AIR is a specialised educational technology solution designed to streamline the writing assessment process for teachers. It functions as a personal Writing Assessment assistant that eliminates the time-consuming effort typically required to assess student writing and provide meaningful feedback. Developed by educators with over 100 collective years of experience in education, AIR was created to address the significant workload challenges teachers face when evaluating written work. The platform has already helped reduce teacher workload in over 2000 schools across the UK over the past 20 years, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability in educational settings.

The key capabilities of AIR revolve around its simple yet powerful three-step process: uploading writing samples, receiving instant assessments, and improving student outcomes. Teachers can easily capture photos of student work directly from their phones, tablets, or computers, making the submission process quick and convenient. Once uploaded, AIR instantly provides assessment information and actionable feedback, eliminating hours of manual grading. The platform also offers valuable insights by displaying class strengths and areas for improvement at a glance, allowing teachers to make data-driven instructional decisions. This comprehensive approach helps educators focus more on teaching and less on administrative tasks.

AIR is typically implemented in schools through a straightforward onboarding process that begins with a demonstration of the platform's capabilities. Schools interested in adopting AIR can book a demo through the website to see the technology in action. The implementation appears to be designed with teacher and student needs at the core, as the developers worked closely with many teachers during the research and development phase to ensure the process is both simple and effective. Teachers like Laura Hulme, a Year 6 Teacher and Senior English Lead at Devonshire Park Primary School, have praised the platform for its accuracy and intuitive design, noting that it effectively captures their own assessment judgments. Schools can integrate AIR into their existing assessment workflows to immediately begin reducing teacher workload and improving pupil progress.
