About Otus
Otus drops AI into its gradebook and stacks bulk-action time-savers around it.
A coordinated April release pushed an embedded AI assistant into the Standards Gradebook alongside a wave of bulk-action quality improvements: bulk assessment comments, multi-class grade posting, multi-item plan status updates, and bulk plan PDF export. There's also a new question-level analysis view tied to standards. The shipping batch reads like a single coordinated quarterly release rather than scattered tweaks.
