Lumi puts a brilliant, endlessly patient AI tutor in the hands of every learner in Africa — in any classroom, online or off, for a few dollars a month.
Across Africa, hundreds of millions of curious, capable young minds sit in classrooms with too few teachers and too little time. The talent was never the problem. Access to patient, personal guidance was. That is the gap Lumi exists to close.

Lumi isn’t an oracle handing out answers, and it never replaces a teacher. It’s a tutor with infinite patience — one that asks the next good question, meets every learner where they are, and helps them get there themselves.
From fractions to photosynthesis — broken down step by step, at the right level, until it clicks.
Lumi notices what’s landing and what isn’t, then adjusts pace, examples and difficulty for that child.
Learning in Swahili, Yoruba, Amharic, Hausa and more — so understanding never gets lost in translation.
Ask out loud, type a question, or snap a photo of a worksheet — Lumi meets learners however they reach out.
We set up Lumi for a class or a whole school in minutes — on the phones, tablets or low-cost devices already in the room. Works online or fully offline.
Children explore questions in their own language and at their own pace — by text, voice or photo — guided to the answer rather than handed it.
Teachers get a clear view of where the class is thriving and where it’s stuck — so their time goes exactly where it matters most.
Lumi is built for children first. Every decision — from what it can access to who stays in charge — is made to keep young learners safe and teachers in control.
Responses are tuned to each learner’s age — gentle, accurate and always suitable for a child.
Lumi works inside a curated, education-only world. No browsing, no rabbit holes, no surprises.
Educators can see conversations, set boundaries and steer how Lumi supports their class.
We collect only what learning requires, aligned with the Kenya Data Protection Act.
People review, refine and correct Lumi continuously. A teacher is always the final word.
Designed and run in Nairobi by AI Agents Plus — for African classrooms, with African educators.
