Real time back, real results
BrightNote gave me my Sundays back. I grade a full class set in the time it used to take to mark five papers — and the feedback is better than what I could write by hand.
For the first time we can see competency gaps across the whole school in real time. Our reporting to the ministry went from a two-week scramble to an afternoon.
Parents finally understand the reports. The feedback is specific and kind, and our students actually act on it. Comprehension scores are up across the board.
Questions, answered
Everything schools ask before they switch on AI assessment.
You define your marking rubric once. BrightNote's AI reads each submission — handwritten, PDF, or typed — and applies the rubric consistently across the whole class, flagging edge cases for teacher review.
We take the protection of student data seriously. Information is encrypted in transit, access is role-controlled, and your school retains ownership of its content. We use trusted third-party providers to operate the platform, and we never sell your personal data.
BrightNote maps outcomes to national curriculum standards and 100+ competencies. If your framework isn't listed yet, our team will configure it during onboarding.
For structured and rubric-based questions BrightNote matches expert markers closely, and every result is reviewable. Teachers always have the final say before anything is published.
Most schools are grading their first real assessment within a day. Onboarding includes curriculum configuration, teacher training, and a dedicated success contact.
