About GradeAnt

Our mission is to empower educators with intelligent tools that save time and improve student outcomes.

Our Story

GradeAnt began in 2024 when a group of educators and technologists came together with a shared vision: to solve one of education's most persistent challenges - the grading bottleneck.

After spending countless late nights grading papers, our founders realized there had to be a better way. They set out to build an AI-powered grading assistant that could understand nuanced responses while maintaining the human touch that makes feedback valuable.

Today, GradeAnt helps thousands of educators across the globe reclaim their time while providing more consistent, thoughtful feedback to their students.
