How it works
From a pile of PDFs to a graded exam.
Five steps take a teacher from uploading a past paper to seeing exactly which topics their class needs re-taught — with the teacher in control the whole way.
Set up the subject & upload past papers
A teacher creates a subject and outlines its syllabus, then uploads their past-paper PDFs. Alpha reads each paper and links every question to a specific subtopic — turning a static PDF into structured, reusable data.
Scanned images are read too. Nothing is discarded — the whole back-catalogue becomes searchable.
Describe the exam — AI drafts it
The teacher picks which papers to draw from and writes a plain-English request, like "a 10-question, medium-difficulty test on cell biology." Alpha generates a ready-made draft from those papers.
The AI does the assembly — pulling suitable questions and structuring the paper.
Review, edit & approve
Nothing is automatic. The teacher reviews the draft, edits wording or marks, swaps questions, and only then approves it for publishing. The human owns quality from start to finish.
This is the step that makes AI safe for a classroom — and it is non-negotiable in Alpha.
Students sit it — objective marking is instant
Students enrol with a simple class code and sit the assessment online. Multiple-choice and calculation questions are graded the moment they submit.
Written answers can be reviewed by the teacher, with AI-assisted marking on the roadmap.
See where the class stands, by topic
Results roll up into class mastery per subtopic, with the weakest topics surfaced first. The teacher's effort shifts from marking to acting on insight.
That's the difference between a marking tool and a teaching tool.

What the teacher actually sees.
Step three is the approval, and step five is the payoff. Everything else in the workflow exists to get to these two.
