Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI grade personal narrative essays that include real events?
Yes. The AI grades the writing craft — how the story is told — not the content of what happened. Student privacy is protected; real names and sensitive details are not stored.
What's the difference between narrative and creative writing grading?
Narrative essays follow a story arc with specific events and character. Creative writing is broader — it includes poetry, experimental forms, and fiction without requiring a traditional narrative arc. Choose the type that matches your assignment.
