In a world where AI promises sweeping transformation, many exam providers and awarding organisations struggle with the “how” of meaningful adoption: How do you innovate without overwhelming your users? How do you introduce change without disrupting what already works? At Excelsoft, our answer lies in incremental innovation through AI-powered MicroApps—small, specialised applications that solve specific problems, deliver quick wins, and integrate seamlessly with existing systems. This session will take participants inside Excelsoft’s pragmatic and scalable approach to AI in assessments. Rather than attempting a wholesale overhaul, we’ve focused on targeted innovation, deploying AI where it adds the most immediate value. We’ll showcase four of our flagship MicroApps: - AI Item Writer – for scalable question generation - AI Powered Essay Evaluator - for consistent, automated scoring - AI Powered Speech Evaluator - for smart evaluation of spoken responses (pronunciation, fluency, prosody) - AI Personas for Conversational Assessments – for holistic assessment of knowledge and soft-skills More than just tools, these MicroApps are change enablers—designed to plug into existing workflows with minimal disruption, offering measurable impact at a fraction of the cost of large-scale transformation initiatives. We'll also share real customer case studies that highlight how organisations adopted these AI MicroApps incrementally: - What legacy systems and processes they were using - The specific challenges they faced in learning and assessment - How the MicroApps were integrated without displacing existing infrastructure and processes (rather augmented them) - The outcomes they achieved in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction This session will leave attendees with a replicable model of responsible, agile AI adoption—one that scales with your business, not against it.
