Assessly - An AI Powered Teaching Assistant Tool for Educators World Wide

The Challenge / Problem Statement:

Teachers are the backbone of education, yet they’re drowning in paperwork. Grading stacks of assignments, crafting tests, and giving personalized feedback in overcrowded classrooms leaves little time for actual teaching. This burnout cycle affects not just educators’ well-being but also student growth, as learners miss timely guidance. In resource-strapped environments, the problem intensifies—how can teachers focus on nurturing minds when buried under administrative tasks?
