Grade your students' answers in minutes, with a reason for every grade.
Gradally reads students' typed answers, grades them against the model answer the teacher set, and shows the teacher the reason behind every grade.
No grade reaches a student before you approve it, and the reasons stay with the teacher.

GRADES TYPED ANSWERS IN SUBJECTS LIKE
One tool that makes life easier for the teacher, the platform's management and its tech team.
Write the model answer once.
- Every student is graded by the same standard.
- You see the reason behind each grade and can change it in seconds.
- No pile of papers waiting at the end of the day.
One view of every class.
- Every exam's results in one place, per student and per question.
- One standard across teachers and classes.
- Grades are released only when the platform decides.
Grades land inside your platform.
- Connect in a day, or let us handle it with no development on your side.
- Every grade reaches your teachers with its reason.
- You decide when students see them.
Three steps. Only the first one needs you.
Add the questions and model answers
Upload the exam paper or type the questions. Gradally suggests the model answers and you review and approve them.
Students answer as usual
On your platform or app, with nothing changing for the student.
Grades reach the teacher with their reasons
Every answer is graded by the same standard, and the teacher sees the sentence that earned each grade.
A whole class in minutes.
The same standard for every student, and the hours you used to spend grading go back to teaching.
From one class to a whole platform, at the same pace.
One Gradally server keeps up with a busy exam season. These are our estimates from measured runs, rounded down.
Estimates for one server, taken from our own measured runs (about 40 answers per second in the latest study) and rounded down; more servers add capacity. Actual throughput depends on answer length and on how many answers need the deeper layers, and we size it for your platform before you go live.
Gradally fits the way you already teach.
Grades the teacher can read
Each part of the model answer is checked on its own, and the teacher sees what the student got, missed, or wrote unclearly. This detail is for the teacher only; students never see it.
See the whole class at a glance
Which questions were hardest, who needs help, and what still needs review, while the grading runs.
Every typed question type
Short answers, one-line answers, numbers and multiple choice, in Arabic and English.
Change once, and it applies to everyone
If you edit the model answer after grading, every affected answer is re-graded automatically, the same way.
Straight answers.
No. The teacher writes and approves the model answer once; grading then runs automatically, and the teacher can review or change any grade at any time.
No. The reasons are shown to the teacher and the platform's management only; the student sees nothing but the grade you decide to release.
It says so. An answer it cannot grade with confidence is flagged “needs review” for the teacher to decide, and is never turned into a zero.
Only when you decide. Grades stay hidden until your team releases them, so your current grades are untouched while you compare.
We never ask for student names, phone numbers or e-mails. All we receive is the answer text and a reference number that reveals nothing about the student.
Start with one exam.
Send us one exam with its model answers. You get it back graded, with the reason behind every grade.

Solutions to the grading problems every platform knows.
Gradally was designed by people who have graded exams by hand. Each block on this page shows one problem and how Gradally solves it.
How it works, in short
You approve the model answer, students answer as usual, grades reach the teacher with their reasons, and nothing is released to students until you decide.
More than grading, in one place.
Grading is only the start. These are the problems platforms bring us, and what Gradally offers to solve them.
Grade a whole class in minutes, and know the reason behind every grade.
Short answers, one-line answers, numbers and multiple choice, in Arabic and English, all graded against the teacher's model answer.
The same grade for the same answer, whoever grades it and whenever.
One approved model answer is applied to every student in every class, and if you edit it everyone is re-graded the same way.
Know where your students struggle while the grading runs.
Results per question and per student, a list of answers that need review, and the grading status moment by moment.
Nothing reaches a student until you release it.
Grades stay hidden while you compare them with your own; you can change any grade, and every change is recorded.
Cheaper than sending every answer to an AI, and far cheaper than a full grading team.
Simple answers are settled by rules that cost nothing; models are used only where needed, with a spending cap on every exam.
Estimates you can adjust. Direct AI: every answer sent with its question and model answer to a large model at current list prices. Gradally: the default is rounded up from what our real runs have cost so far.
Your students' data stays with you.
Gradally never needs a student's name, phone or e-mail; all it receives is the answer text and a reference number that reveals nothing about the student.
Works with the platform you already use.
Connect with no development at all, within one working day, or through a full developer interface. Your choice.

From the exam paper to a grade with a reason.
Follow one answer step by step, learn the question types, and see how harder answers are handled.
One answer in four steps.
Every typed question, graded the right way for its type.
A word or a number
One-line answers, numbers with units and an accepted tolerance, multiple choice. Matched directly, no guessing.
An answer with several parts
Two or three things the student must mention; each is found and graded on its own, in any order and any wording.
Reason and result
A part only counts when the part it depends on is right; comparisons, causes and explanations are handled this way.
When it is not sure, it tells you
Every exam has a few answers written in a way no rule can settle. They are left for the teacher instead of being guessed, and the teacher's decision is remembered for similar answers.
Changed your mind? One edit is enough
Edit the model answer and every affected answer is re-graded the same way, with the old grades kept on record.
Five decision layers, starting with the cheapest.
We do not send every answer to an AI. An answer passes through several layers; each settles what it can with confidence and hands the rest to the next, so the expensive model only sees what the cheaper layers could not settle.
The width of each layer is the share of answers that still reach it, and the ticks beside it are what it settles: most answers are settled in the free layers. The exact shares vary by subject and question.
A cycle that makes grading cheaper week after week.
In every grading cycle, grades that two independent sources agreed on become training examples for that question's classifier, so next time it settles more answers without calling any model. It never learns from a single guess or a fallback grade, and it is not trusted before passing a test on answers it has never seen. Teacher decisions on answers that need review are remembered, and editing the model answer re-grades everything it affects.

Everything your developers need, on one page.
Privacy by design
We never ask for names, phones or e-mails, only the answer text and a reference that reveals no identity.
Nothing gets lost
Every answer gets a receipt and every grade a version; if anything is lost, it is sent again.
Your switch to publish
Grades stay hidden from students until your team turns publication on.
