A practical toolkit for the work teachers handle every day—from grading and lesson planning to emails, recommendation letters, plagiarism checks, and on-demand content creation.
“I used to spend entire weekends grading. Iris gives me that time back so I can focus on the students who need extra support.”

For many teachers, grading alone could take up an entire evening. Reading through more than 100 submissions, applying a consistent rubric, and providing useful feedback required hours of focused work. Grading was only one part of the workload. Teachers also had to prepare lesson plans, respond to parents and administrators, write recommendation letters, translate materials, and check assignments for plagiarism. These tasks were essential, but they happened outside the classroom and often took time away from planning better lessons or supporting students individually.
“By the time I finished grading, answering emails, and preparing the next lesson, I had very little time left to think about how to improve the teaching itself.”

Iris brings common teaching tasks into one practical toolkit. Teachers can use AI to grade assignments, create lesson plans, build presentations, write emails, draft recommendation letters, translate content, and check work for plagiarism. The grading module delivers one of the biggest time savings: more than 100 submissions can be graded in approximately 90 seconds using a teacher-defined rubric. Iris also includes a flexible chat interface for tasks that do not fit a predefined tool. Teachers can ask it to write content, create an image for a worksheet, or generate a presentation whenever they need one.
“The grading tool was what first caught my attention, but the chat is what I use most. I can ask for a presentation or a piece of content and have a starting point immediately.”

Tasks that once consumed entire evenings can now be completed in a fraction of the time. Grading more than 100 submissions takes approximately 90 seconds, while lesson plans, emails, recommendation letters, and plagiarism checks can all be handled from the same toolkit. The built-in chat also gives teachers a flexible option when a task does not match one of the available workflows. By reducing the time spent on routine administrative work, Iris gives teachers more room to prepare thoughtfully, support individual students, and focus on the parts of teaching that require human judgment.
“I no longer spend Sunday night worrying about unfinished grading. It is not hanging over the entire week anymore.”

Iris does not change what teachers teach or replace their professional judgment. It reduces the routine work around teaching so they can spend more time preparing lessons and helping students.
A teacher’s expertise—explaining difficult ideas, adapting to different learning styles, and supporting struggling students—was never the problem. The challenge was the growing volume of grading, emails, lesson plans, recommendation letters, and administrative tasks competing for the same limited hours.
Iris helps clear that workload without taking judgment away from the teacher. By handling repetitive tasks more efficiently, it gives teachers back the time and energy they need to focus on their students and their teaching.
“I still teach the way I always have. The difference is that I now have my evenings back to prepare for it.”
