Example

Example workflow

A realistic scenario showing task, time, and outcome.

Scenario: A university course needs 20 peer reviews for a term paper. The AI agent receives the submission via webhook, auto-assigns reviewers, and generates rubrics. Reviewers are notified on Slack and complete feedback within 48 hours. The agent calculates scores, stores results, and emails a detailed report to the instructor within 1 hour, with a dashboard update.

FAQ

FAQ

Common concerns with practical, detailed answers.

The AI agent stores submission data, reviewer feedback, rubric criteria, scores, and audit logs in your configured storage. Access is controlled by workspace permissions, and data can be encrypted at rest and in transit. You can set retention policies to prune data after a defined period. The system adheres to your organization’s data governance rules and compliance requirements. If needed, data export options are available for auditing and reporting.

Yes. Rubrics are configurable via prompts and settings, allowing you to adjust criteria, weights, and scoring scales. You can create multiple rubric templates for different courses or assessment types. The agent can enforce consistency across sections by applying the same rubric structure. Changes to rubrics apply to new reviews automatically while preserving historical scores.

Absolutely. You can configure multi-round review workflows with optional re-assessment stages. The AI agent can reassign reviewers for subsequent rounds, regenerate rubrics if needed, and recalculate scores accordingly. Notifications and dashboards update in real time to reflect progress across rounds. This helps ensure iterative improvement and fairness across evaluations.

Integration with an LMS is possible through available APIs or LTI-compatible connectors. The AI agent can pull course rosters, push assignment results, and align rubrics with course outcomes. If your LMS is not directly supported, you can leverage webhooks and the analytics dashboard to synchronize data. Security and access controls remain centralized within your workspace.

Scores are computed using the configured rubric criteria, with weights and scoring scales applied consistently. The agent can return both numeric scores and qualitative assessments. You can choose average, weighted averages, or rubric-specific scoring rules. All scoring is stored with timestamps and audit trails for transparency.

If a reviewer misses a deadline, the AI agent can reassign the task to another reviewer or escalate to the instructor. Reminders are sent automatically via Slack or email. The system maintains a record of reassignment and reviewer activity for accountability. You can configure fallback rules to minimize delays in grading cycles.

Yes, the agent supports several languages depending on the AI model configuration. You can specify language preferences for rubrics and feedback prompts. If a translation is needed, the agent can route content to language-specific rubrics while preserving grading standards. You can test and tune language behavior per course or department.
