Silicon Gorge Profiles: Integrevise

1. What does your company do? 

Integrevise helps universities protect academic integrity and modernise how they assess students in the age of AI. Our main product is a smart oral exam tool called the Digital Viva, which uses AI to ask students questions about their work—helping prove it’s genuinely theirs.

We plug directly into university systems, track how students use AI during assignments, and reduce the workload on lecturers by automating time-consuming tasks. The goal? Fairer assessments, less cheating, and more confident, job-ready graduates.

2. What problem are you trying to solve? 

Universities are facing a growing crisis of trust in how students are assessed. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, it’s becoming harder to know whether a student’s work is truly their own. At the same time, traditional assessment methods like essays, exams and coursework are struggling to keep up. They’re easy to game, hard to verify, and often disconnected from real-world skills.

Students feel confused about what’s allowed. Lecturers are overwhelmed with marking and misconduct cases. And institutions are under pressure to maintain credibility while adapting to rapid changes in how students learn.

At the heart of this problem is how we assess students. That’s where we focus.

Integrevise isn’t reinventing the wheel. We’re using a proven method of assessment already trusted at the highest levels of academia: the viva. Traditionally used in PhD programmes, the viva asks students to explain and defend their work verbally. It’s one of the most reliable ways to verify understanding and academic honesty.

What makes our solution different is that we’re making this powerful method available at scale and at a cost that universities can actually afford. Our Digital Viva uses AI to deliver personalised, interactive oral assessments that restore academic integrity and make sure students can truly stand by their work.

3. What makes your solution unique? 

Integrevise is different because we don’t just detect academic misconduct after it happens — we help prevent it by changing how students are assessed.

While most tools focus on checking written work after it is submitted, we use a method that puts understanding at the centre. Our Digital Viva uses AI to conduct oral assessments, asking students to explain their work in their own words. The questions adapt based on their responses, making it much harder to fake or outsource an assignment.

This approach brings back something education has always valued — a student being able to speak to and defend their ideas. It is trusted in PhD programmes, and we are making it accessible at scale across all levels of higher education.

We also work directly inside the systems universities already use, making it easy to bring this into existing workflows. No other platform combines oral assessment, AI questioning, and institutional alignment in one simple, scalable solution.

4. What are you most proud of so far? 

One of the things we’re most proud of is how Integrevise creates a more inclusive way to assess student understanding.

Traditional exams and essays do not work for everyone. For students who are neurodivergent or experience anxiety under written test conditions, these formats can limit their ability to show what they truly know. By offering an alternative through the Digital Viva, we are opening up a pathway that plays to different strengths — spoken communication, critical thinking, and reflection.

Students can demonstrate their knowledge in a way that feels more natural, less stressful, and more aligned with how they think. For many, it is the first time they feel they’ve had a fair opportunity to be assessed on their terms.

We are also proud that universities using Integrevise have been able to reduce preparation time, increase confidence in student work, and offer a more human experience — without compromising academic rigour. The viva brings authenticity and accountability back into assessment, and it does so in a way that supports both inclusion and integrity.
