Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI grade creative writing without a rubric?
Without a rubric, the AI evaluates craft elements: originality, imagery, voice, structure, and how intentionally the writing uses its chosen form. All feedback is growth-oriented and encouraging — especially for younger writers.
Can I grade poetry with the essay grader?
Yes. Select 'Creative' as your essay type and note in your prompt that the piece is a poem. The AI calibrates feedback to poetic craft (imagery, line breaks, sound, form) rather than prose essay expectations.
