Students can then take a photo to upload written work, or upload digital work.

Built on the most effective evidence-based feedback strategies, it turns assessment into meaningful progress . Teachers can export to a file or print.

We know what it’s like: late nights marking, trying to give meaningful feedback, and wondering if it’s making a difference. Redpen AI was created by teachers who’ve been there. We designed it to ease the pressure and give you back time, without compromising on quality.
For Schools
We run pilots almost every week, which involves the team coming out to your school for free, and helping your teachers get setup and make the most of our product.
