Question 1

What is MarkMate?

Accepted Answer

MarkMate is an AI-powered assignment feedback tool for Australian teachers, students, and parents. It analyses student work against a rubric and provides detailed feedback including grades, writing coaching, vocabulary suggestions, and annotations, all powered by premium AI.

Question 2

How does MarkMate work?

Accepted Answer

Teachers upload a task notification (with rubric), and MarkMate creates a shareable link. Students paste text, upload a Word/PDF, or take a photo of handwritten work using that link and get instant feedback. Teachers can also upload student work directly to mark it themselves.

MarkMate supports 30+ subjects across all Australian KLAs: HSIE (History, Geography, Business Studies, Legal Studies), English (Standard, Advanced, Extension 1, Studies), Mathematics (Standard, Advanced, Extension 1 & 2, Years 7–10), Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), PDHPE, Creative Arts, and TAS.

Question 4

Is MarkMate free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan includes 2 assignments per month and 10 student checks for teachers, or 5 self-checks for students. Paid plans with higher limits are available.

Question 5

How accurate is MarkMate's marking?

Accepted Answer

MarkMate uses a premium AI model tuned specifically for the Australian curriculum. The AI is instructed to grade as a real teacher would. However, AI feedback is indicative, not definitive. Always defer to your teacher's professional judgement for final grades.

Question 6

Can MarkMate check handwritten work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select 'Photo of Handwriting' when submitting your work, then take a photo or upload a scan. MarkMate uses Google Cloud Vision to read the handwriting, then shows you the extracted text to verify before checking. Great for exam practice and in-class assessments.
