Smriti

Smriti is an AI-powered platform designed to provide instant, automated grading and detailed feedback for IELTS Writing Task 2 essays. Its core value proposition lies in offering test-takers a fast, objective, and accessible way to assess their writing skills, identify weaknesses, and track improvement over time without waiting for a human examiner. By simulating the official IELTS assessment criteria, it helps users understand their current band score level and focus their preparation efforts more effectively.

Key features: The tool analyzes essays based on the four official IELTS criteria: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. It provides a predicted band score for each criterion and an overall score, accompanied by specific, line-by-line feedback highlighting errors in grammar, vocabulary, and argument structure. For example, it can point out repetitive word usage, suggest more academic synonyms, identify run-on sentences, and comment on the logical flow of ideas. Users can submit multiple essay attempts to monitor their progress.

What sets Smriti apart is its specialization in the high-stakes IELTS exam format, with a model trained specifically on its scoring rubrics, unlike generic grammar checkers. It focuses on the nuanced requirements of academic writing for this test, such as argument development and formal tone. The platform is web-based, requiring no software installation, and provides results within seconds. While it does not offer deep API integrations, its standalone interface is streamlined for the singular purpose of IELTS writing practice, making it highly focused and efficient for its target users.

Ideal for non-native English speakers preparing for the IELTS Academic or General Training modules, particularly those who need frequent writing practice and lack access to or funds for professional tutors. It is also useful for language schools and tutors who want to incorporate an automated preliminary assessment tool into their teaching workflow to supplement human feedback. Specific use cases include self-study learners aiming for a band score improvement, last-minute practice before an exam, and structured writing drill sessions.

Pricing starts from $1.56 per essay for pay-as-you-go credits, with subscription bundles available for higher-volume users seeking a lower cost per assessment. There is no permanently free tier, but a demo or trial essay might be available to first-time users.
