An AI-powered teaching assistant platform designed to help professors streamline administrative tasks—so they can focus on what matters most: teaching and inspiring students.
Born from firsthand experience as a student, grader, and researcher, RAISE is our response to the overwhelming amount of administrative work placed on educators today.
RAISE stands for Responsible AI for Student Engagement. We're building an AI-powered teaching assistant platform designed to help professors and educators streamline their most time-consuming tasks—so they can focus on what really matters: teaching and inspiring students.
We believe AI can do more than automate—it can enhance learning experiences and humanize education at scale.
Professors are under intense pressure with administrative tasks that take away from meaningful teaching time.
Professors are expected to grade hundreds of assignments, answer repetitive student questions, and track student performance across huge classes.
All this administrative burden adds up to less time for meaningful teaching and one-on-one student interactions.
Large class sizes make it difficult to identify struggling students and address individual learning needs effectively.
RAISE is a centralized AI platform that acts as a 24/7 teaching assistant, handling repetitive tasks and providing valuable insights.
Generate Bloom's Taxonomy-based questions from lecture slides, textbooks, or syllabi, saving hours of preparation time.
Automatically grade code, short answers, or essays with structured AI-generated feedback that helps students learn from their mistakes.
Trained on course content, it answers repetitive student queries anytime—"What's due this week?", "Explain Merge Sort," etc.
Shows who's struggling, where learning gaps exist, and suggests interventions to improve student outcomes.
Simplifies difficult topics, creates summaries, and recommends additional resources based on individual learning levels.
Five core functions that resonate with startup CFOs, SaaS investors, and mentors—especially if they’re eyeing product clarity and market fit.
I’m Deepak — a CS grad student at NC State and founder of RAISE AI Labs. I’m building a responsible AI platform that helps professors not just teach better—but understand and engage students like never before. We’re tackling a growing problem: large-scale university classes are impersonal, time-constrained, and full of missed learning signals.
Real-time, interactive quizzes generated from lecture slides as professors teach. AI agents analyze scores and flag disengaged students, recommending 1:1 meetings or office hours automatically.
Coding, math, or written assignments get graded faster with AI. We combine plagiarism detection (Turnitin + MOSS) with LLM-generated feedback. Professors always have the final override.
Instantly create assignments, slides, or mini-projects using only a topic or learning goal. Think “Notion AI for academics,” but deeply attuned to each prof’s syllabus and teaching style.
Professors train their own course-specific chatbots to re-explain lectures, guide students, and answer questions at any hour—bridging knowledge gaps between classes.
RAISE curates relevant research, tools, and discoveries based on class topics. Students get weekly digests, tying what they learn to the real world of their field.
My Stage: I’ve defined the vision, built the brand, secured the domain, started MVP development, and I’m engaging NC State professors for pilot programs. Now, I’m looking for guidance on refining the business model, fundraising strategy, and scaling plan.
Built with modern, scalable technologies to ensure performance, security, and ease of integration.

We're building a future where AI empowers—not replaces—humans in the learning process.
We envision a future where educators don't burn out on administrative work but can focus on their passion for teaching.
Students feel like the course was designed just for them, not like they're one of 500 in a lecture hall.
AI works alongside educators to enhance learning without replacing the human touch.
