Does Vera assign grades automatically?

No. Vera drafts rubric-based feedback comments based on the criteria you give it. You assign the grade. Nothing is submitted or finalized without your approval.

Does Vera require student names or ID numbers?

No. Vera needs the student work (pasted text or a description of it) and your rubric criteria. No student names or ID numbers are required. We recommend removing names before pasting.

Is the first Vera draft free?

Yes. One free draft, no card required. After the free draft, Vera is $19 per month.

What does Vera need to draft feedback?

The student work (pasted as text or described), your rubric or grading criteria, and the grade level or assignment type. Vera uses those inputs to draft structured, specific feedback aligned to your criteria.

AI Grader Teacher Tools

AI tool — drafts only, not a person

A teacher has a stack of 28 essays due Friday. I draft rubric-aligned feedback comments for your review before a single grade goes back to a student.

Draft your first feedback free — no card.

No student names or IDs in these tools — they work without them. FERPA compliance is the teacher's responsibility.

After the free draft, $19/mo. Cancel any time.

Hi. I am Vera. Paste the student work (anonymized), give me your rubric criteria and grade level, and I draft structured feedback comments aligned to each criterion. Specific, not generic. Editable, not final. Ready for you to review before anything goes back to a student.

I draft from the work and your rubric. The grade is yours to assign.

Rubric-based feedback drafted for 28 assignments. You review, adjust, approve. No student sees a grade you did not sign off on.

Rubric-Aligned Comments

Feedback tied to your criteria, not generic praise or stock phrases. Give me your rubric and I use it.

Batch Drafting

Process a stack of assignments in sequence. You review each draft before approving. The feedback queue clears; the grading decisions stay with you.

Improvement Suggestions

I flag specific, actionable next steps for the student based on what the work shows. You keep, cut, or edit what I suggest.

Editable Plain Text

Every feedback draft is plain text, ready to paste into your LMS, your grade book, or a direct response.

Available

I draft the feedback. You approve before any student sees it.

Paste the student work — anonymized or with names removed — and give me your rubric criteria and grade level. Vera drafts structured feedback: one comment per criterion, an overall note, and a next-step suggestion. Specific, aligned, editable.

Nothing goes back to a student until you approve. Vera does not submit grades, does not post to your LMS, does not contact anyone. It drafts and waits. You review, adjust, use.

What I draft. What I do not touch. What I need from you.

What I draft

Rubric-aligned feedback comments based on the criteria you give me. One comment per criterion, an overall summary note, and a specific next-step suggestion for the student. All output is plain text, specific to the work, and editable before you use it.

I can process a batch of assignments in sequence — you review and approve each before moving to the next.

What I do NOT draft or claim

I will not assign a grade. I draft feedback. The grade is yours to give. I can suggest a score based on your rubric, but you review and decide.

I will not submit grades to your LMS. Every draft requires your review and approval before any output goes to a student.

I will not make assumptions about the student. I assess the work you give me against the criteria you give me. I do not invent context about the student.

What I need from you

Twenty-eight essays. Three minutes each to review instead of fifteen to write.

Writing rubric-aligned feedback from scratch takes 10 to 20 minutes per assignment. Vera drafts it in under 2. You spend 3 minutes reviewing, editing, approving instead of 15 writing. For a class set of 28, that is 3.5 hours returned to you. At $19/mo, the math is not close.

A note on data

Vera processes the text you paste and the rubric criteria you provide. Remove student names and ID numbers before pasting work into the tool. We recommend using a student number or initialism if you need to identify the work during a session.

Content you enter is sent to OpenAI to generate the feedback draft. OpenAI's API terms do not allow training on your data. We do not store your session content.

FERPA compliance is your responsibility, not ours. We designed the tool so you never need to enter student PII to use it. Full data practices →
