What Edexia does

Edexia is an AI Teacher Assistant for grading essays. It can be trained and controlled by the teacher and can grade assignments from any curriculum, year level, subject, or format. Learning like a teacher, Edexia visually breaks down its understanding of the rubric, and updates this as a teacher corrects it. Our vision is to transform education by facilitating AI’s safe and effective integration across all institutions and applications. Not using AI to replace teachers but rather to empower them - providing them with all the time and resources they need to develop their students.

AI Teacher Assistant for Grading Essays

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Edexia to help teachers grade essays through an AI assistant they can train and control. It works across different curricula, subjects, and essay formats, learning like a teacher by visually breaking down rubric criteria and adjusting as teachers provide corrections.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and ecosystem we need to build and scale AI products for education. It allows us to stay close to technical resources and potential education partners.
