About Eddo
We're on a mission to give teachers their time back—so they can focus on what matters most: building relationships with students and guiding their learning journey.
Our Story
Eddo was born from a simple observation: teachers spend countless hours grading assessments and writing feedback, but students often don't have time to process it all before moving on to the next unit.
We asked ourselves: What if AI could handle the time-consuming parts of assessment—the scoring, the initial feedback, the data analysis—so teachers could focus on the human parts? The conversations. The encouragement. The "aha" moments.
Today, Eddo helps thousands of teachers deliver personalized, timely feedback to every student. We're not replacing teachers—we're amplifying their impact.

Our Values
These principles guide everything we do—from product development to customer support.
Teacher-First Design
Every feature we build starts with one question: Will this save teachers time? We design with and for educators, not just about them.
Student-Centered Impact
Time saved for teachers means more personalized attention for students. Better feedback leads to better learning outcomes.
Equity & Access
AI-powered tools shouldn't widen the gap—they should close it. We're committed to making high-quality feedback accessible to all students.
Privacy & Trust
Student data is sacred. We maintain the highest standards of data privacy and security, giving schools full control over their information.
Continuous Learning
Education evolves, and so do we. We actively listen to our community and iterate based on real classroom needs.
Transparency
We believe in open communication about how our AI works, what data we use, and how we make decisions that affect educators and students.
