The short answer
We automated the test cycle for an education testing business that is an authorised test centre for several schools and universities. The teacher describes the test in outline; the paper, each student's review and the class analysis are produced automatically, with the teacher in the loop throughout. The complete solution was built and deployed on AWS in six to eight weeks.
- Tests created automatically by topic and student level
- Each student gets a review of where they are weak
- Parents see results in a dashboard
- Six to eight weeks, deployed on AWS, teacher in the loop
What most clients get wrong about AI automation
Many clients think AI automation means standard workflows and ready-made templates. It does not start there.
It starts with understanding how the work in your business really runs, step by step from start to end, and only then asking whether an automation is worth building at all.
What was automated
The project automates a teacher's test cycle, from writing the paper to following up on the results.
- The teacher describes the test in outline
- The test is created automatically by topic and student level, for that class and section, across several subjects
- Students sit the test
- Each student receives an automatic review: where they are weak, what to improve, the class average, and how the top students did topic by topic
- Parents see the same in their dashboard
- The teacher receives a review of the whole class showing the topics that class is weak on
- The teacher is prompted to arrange an online tutoring session on that topic
Where the person stays
The teacher's workload is reduced significantly, and the teacher remains in the loop at every stage. The automation prepares, analyses and prompts. The teacher decides.
What we would tell you not to do
Do not follow predefined templates. Look at your own workflow first: understand why the automation is needed, how much time it will save, where a person must stay in the loop, and whether it will be accurate across all of your business rules.
Then plan the architecture and the tools that have to connect, and work out how the time saved turns into revenue. Automate after that, not before.
