What Our Beta Testers Said
Real feedback from UK students
“Got a 2:1 when I was expecting a 2:2. The feedback was spot-on.”
“Way better than asking ChatGPT to grade my essay. Actually helpful.”
“Used it the night before submission. Caught 3 major issues. Lifesaver.”

Built for students worldwide — supports UK, US, and international marking conventions and grade classifications.
Actionable Feedback
Specific suggestions with mark impact: "Adding X could gain 4–5 marks." No vague waffle.
Anxiety-Reducing
Know what to expect before you submit. No more sleepless nights wondering "is this good enough?"
🛡️ Complete Privacy
Essays are processed and immediately discarded. We store only the feedback report. Your work stays yours.
Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is free. But it doesn't understand your assignment.
ChatGPT doesn't know YOUR rubric
ChatGPT gives generic feedback. PaperYak grades against your exact assignment criteria — criterion by criterion.
ChatGPT can't predict your grade
ChatGPT might say "this is good." PaperYak tells you "This is a 65. With these 3 changes, it's a 72."
ChatGPT doesn't understand academic marking
Our AI is trained on UK & US university marking systems. ChatGPT treats a dissertation like a blog post.
