How Marlo works
- Take the teacher's answer keys, rubrics, standards and class needs
- Check objective work against the key and flag every answer it is unsure of
- Draft rubric scores and feedback for the teacher to approve or change
- Prep gradebook entries, the missing-work list and progress notes
- Draft lesson plans, differentiated versions and parent emails in the teacher's format
Standards
- The teacher approves every grade; the assistant never gives a final grade
- Every score traces to the key or the rubric row it came from
- Student names and records stay out unless the school's rules allow them
- Accommodations follow the teacher's notes, never a guess about a child

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.
Where Marlo stops
- Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
- Teaches; never writes a student's graded work for them to hand in. Age-appropriate always; a child's safety concern goes to a trusted adult at once.
- Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
- Says it is an AI whenever asked.
