The Better Writing Loop

One loop. Better writing every time.

Step 1
Evaluate

Submit any essay. The AI evaluates it against the real rubric for your exam — NAPLAN, Selective, HSC, VCE, or general curriculum. Every criterion scored out of 10.

Step 2
Feedback

Get specific, sentence-level feedback on exactly what's weak and why. Not generic tips — a detailed breakdown of every criterion with strengths, weaknesses, and concrete next steps.

Step 3
Personalised Lesson

One click generates a lesson targeting your weakest criterion — using your own essay sentences as exercises. Not generic theory. Your actual writing, turned into a learning activity.

Step 4
Timed Practice

Complete the lesson exercises and targeted practice tasks. Build the specific skill that's holding your score back before touching the essay again.

Step 5
Evaluate Again

Revise the essay with your new skill, re-submit, and see the score change. Track improvement across every attempt. Repeat the loop until it sticks.

Our philosophy

Here's what we believe

Every student deserves timely, structured feedback. Every teacher deserves tools that turn marking into teaching, not just assessment.

What this is

  • Rubric-based feedback for students and teachers
  • Sentence-level guidance to improve drafts
  • Progress tracking over time

What this is not

  • A shortcut to write for students
  • A replacement for teacher judgement
  • A high-stakes exam grading system

We prefer precise claims over hype. See exactly how rubric scoring and scaling are explained in How Scoring Works.

Use more varied and descriptive vocabulary instead of repeating casual phrases.

Strengths

  • Ideas generally organised in clear paragraphs

Improvement Plan
