Purpose
Reduce repetitive grading effort while improving consistency, transparency, and feedback quality for students.
Early access
AI-assisted feedback for programming courses
aiDACTO is a platform for programming courses. It helps lectors manage students and assignments, coordinate school-based cohorts, and analyze student repository submissions with AI-assisted feedback.
Target users
Lectors, school admins, and institutions running programming classes with structured assignment workflows.
What makes it different
Feedback is grounded in your own rubrics and test cases, and you stay in control: AI findings are suggestions you review before anything reaches your students.
We are looking for early testers
aiDACTO is in an early testing phase. We invite lectors to try it with their own courses and help shape the platform with their feedback.
Who can join
- You teach programming – at a school, university, or in professional training.
- You have a GitHub account – aiDACTO works with GitHub repositories for assignments and submissions. Don't have one yet? Sign up at GitHub.
How it works
- Book a kickoff meeting before trying out aiDACTO.
- In the meeting, we walk you through aiDACTO and set up your access.
- Use aiDACTO with your course and share your feedback with us.

Highlights
AI-assisted submission analysis
Analyze student repositories against the task description, rubric, and test cases, and get structured findings per criterion.
Cross-repository analysis
Compare submissions across a whole class to spot common mistakes and patterns at a glance.
Reusable templates
Build libraries of task descriptions, rubrics, test cases, and agent skills, and reuse them across courses.
Repositories created for you
Create a repository per student with the task information included, following your naming conventions.
School-aware student management
Manage students and cohorts per school, shared between the lectors affiliated with it.
Lector in control
Review, adjust, and override AI findings before submitting feedback to students.
Roadmap
What's coming next:
- GitLab integration – use GitLab.com or your school's own GitLab instance as an alternative to GitHub.
- Working without Git – submit and analyze assignments without requiring students to use a Git repository.
- Tutorials – step-by-step guides with screenshots for the complete lector workflow.
The roadmap reflects current plans and may change. Early testers help us decide what comes first.
Workflow at a glance
- Sign in and set up school affiliation and profile settings.
- Create or import students and connect repository conventions.
- Create a task using task, rubric, and test-case templates.
- Automatically create repositories for students with task information included.
- Run submission analysis and review generated findings.
- Submit feedback to students.
Step-by-step tutorials with screenshots are coming soon.
