Pastel

The AI teaching assistant for every educator

Everyone deserves a teaching assistant.

Breeze through time-consuming tasks and focus on your students. Pastel uses AI to grade work, create class materials, and measure student progress.

Our vision: enable teachers to offer students more individual attention

Reduce workload of common chores. Track and highlight student performance. Connect coursework to life outside the classroom. Focus on learning outcomes and equity.
The average high school teacher in the US spends only half of their time teaching. A full quarter of their time goes to grading, planning, and general administrative work. Pastel handles the non-teaching chores so teachers can get back to teaching.

Teachers love Pastel

“Pastel frees me up to do the more intuitive, creative part of giving feedback—I mean actually engaging with what the student has written and sharing insights into the students process, questions raised, and new avenues of inquiries.”
