37 hours given back to educators — and counting.

How Humans But Guided helps teachers deliver precise, individualized feedback without burning out.

By the numbers

67% of all papers received precise, evidence-backed feedback grounded in the student's actual work.

March 2026 highlight

87 papers were graded in March 2026 alone. Of those, 89 direct quotation checks were completed — meaning nearly every paper received individualized, evidence-backed feedback rather than generic comments.

The time math

Without HBG, grading a single paper takes roughly 15 minutes — reading the submission, reviewing it, and writing a personalized feedback letter.

With HBG, that same paper takes ~7 minutes:

• AI generates a draft feedback letter in 1 minute
• The course assistant or instructor skims the paper, reviews the draft, grades, and finalizes in ~6 minutes

That's 8 minutes saved per paper.

8 minutes × 281 submissions = ~37 hours returned to the educators who needed them most.

What this means for students

Faster grading doesn't mean shallower feedback. Every analysis is rubric-aligned, and each direct quotation check grounds the feedback in the student's actual work — not boilerplate. Students receive feedback that references what they actually wrote.

For course assistants and teaching assistants managing large cohorts, HBG means the difference between a two-sentence comment and a real coaching moment.
