Company profile
researched Aug 2026Jackett (legal name Jackett Pte Ltd.) is a Singapore-headquartered education technology company that provides a smart assessment platform for teachers. The product is positioned as a teacher's app covering the full assessment workflow: scanning and digitising (auto-typing) existing questions, auto-populating or building customised assessments from a question library, distributing question papers to students, automatically marking submitted responses, and generating analytics on student strengths and weaknesses. The company describes the offering as an AI and machine-learning-enabled operating system for teachers aimed at automating time-consuming tasks such as creating, grading and personalising assessments.
Beyond individual test creation and marking, Jackett applies smart analytics so teachers can view student progress over time, and the platform is described as integrating with a teacher's or institution's existing learning management system. The stated aim is to bring adaptive learning and classroom data into the teaching process to support a personalised learning experience for each student.
