Relay
Helping teachers turn their course materials into classroom-ready assessments.
- Company we built
- We built Relay to help teachers turn their course materials into assessments in minutes.
- Impact
- We grew Relay with teachers in the classroom and sold it to Discovery Education, where it now reaches 100k+ teachers every week.
- Stage
- Acquired by Discovery Education
Teachers never needed help knowing what a great assessment looks like. They needed the hours back to build one. Teachers set the blueprint. Relay builds the assessment.
Step 1Select course materials
Step 2Set learning objectives
Step 3Generate assessments
Step 4Share with existing tools
Assessments shaped by learning objectives.
Relay uses learning objectives, reading level, difficulty, and curriculum standards to guide question generation. Multiple-choice answers help reveal what students understand and where they need more support.
Less preparation, with teachers in control.
Creating assessments takes time throughout the school year. Relay generates a draft from the teacher’s course materials, leaving teachers in control of what gets taught and tested.
How it works
Teachers upload their course materials and choose the learning objectives, reading level, and question types. Relay generates an assessment they can edit and share through their existing tools.
Teachers choose the question types and mix.
Before generating an assessment, teachers choose the types of questions and how many of each to include.
Source material stays visible during review.
Each generated question shows the course material it draws from. Teachers can check the source, review the answer, and edit the question before sharing the assessment.
“Relay has changed my life forever. I can’t wait to teach every day now.”
“Relay saves me hours of time!”
“You’re always in control. It’s my co-pilot for quickly creating assessments.”
“Relay makes high-quality assessments that meet high standards.”
Designed to grow with Discovery Education.
We built Relay so its AI model and visual design could evolve while preserving the workflow teachers knew. After the acquisition, we continued working on the product, adapting it for Discovery Education as it reached a larger audience.
