Core UX Offering

Summarize Answers: Provides a classroom-level synthesis of student responses. Reduces the time teachers spend scanning individual answers and helps them identify themes and next steps for instruction.

Rate the summary: A binary thumbs up/down feedback mechanism gives teachers an immediate way to signal summary usefulness. This not only builds trust but also feeds future model refinement to improve summary quality over time.

Review summaries: Allows teachers to revisit previous summaries to compare cohorts, track changes in class comprehension, and see changes in understanding as updated responses come in—supporting more informed instruction and reflection.

If I had to describe Jessica in one line, it'd be: the person you want in the room when things get real. She has this sharp instinct for cutting through the noise and finding what actually matters to users, not inventing solutions looking for a problem, but genuinely solving the right thing.
