Frequently Asked Questions

Gradino is an AI tool that helps teachers quickly and fairly assess student essays. You upload a text, select a rubric aligned with curriculum standards, and within seconds receive a complete assessment — including grade suggestions, strengths, improvement feedback, and language review. You can then edit and adapt everything based on your professional judgment.

Gradino follows GDPR and uses encryption during both transfer and storage. All data is anonymized before being sent to the AI model, and no student texts are stored after the assessment is completed.

Studies of over 500 essays show that Gradino’s results deviate less than 5% from teachers’ own assessments. We recommend using Gradino’s feedback as a qualified suggestion — you always have the final say.

Manual grading takes time and can be influenced by subjective factors. Gradino provides fast and consistent assessment based on the same criteria every time, freeing up time for meaningful interaction with students.

• Saves time – assessments in seconds instead of hours. • Provides objective and comparable results. • Works for large classes and multiple languages. • Offers clear and constructive student feedback. • Aligned with national curriculum standards.

After reviewing and adjusting the assessment, you can send the feedback directly back to each student’s Google Doc with a single click. Gradino inserts comments into the document — just like standard Google comments. Students see clear strengths, areas for improvement, and suggested revisions. Each student receives feedback in their own Google Doc, without you having to copy, paste, or manage files manually.

Background and vision

Hi! My name is Peter Hellman and I created Gradino.AI to solve a problem many teachers recognise: grading takes time, and there is never enough of it. I wanted to find a way to make the work easier — without taking away the professional judgment that is at the heart of teaching.

Gradino provides fast and consistent assessment suggestions based on national curriculum standards, which you can always adjust and adapt. The goal is simple: to reduce the burden of grading and written feedback, and free up more time for your students.

The tool is a support, not a replacement. You as the teacher always have the final say. Feel free to get in touch if you have ideas or feedback — Gradino is shaped together with the teachers who use it every day.
