The Problem

Grading coding assignments takes too long and correctness alone does not show how students are thinking.

Instructors often have to review hundreds of lines of code across large classes, while students need feedback that explains what went wrong, why it matters, and how to improve.

From code submissions to instructional insight

1. Upload student submissions
Bring in coding assignments from your existing workflow and upload them to your preconfigured assignments.

2. Octopodi analyzes patterns
The platform reviews submissions for logic, structure, and recurring approaches across the class.

3. Instructors review insights
You stay in control while using the insights to guide grading, feedback, and student support.

Not just an auto-grader. Not just another AI tool.

Traditional auto-graders focus on whether the code produces the right output. Generic AI tools can generate comments, but they do not give instructors a clear view of class-wide thinking.

Octopodi is built for coding education. We help instructors understand patterns across student submissions so they can give better feedback, make faster decisions, and support learning at scale.
