handwritten essays, typed PDFs, quizzes and problem sets — scores them against your rubric, drafts margin feedback in your voice, and flags AI-written work. You approve every grade.

Everything you'd do by hand — in one pass.
Not a generic chatbot. GradeBud grades the way you already grade.
Grades against your rubric
Paste or build a rubric once. Every paper is scored criterion by criterion — not against some invisible average.
Margin feedback in your voice
Inline comments on the exact sentence — warm, specific, and tuned to the tone you set. Edit any of them in a click.
Integrity checks built in
Plagiarism matches and AI-writing likelihood surface right beside the grade, so nothing slips past you.
Batch a whole class
Drop in 30 photos or a stack of PDFs. GradeBud splits, matches names, and grades the set while you do something else.
Three steps from stack to returned.
Upload the set
Photos, scans or PDFs — one paper or the whole class at once.
AI drafts the grades
Rubric scores, a justification, margin notes and integrity flags for each paper.
You review & return
Adjust anything, approve, and send grades back — you always have the final say.
No grade without a reason.
Each paper comes with a suggested grade and the justification behind it, mapped to your rubric. Disagree? Override in one field and GradeBud learns your preference.
