Kritik is an ed-tech startup to help develop critical thinking in the age of AI.

Problem

We solve the problem of grading burden for profs, as well as lack of students engagement and academic integrity in the age of AI.

Solution

Kritik is an edtech company on a mission to develop critical thinking across higher education. Its two integrated solutions, Kritik360 and VisibleAI, equip students not just to engage and perform, but to think deeply and responsibly in the age of AI. Kritik360 is a peer assessment platform where students evaluate one another’s work using structured rubrics, building essential feedback skills and metacognitive awareness. VisibleAI provides transparent authorship insights and helps educators and students alike understand and reflect on how generative AI is used in academic work. By connecting these platforms, instructors can guide students to critically assess both the quality and originality of their own and others’ work, building a culture of academic integrity, reflective learning, and responsible AI use.

Features include:

  • Kritik360 for peer assessment
  • VisibleAI for academic Integrity and AI literacy

Traction

  • Our products are used by about 1000 instructors across 150 colleges and universities.

Business model

We have 3 models: Student Paid per course. Department Paid, and School paid. We are also part of Inclusive Access Programs in higher education where students pay a lump sum fee per semester for all their courseware needs and Kritik receives payment based on usage on campus.
