Understand how students think through code, not just whether it runs.
Octopodi Technologies helps post-secondary instructors review coding assignments faster, identify common logic patterns, and deliver more meaningful feedback while keeping educators in control.
Developed by Educators
Octopodi was built by professors who understand the challenges of grading coding assignments at scale. Designed from real classroom experience, the platform helps instructors spend less time manually reviewing code and more time supporting student learning.
Shaped by Real Classroom Experience
We’ve spoken with more than 50 instructors across universities and colleges to better understand the realities of coding assessment. Their feedback helped shape a platform built around real teaching and grading workflows.
Launching with Pilot Partners
Octopodi has officially launched with pilot partners for the Spring 2026 academic term. As we continue validating and refining the platform in real classroom environments, we are now looking for additional pilot partners for Fall 2026.

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.
What Octopodi Inksight helps instructors see
Common Logic Patterns
See how students approach the same problem across the class.
Misconceptions
Identify where students are getting stuck before it becomes a bigger learning gap.
Learning Outcome Alignment
Connect assignment evidence back to course outcomes.
Feedback Support
Generate clearer, more useful feedback while preserving instructor judgment.
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.
