General-purpose assistants begin with broad model knowledge and general conversational behavior. Alkimi combines selected course or campus materials with teaching instructions, safeguards, model controls, permissions, and usage reporting for higher education. Faculty configure what their agents know and how they respond, while administrators enforce organization-wide model, access, and sharing policies.
Curriculum-Grounded AI
for Higher Education
Faculty define what assistants know and how they teach. Students get course-aligned guidance. Institutions set data, model, and access controls.
One Platform for the Whole Campus
Alkimi serves every role on campus, from the front office to the classroom. Pick your path.
For Institutions
Admissions, IT, registrar, committees, and campus operations.
For Faculty
Professors, instructors, and TAs: teaching assistants built on your course materials, on your terms.
For Students
Study help that stays true to your course and builds real understanding, not shortcuts.
Built With Educators, for Institutions
The platform grew from concrete classroom and campus problems faculty and administrators face when students turn to generic AI.
Grounded in the Materials You Choose
Generic AI gives confident answers with no connection to what is actually taught. Alkimi agents are anchored to the materials you choose: lecture notes, textbooks, syllabi, handbooks, and policy documents.
- Upload documents, add text, or pull in website content to build a trusted knowledge base.
- Agents can use selected materials and follow the notation, terminology, and instructional context provided.
- Answers render what each field needs: LaTeX equations and proofs, code listings, data tables, and quoted source passages.

Configure Guided, Socratic Responses
Learning requires productive struggle. Instructors can configure Alkimi agents as Socratic tutors that ask probing questions, point students to relevant material, and resist requests for final answers.
- Instructors can configure agents to resist final-answer requests and guide students through their reasoning.
- The instructor sets the rules: how much to reveal, what to reference, and how to respond off-topic.
- Pedagogically designed templates provide a configurable starting point.
Institutional Guardrails, Faculty Autonomy
Institutions set baseline controls for data, models, and access. Faculty configure course materials and assistant behavior within those boundaries.
- Administrators control model availability, privacy rules, and access from one dashboard.
- Workspaces and role-based permissions organize departments, courses, and staff cleanly.
- Share agents by link or use an external website embed where the destination environment supports it.
Institution Baseline Controls
Shared guardrails enforced across every campus workspace
Course materials, teaching mode, and sharing
Published course agents and approved resources
Office knowledge, service behavior, and audience
Approved campus services and information
Security and Privacy, Documented
Alkimi documents how customer content is stored, processed, shared, and deleted. Institutions remain custodians of student education records, while users control explicit sharing.
-
Private by Default
Chats and materials are private by default. Sharing requires an explicit choice.
-
Data Ownership & Controls
Institutions remain custodians of student records; access follows roles and permissions.
-
Encryption
TLS 1.2+ protects data in transit, and AES-256 protects data at rest.
-
Access & Identity
Role-based permissions, Google and Microsoft SSO, and MFA controls.
