Our Story

Making Education Better for Teachers and Students

Acad AI started with one question: why does a teacher spend their entire weekend marking, when their students wait days for feedback they barely remember asking for?

We began as a grading tool for one university lecturer. Today, we're a full assessment platform β€” for institutions, educators, and students β€” built and shipped from Africa, for the world.

Our journey is just beginning. The future of learning is personal, instant, and fair. We're here to build it.

Our Values

What we hold sacred.

Customer First

Teachers, students, and learning institutions are our north star.

Transparency

We're open about what we do and why we do it. You have a right to know how it all works.

Respect

Respect is about safeguarding what matters. Your data is safe with us; we value your trust, and we treat each user with the care they deserve.

Ownership

You can count on us to deliver, support you, and make your experience smooth. We stand behind every feature and every promise.

Excellence

We don't settle for "good enough." Our mission demands we push for high quality, because students' futures depend on it.

Speed with Care

We know that speed is important, and so is your trust in us. You can count on us to handle all grades and every piece of feedback with care.

Fairness

Fairness is at the heart of Acad AI, from the way assessments are graded to how feedback is given and progress is tracked.
