AI feedback tool for writing assignments. Eduface is built to help teachers grade and give feedback up to three times quicker. It supports various academic workflows, including thesis writing, papers, essays, portfolios, and reflective writing — tailored per discipline.
Eduface has made their own didactic AI model trained specifically to give detailed feedback in the areas:
Supports the formative feedback cycle from draft to final submission, helping educators deliver consistent, effective, and time-saving comments across every stage of student writing. Over 5.000 students have already received feedback.
Feedback given on three levels:

Most institutions are not asking whether AI will be used in assessment. They are asking how to ensure it is used responsibly.
Eduface was built specifically for that question. Institutions choose how much human oversight they want: feedback can go to students instantly, or only after the lecturer reviews and approves it. The AI assists. The academic decides.
Setting up Eduface for a course takes three unputs from the lecturer:
Once set up, students submit their assignment as normal. Eduface generates feedback, which can be delivered to the student instantly or after the lecturer reviews and approves it. Grades and feedback sync back automatically to the LMS/VLE.
Eduface supports both modes of assessment:
Formative — feedback during the learning process
Summative — consistent grading at scale
The AI model is a stand alone model, so not an API from OpenAI, Anthropic or other foundation models. Eduface created a database of academic papers, peer reviewed articles and publications that have trained the model on industry specific knowledge.
Besides industry specific knowledge Eduface is trained to give feedback and grade just as real professors and teaching assistants would do. The model knows all the relevant scientifi c papers about how to structure feedback most effectively to students to create the optimal learning experience. From the ground up the model is built on educational research from leading journals in pedagogy and learning science. Its feedback approach is grounded in evidence on how students best learn from formative feedback.”
Eduface is designed to ensure that the professional role of the educator is always maintained. Institutions choose how much oversight they apply: feedback can reach students instantly or only after lecturer approval.
Purpose-built model trained on 250,000 education-specific feedback examples
Student data is never sent to third party AI providers
UK GDPR compliant, data is never used to train external models
AI Act compliant audit trail for all summative assessments
Eduface has chosen to keep its model small, which means it can also run within an institution's own infrastructure if preferred. This also results in a significantly lower energy footprint per assessment compared to large general purpose AI models.
Eduface is designed with data protection and responsible AI at its core. All documents uploaded are never used to train the AI model — they are processed securely and privately, with full control remaining in the hands of educators.
The platform is fully UK GDPR-compliant and built to meet the highest standards of data security in education. Eduface runs on a proprietary AI model, with no reliance on third-party services like OpenAI or Anthropic — ensuring that data is processed within a tightly controlled, secure environment.
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, and strict access controls are in place. Institutions retain full visibility and control over how their data is handled.
Above all, Eduface is a tool for human-led teaching. The teacher is always in charge. Feedback suggestions can be reviewed, edited, and approved. Every feedback suggestion is traceable with explainable AI and editable, offering full transparency and control to educators. Eduface enhances your teaching, not replaces it.
