# Overview

> What Edpire does, what you do, and the core principle behind the integration.

## What Edpire does

* Stores assessment content (exercises, questions, answer keys)
* Grades submissions (deterministic scoring + AI evaluation for open-ended questions)
* Provides per-question feedback without revealing correct answers
* Stores all submission records and per-question results
* Persists in-progress drafts for crash recovery and resumable sessions
* Records learner interaction events (answer changes, navigation, flags) for analytics
* Delivers webhook notifications for catalog and submission events

## What you do

* Maintain your own assessment catalog (titles, categories, metadata)
* Control learner access (who can take what)
* Build your own learner-facing UI (or use Edpire's hosted UI via redirect)
* Store submission summaries for dashboards and progress tracking
* Fetch detailed per-question breakdowns on demand from Edpire

## Core principle

<Note>
  Edpire owns **content + grading**. You own **catalog, taxonomy, access control, and UX**.

## How assessments reach your learners

One recommended path, two alternatives:

| Path                | What it does                                         | When                                             |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Embedded Player** | Mounts our full player inside your page or app       | **Recommended for platform integrations**        |
| **Custom Flow**     | Your own UX using our question renderer and `/check` | When the shape of the experience is your product |
| **Share a link**    | A hosted URL you can paste anywhere                  | Prototyping, or a teacher sharing directly       |

See [How assessments reach your learners](/developer/integration-tiers) for the trade-offs, and the [SDK Reference](/developer/sdk/overview) for typed detail.

<Note>
  **Phase 1 should be auto-graded only.** Every question type except open-ended grades instantly with
  no teacher involvement. Open-ended questions are supported, but they return a provisional score and
  finalize later via the `submission.grading.completed` webhook, so wire that up before enabling them.
