Common questions

Does the AI replace the examiner’s judgment?: No. AEMS proposes marks and annotations based on your rubric. The academic reviews every grade and can accept, adjust, or override any decision before it reaches students. The AI is an assistant, not a replacement.
Where is student data stored?: That depends on the plan you choose. With Personal, all data stays on your own computer. With Department, data is processed and stored in EU data centres. With Institutional, everything runs behind your university’s firewall. See our Security page for full details.
Can it handle handwritten exams?: Yes. AEMS uses vision-capable AI models to read handwritten, typed, and printed submissions. It works with any exam paper you can scan or export as a PDF.
Which AI models are supported?: AEMS supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4o (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and local models via Ollama. You choose the provider — and you can switch between them at any time.
Does AEMS work with our LMS?: AEMS integrates directly with Canvas LMS for fetching submissions, syncing grades, and delivering annotated feedback to students. Support for additional LMS platforms is on the roadmap.
Can students manipulate the AI marking?: AEMS includes prompt injection protection that detects invisible or hidden text in PDFs — a technique sometimes used to influence AI models. Suspicious submissions are flagged for manual review.
