About Pensive
Pensive is an AI grading platform that helps instructors grade an entire class in minutes instead of hours. Given a rubric, Pensive AI grades student submissions and assigns a confidence score to each grade, so teachers can skip manual review on grades that meet human-level accuracy and focus their time only where it's needed — finishing grading up to 10x faster. Beyond scoring, Pensive generates personalised student feedback (which instructors can review, edit, and release), drafts rubrics for assignments, and checks essays for citation and grammar issues. As teachers correct grades, rubrics, and feedback, the system learns their grading style for more consistent scoring across the course. Pensive includes a dedicated AI essay grader with adaptive scoring and a browser extension for grading workflows. It is used by instructors across leading universities including UC Berkeley and Columbia, and offers a school-facing version for K-12 institutions.
