Show HN: Merlin (trymerlin.ai) – Exam creation tool for educators
2 comments
This is a great project. My father is an English teacher, and I recently introduced him to generating exam papers using AI. He was impressed, but the biggest hurdle was the fragmented workflow, jumping between LLM chats, document editors, and sharing tools.
We’re building Merlin, an assessment SDK for educators, that intent to help educators go from “materials” > “exam” > “results” without stitching together five different tools
What it does today:
1. Generate exams using AI (including from PDF/PPTX source material)
2. Share exams via links with specific users
3. Run/monitor exams in real time (focus on exam integrity / anti-cheating)
4. Evaluate submissions (auto-grading where possible) and track results
5. Analytics on outcomes so you can see what students actually struggled with
Check it out on: https://trymerlin.ai/
If you run assessments at any scale (university, bootcamps, training), I’d love to provide for free the license to use it in exchange for feedback on where existing workflows break: authoring, question quality, grading, proctoring, or reporting.
