educators with AI-powered features for
proofreading and summarizing text,
employing generative AI, similar to

Teachers use it because it’s potent tool is already making its mark in real
classrooms, boasting robust grading capabilities and adaptive feedback
mechanisms tailored to individual learning needs. Magic School AI’s AI-driven

done ten times faster
