About Octopodi
Octopodi is an AI-assisted code grading platform built by professors who teach coding courses, designed to save higher education instructors hours of manual review time without replacing instructor judgment. Coding courses present a unique grading challenge — instructors must review repetitive code patterns, check formatting, and identify common mistakes across large class sets, all while maintaining consistency and providing meaningful feedback. Octopodi addresses this by scanning uploaded student code assignments against course learning outcomes, identifying patterns and surfacing issues so instructors can review insights and grade with confidence rather than starting from scratch on every submission. The workflow is straightforward: upload student code assignments, run a scan that maps submissions against learning outcomes, and then review AI-generated insights before finalising grades. The platform keeps human educators in control throughout — acting as a grading assistant rather than an autonomous grader. Octopodi is currently in a pilot programme and has received recognition from academic and startup partners. It is particularly well-suited to introductory programming courses and any higher education course where large cohorts submit code-based assessments.
