# What are the top AI grading tools for automatically scoring open-ended written responses?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 users, what are the top AI grading tools for automatically scoring open-ended written responses like essays rather than multiple choice? Comparing tools in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/ai-grading-tools">AI grading tools</a> category on that specific capability.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cograder/reviews"><strong>CoGrader</strong></a> reviewers describe a dramatic time shift, with one going from grading 60-plus essays over two or three weeks to 90-plus essays in two days, and feedback getting sent straight into Google Classroom so students act on it while the assignment is still fresh.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/markinminutes/reviews"><strong>MarkInMinutes</strong></a> reviewers point to evidence-backed justifications tied to specific rubric criteria, which one described as solving the "why did I get this grade" problem, since the reasoning is documented instead of relying on memory weeks later.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone grading open-ended writing at volume, has the AI's first-pass scoring actually held up when a student pushes back on a grade, or do you still end up re-grading by hand more often than you'd like?</p>

AI Grading Tools reviews on G2 are limited to a small handful of platforms right now, which makes the specific claims each one makes worth reading closely rather than comparing broadly. CoGrader&#39;s dramatic before-and-after example, going from grading a modest stack of essays over a couple of weeks to a larger stack in a couple of days, is a concrete individual account rather than a broad pattern yet, though the direction of the claim, faster turnaround while feedback is still fresh, lines up with what the category is supposed to deliver.
MarkInMinutes&#39; rubric-tied justification is solving a different problem than raw grading speed, the documentation gap that shows up weeks later when a student asks why they got a specific grade,e and the teacher no longer remembers the exact reasoning. The post&#39;s own question about whether first-pass scoring holds up under a student&#39;s pushback is really testing that second capability more than the first, since speed only matters if the resulting grade can also be defended when someone asks.
