GotFeedback is another tool that has jumped on the AI bandwagon. It claims to be able to provide feedback on a piece of (student) writing. At the moment, there are 4 default areas of feedback (e.g. narrative structure), but users can also use their own custom prompt (i.e., tell the AI system what you want it to comment on). If this AI system works well, it will of great help to ESL teachers.
I tested it with a few essays. It doesn't work like Grammarly, which highlights problems with individual sentences. Instead, it provides general comments with respect to one of the 4 default areas or on users' custom prompt. The generated comments will cite examples from the essay. To me, the comments are still a bit too general and not concrete enough. Sometimes, it gives me the impression that it has jumped to those feedback conclusions. But maybe that's because the essays I tried are not terrible ones. If I get to find a pre-intermediate ESL learner's composition with lots of problems, I will test this AI system again to see how it performs.
