AI tools for
higher ed.

Purpose-built by faculty, for faculty. Not another generic AI product — real tools that respect your classroom, your students, and your data.

The reality

Grading takes forever. Generic AI leaks student data. Faculty deserve better.

You spend 5–10 minutes per submission. Multiply that across sections. Meanwhile, the AI tools available either violate FERPA, require sending student work to third-party servers, or simply don’t understand pedagogy.

Introducing Ash

Grade 80% faster and better.
Privately on your own computer.

Ash is an AI grading assistant that runs locally. No student data leaves your machine. Tailored to your rubric, your class, your standards — with you in complete control.

Speed

Minutes, not hours

15 seconds per submission. A quick review from you, and you’re done.

Privacy

FERPA-friendly

Runs on your computer. Student data never touches a third-party server.

Fairness

Less bias

Evaluates ideas and concept mastery — not presentation style, handwriting, or formatting.

Pedagogy

Better feedback

Students can submit drafts for instant guidance before final submission. Real learning loops.

Built by a professor

I built Ash because I needed it.

I’m a lecturer at the University of Tennessee, teaching entrepreneurship. I’ve used Ash on hundreds of student submissions across multiple semesters. It changed how I teach — and I want to share it with other faculty who feel the same pain.

Whether you’re interested in Ash, thinking about AI in your classroom, or just want to compare notes — I’d love to hear from you. No pitch, just a conversation between colleagues.
