Classwise

What Classwise does

Classwise (Classwise AI) is an AI-powered assessment platform built for K-12 and higher education educators, headquartered in Montreal, Canada and closely tied to the McGill University / Dobson Centre startup ecosystem. The platform grades handwritten and digital student submissions against rubrics, generates question-level rubric-aligned feedback, surfaces class-level analytics (most-missed questions, misconceptions, outliers), runs an academic integrity checker across peer similarity, baseline shift, policy mismatch, hallucinated logic, format anomalies, and genericity, and exposes a Socratic Student Tutor grounded in the returned feedback. Underlying the product is multimodal AI spanning text (essays, short answers, multi-step math) and image (photographed or scanned handwritten work), with teacher review as the mandatory control point before any grade is published to students.

The core product surface is delivered as a unified SaaS workspace with native integrations into Google Classroom, Canvas, Microsoft Teams, and Moodle, enabling roster sync, assignment import, submission pull, auto-grade and auto-publish, and gradebook round-tripping. Upcoming modules — AI Lesson Planner, Study Group Builder, and Parent Reporting Tool — extend the platform beyond grading into lesson planning, grouping, and family communication. Compliance posture includes FERPA and COPPA for the School/District tier.

The business model combines a product-led growth motion (freemium-style 14-day trial, no credit card, self-serve individual teacher signup) with enterprise field sales for institutional procurement. Revenue is generated through a three-tier subscription (Starter at $17/month, Pro at $25/month, custom School/District) layered with usage-based credit packs ($5/20, $10/50, $20/120, $40/250 credits) consumed per grading action, completion grade, analytics refresh, or auto-assign run. As of the available data, the company has raised only a $12,000 prize from the 2026 McGill Dobson Cup and participates in NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, DMZ, NEXT AI, and the PS43 Foundation — placing it firmly in an early, founder-led stage with limited disclosed capital.

Core offering

Classwise is an AI-powered assessment platform that grades handwritten and digital student submissions, generates rubric-aligned feedback, and surfaces class-level analytics and academic integrity analysis for K-12 and higher-education educators. The product supports paper-based workflows by letting teachers photograph or scan student work while AI handles grading behind the scenes, integrates directly with Google Classroom, Canvas, Microsoft Teams, and Moodle, and is sold through individual teacher subscriptions and custom school and district plans.

Product overview

Classwise is an AI-powered assessment platform designed for K-12 and higher education. It consists of a unified SaaS platform with a core grading engine augmented by modular AI capabilities. The product portfolio includes: Automated AI Grading (the core engine that grades submissions against rubrics), Rubric Enhancer (AI rubric creation), Student Analytics (class-level performance insights), Academic Integrity Checker (AI integrity analysis, School/District only), Student Tutor (AI-powered feedback follow-up), and LMS Integrations (Google Classroom, Canvas, Microsoft Teams, Moodle). Three upcoming features — AI Lesson Planner, Study Group Builder, and Parent Reporting Tool — are flagged as coming soon. Classwise is sold through three pricing tiers: Starter ($17/mo) for part-time teachers, Pro ($25/mo) for full-time classroom teachers, and a custom School/District plan with centralized billing, compliance features, and admin tools. The platform is designed to keep students working on paper while AI handles grading behind the scenes, with teacher review remaining the control point before any results are shared.

Products and services

• Automated AI Grading Core AI grading engine that processes student submissions against rubrics and answer keys, assigns points, and produces question-level feedback for essays, short answers, and multi-step math across STEM and humanities. Supports both handwritten and digital submissions and keeps a teacher review checkpoint before any results are shared with students.
• Rubric Enhancer AI-powered rubric creation and refinement tool that helps teachers generate clear, consistent grading criteria from scratch or improve existing rubrics, supporting transparent and fair grading expectations across students.
• Student Analytics Class-level analytics dashboard surfacing the most-missed questions, common misconceptions, outliers, and focus areas for re-teaching, generated or refreshed automatically after batch grading to guide instructional decisions.
• Academic Integrity Checker Anomaly and integrity analysis module that examines completed submissions for signals inconsistent with authentic student work (peer similarity, baseline shift, policy mismatch, hallucinated logic, format anomalies, generic polished language) and produces per-student Integrity Reports with risk level, confidence rating, evidence, and suggested teacher conversation guidance.
• Student Tutor Socratic-style AI tutor accessed from a single secure feedback link that helps students understand returned feedback, work through missed concepts, and practice similar problems without requiring a separate student account, scoped to one student, one assignment, and one feedback link.
• LMS Integrations (Google Classroom, Canvas, Microsoft Teams, Moodle) Native LMS connectors that let teachers import classes, sync rosters, pull submissions, and publish grades back to the gradebook across Google Classroom (OAuth), Canvas (access token), Microsoft Teams (OAuth with 5-10 minute polling cycle), and Moodle (token-based).
