Grade Faster. Teach Smarter.
Focus on What Matters.
Developed in partnership with Técnico Lisboa — Portugal's #1 engineering university — Upstack is the AI platform that understands complex subjects. Grade 500 students in minutes, not weeks.
Official Partnership with Instituto Superior Técnico
Portugal's #1 engineering university. Tested and validated with advanced physics courses — Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, Thermodynamics.
Teaching at scale shouldn't mean sacrificing quality
Every professor faces the same impossible trade-off between research, teaching, and the sheer volume of student work.
Grading takes forever
500 students, one professor. Weeks spent on grading instead of teaching and research.
Creating assessments is tedious
Building quality exams and assignments takes hours — especially for STEM subjects.
Students slip through the cracks
By the time you identify struggling students, it's often too late to help.
Purpose-built for higher education
The only AI platform designed specifically for complex academic subjects
LaTeX Mathematics Generation
LaTeX runs the whole way through: in the generated document, in the question, in the marking criteria, in the student's feedback, in the tutor chat, and in the box the student types their answer into. Most AI teaching tools break the moment there is an equation.
Course Creation in Minutes
Build entire courses in hours instead of weeks. Generate lectures, assessments, and practice problems that adapt to your curriculum and teaching style — saving ~5,000 printed pages per professor each semester.
Instant Grading & Feedback
Grade 500+ submissions in minutes with detailed, personalized feedback. Identify struggling students before they fail.
Built for Complex Subjects
Developed with advanced physics courses — nuclear physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism. Works for any subject, no matter how complex.
Perfect for your department
Large Lecture Courses
Grade hundreds of assignments without sacrificing quality or personalized feedback.
STEM & Technical Subjects
Mathematics, code and technical assessment that most AI content tools cannot produce at all — generated from your own lecture material, not a generic bank.
Online & Hybrid Learning
Integrity signals for remote students — tab-switch detection, copy-paste blocking and a timestamped receipt for every attempt. Nothing for students to install.
Research & Publications
Generate publication-ready content, problem sets, and course materials.
From Lisbon to Singapore.
Real results, verified data.
Used by individual lecturers at 50+ universities and by schools running 1-on-1 tutor-style teaching. The one departmental deployment — and the deepest published data — is at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, included below.
7 modules. One semester. Zero manual grading.
Instituto Superior Técnico integrated LearnLab into two second-year Physics courses for P4 2024/25. Seven weekly learning modules were distributed via direct links. Four graded assessments ran with automatic correction and instant results reports — deployed by the Departamento de Física as part of a Pedagogical Innovation Project.
Open-ended physics questions. ~0.2% error rate.
LearnLab graded open-ended Quantum Mechanics responses — derivations, multi-step calculations and free-text scientific explanations — against professor-calibrated rubrics, with LaTeX handled natively. 90% of IST students rated the automatic grading accurate or very accurate, and it measured 99.8% accurate against a human baseline.
Educators aren't waiting for institutional rollouts.
Across universities, government education bodies, and 1-on-1 tutoring schools — Singapore, the UAE, the UK, Portugal — individual lecturers and tutors sign up to LearnLab on their own initiative. No procurement cycles, no committees. They're embracing AI directly in their teaching practice, one course at a time, because the alternative is falling behind.

What used to take me months to compile and plan my course, took me 30 minutes using Upstack's module crafter

"If our AI can assess whether a student truly understands complex physics, it can certainly evaluate real skills in any subject."
