GradeWiz, an artificial-intelligence teaching assistant founded by Cornell undergraduates Max Bohun ’25 and Aman Garg ’25, has been accepted into startup accelerator Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 Batch.
GradeWiz uses AI and computer vision to grade homework and exams, giving educators more time, the founders say, to devote to teaching.
The team is now working with educators at Cornell, California Polytechnic State University, Hunter College, Pennsylvania State University and Syracuse University to pilot their grading technology.
For more than two years, Bohun and Garg developed GradeWiz, which they say gives students more feedback in less time while maintaining instructor involvement. GradeWiz participated in the 2024 cohort of the eLab student startup accelerator, one of the most competitive years to date.
