Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about Kai, how it works, and how it can transform your teaching

What is Kai?

Kai is an Autonomous Adaptive Agent designed specifically for higher education. Unlike traditional software tools that require constant manual input, Kai operates autonomously to support both instructors and students throughout the learning process.

"Autonomous" means Kai can independently perform tasks like generating quizzes from your lecture transcripts, collecting and summarizing student feedback, and answering student questions based on your course content—without requiring you to micromanage every action.

"Adaptive" means Kai learns from your lectures, teaching style, and course materials to provide personalized support that aligns with your specific pedagogical approach. The more Kai attends your classes, the better it understands your course and can assist both you and your students.

How does Kai work?

Kai integrates seamlessly into your existing teaching workflow through four key functions:

📚 Sits in on Your Lectures

Kai connects to BriteClass for lecture capture and attends every class session. As you teach, Kai transcribes your lectures and builds a knowledge base of your course content and key concepts—all without any extra work from you.

💬 Interacts with Students

Students can ask Kai questions 24/7 through the dedicated Kai student app. Kai provides answers based specifically on your lectures and course materials—not generic internet knowledge. When questions are complex or require instructor judgment, Kai knows to escalate them to you.

📖 Reviews Course Content

Kai analyzes your syllabus, readings, assignments, and assessments to understand your learning objectives and course structure. This enables Kai to align all its activities—from quiz generation to student support—with your specific pedagogical goals.

⚙️ Takes Care of Admin

Kai handles time-consuming tasks like generating quizzes from your lecture content, collecting and analyzing student feedback, tracking engagement, and identifying students who may need additional support. You maintain full control and oversight while saving hours each week.

Is my data safe? What about student privacy?

Absolutely. Student privacy and data security are our top priorities:

✓ FERPA Compliant: We fully comply with all federal student privacy regulations
✓ No AI Training: Student data is never used to train AI models
✓ Institution-Owned: All data belongs to your institution with full export capabilities
✓ Enterprise-Grade Security: Hosted on Google Cloud Platform with Firebase Authentication and industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit

Does Kai integrate with lecture capture systems?

Kai integrates with BriteClass for lecture capture, enabling automatic transcript generation and AI-powered analysis of your sessions.

Students access Kai through our dedicated mobile app (iOS and Android) or via browser-based quiz and feedback links—no app installation required for students completing questionnaires. We're working on additional integrations to fit into more institutional workflows.
