AI CAN WRITE THE PAPER. CAN YOUR STUDENT EXPLAIN IT?
ACADEMIC
JUDGMENT,
MADE VISIBLE.
RHETORYX runs AI-powered oral exams so faculty can verify that students actually understand their own work.
Students submit work, answer live AI questions, and get recorded. Faculty review the transcript, score the rubric, and release feedback. No extra meetings. No guesswork.
STUDENT SUBMITS WORK
Paper, slides, reading, or scenario. Uploaded before the session starts.
AI GENERATES QUESTIONS
RHETORYX reads the submission and builds a targeted question plan.
FACULTY REVIEWS SESSION
Transcript, recording, and rubric score in one place. Release when ready.
TO VERIFY WHAT STUDENTS ACTUALLY KNOW, NOT JUST WHAT THEY SUBMITTED.
Oral defenses are the gold standard for academic integrity. RHETORYX makes them scalable, giving faculty a structured review surface without adding hours of coordination overhead.
Every paper upload, presentation delivery, and reading response becomes a defensible evidence trail. Faculty review the record. Students know the standard. Institutions keep the rigor.

EVERYTHING FACULTY NEED,
NOTHING THEY DON'T.
SOURCE-AWARE QUESTIONING
Papers, decks, reading passages, and scenario prompts all shape the question path before the session starts.
RECORDED EVIDENCE TRAIL
Transcripts, delivery clips, identity checks, and environment scan artifacts stay organized inside one review surface.
INTEGRITY CONTROLS
Enable only what matters: ID checks, environment scans, prompt leakage review, and anomaly alerts.
FACULTY-FIRST REPORTING
Source summaries, strengths, weak spots, hesitation patterns, and rubric scoring all in one review panel.
ONE SYSTEM,
NINE WORKFLOWS.
Every workflow produces the same structured evidence trail, so faculty review stays consistent regardless of assignment type.

QUESTIONS FACULTY ASK.
DOES RHETORYX REPLACE THE INSTRUCTOR?
No. The platform prepares the questioning plan and draft analysis, but faculty review, adjust, and decide what gets released.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SESSION TAKE?
Most oral defense sessions run 12–22 minutes depending on workflow type, question depth, and submission length. Faculty can configure session caps per assignment.
WHAT IS STORED AFTER A SESSION?
Recordings, transcripts, rubric scores, source summaries, and integrity artifacts. All stored behind signed access links per your settings.
CAN I USE MY EXISTING RUBRIC?
Yes. Faculty can upload or recreate their rubric criteria inside RHETORYX. The platform maps rubric dimensions to session questions and scoring.
CAN STUDENTS COMPLETE WITHOUT VIDEO?
Only if the instructor enables low-bandwidth audio-only mode for that assignment. Video remains the default path.
IS RHETORYX ACCESSIBLE FOR STUDENTS WITH ACCOMMODATIONS?
Yes. Extended time multipliers, audio-only mode, and question pacing settings are all configurable per-student or course-wide through accommodations settings.
DO YOU INTEGRATE WITH CANVAS OR BLACKBOARD?
RHETORYX supports LTI 1.3 and grade passback (AGS) for Canvas, Blackboard, and other compliant LMS platforms.
DO YOU SUPPORT LITERATURE CLASSES?
Yes. Reading Assessment and Literature Analysis are separate workflows with configurable depth.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A STUDENT LOSES CONNECTION MID-SESSION?
Sessions are recoverable. Students can resume from the last completed question within the session window. All captured data before disconnection is preserved.
HOW DOES PRICING WORK FOR LARGE COURSES?
Instructors are always free. Student seats are priced per semester pass. Department and institution licenses include volume discounts and centralized billing.
