Purpose
Reduce repetitive grading effort while improving consistency, transparency, and feedback quality for students.
Early access
Smarter feedback. Better learning.
AI-assisted feedback for programming courses
aiDACTO is a platform for programming courses. It helps lectors manage students and assignments, coordinate school-based cohorts, and analyze student repository submissions with AI-assisted feedback.
Target users
Lectors, school admins, and institutions running programming classes with structured assignment workflows.
What makes it different
Feedback is grounded in your own rubrics and test cases, and you stay in control: AI findings are suggestions you review before anything reaches your students.

Roadmap
What's coming next:

The roadmap reflects current plans and may change. Early testers help us decide what comes first.
