See Alkimi at work, from source material to shared assistants.

Ground answers in your materials

Assistants answer from the sources you select, and show which source each answer came from.

Connect a collection, then decide how answers draw on it.

An assistant’s Knowledge page lists the collections it can search. For each one you choose whether answers may cite references, show figures, and offer downloads, and a recall control trades how widely each message searches against what it costs, with the estimate shown alongside.

One maintained collection can serve several assistants; update it once and every connected assistant answers from the new version.

• Knowledge collections

  Group course or campus content into collections that one or many assistants can draw on.

• Documents, text, and websites

  Upload PDF, images, Office and OpenDocument files, spreadsheets, LaTeX, Markdown, plain text and source code, paste raw text directly, or crawl a site with depth and prefix rules.

• Cloud storage sync

  Build and refresh collections from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box.

• Page-anchored blocks

  Every document is read page by page into paragraphs, tables, figures and code blocks, so agents can show a figure inline and cite the exact block.

• Retrieval control

  Set how widely an assistant searches, keep a collection mention-only, and decide per collection whether it may cite passages, show figures, or offer files for download.

• Citations in answers

  Responses can cite the specific document, page, and passage they drew from.

• Scoped questions

  Students can aim a single question at one collection with an @ mention.

Cloud storage sync refreshes periodically rather than mirroring in real time. A citation makes a claim inspectable; it does not guarantee correctness.

Decide how the assistant supports learning

Set how your assistant guides learning, while administrators establish campus-wide policy guardrails.

Start from a teaching template, then make it yours.

The template catalog groups starting points by what they are for: Socratic discussion facilitators, exam prep and lab report coaches, citation helpers, and discipline-specific learning assistants. Each one is an editable configuration of persona, tone, rules, and tools, not a locked product.

• Template catalog

  Start from built-in education templates, including Socratic tutoring, course design, and assessment authoring.

• Instructions Studio

  Compose persona, tone, and reusable instruction sections with a live preview of the assembled prompt.

• Safeguards

  Attach prebuilt identity, data, content, and scope protections, with organization-wide defaults.

• Reasoning visibility

  Enable multi-step reasoning, and choose whether students see the thought process or only the answer.

• Model choice

  Give each assistant an Alkimi router that tracks the best model in its tier, or pin a specific model from the set your institution allows, and optionally let users switch mid-conversation.

• Message spend limit

  Set a model-message spend limit that also constrains available context. Enabled tools can add separate charges.

• Web access control

  Leave web search off, require an explicit @web request, or allow the assistant to search when it needs to.

• Greeting and suggestions

  Set the welcome message and the follow-up prompts students see in an empty conversation.

Templates and safeguards shape behavior; they are not guaranteed enforcement, so test in chat preview. The message spend limit bounds model-message cost and context; enabled tools can add separate charges, and retrieval scope is a separate setting.

Build and export coursework

Draft quizzes, exams, and rubrics in chat, then export them in LMS-ready, print, and document formats.

Draft a quiz from the readings and export it for your LMS.

Ask for quiz items from the connected materials; the assistant returns a card you can preview with the answer key and revise in chat. The download menu serializes the same quiz to the format your LMS imports.

Requires the quiz tool enabled on the assistant and a model with tool calling. Spot-check the first import.

History

• Quiz generation

  Enable the quiz tool and the assistant drafts quiz items as revisable cards inside the chat.

• LMS export

  Download finished quizzes as QTI 1.2 or 2.1, Moodle XML, or Blackboard packages for import.

• Print and document exams

  Export an exam for print, LaTeX, or Word when it is not going into an LMS.

• Quiz import

  Bring an existing QTI, Moodle, or Blackboard quiz into chat to revise or extend it.

• Rubric generation

  Draft grading rubrics as revisable cards and download them as Canvas rubric CSV.

QTI, Moodle XML, and Blackboard packages download from the quiz card for LMS import. Print, LaTeX, and Word exams are a separate document workflow, not an option in that export menu.

Set the guardrails once

Central controls that hold regardless of what any individual instructor configures.

One switch per model, for the whole campus.

Administrators decide which language models anyone in the organization can select. A model disabled here disappears from every assistant builder; a data-retention policy toggle sits above the catalog.

A configuration screen is a starting point for review. Check one consequence as a non-admin member.

• Organizations and workspaces

  Divide the institution into workspaces so departments, courses, and staff keep their assistants and materials separate.

• Role-based permissions

  Assign roles at the organization, workspace, assistant, and collection level.

• Organization policies

  Set rules for external sharing, public assistants, citation sharing, personal information, and default safeguards.

• Model governance

  Choose which models are available campus-wide, migrate assistants in bulk, and contact Alkimi to enable EU in-region routing for eligible models.

• Shared templates and instruction library

  Publish approved assistant templates and reusable instruction sections for the whole institution.

• API keys and service accounts

  Issue role-scoped keys so internal systems can work with Alkimi programmatically.

• Billing controls

  Manage the subscription, top up credits, review invoices, and set usage alerts.

Organization policies for sharing and access are enforced; safeguard defaults are starting points that local owners can adjust. EU in-region routing is requested through Alkimi for eligible models, not a self-service toggle.

See how it is being used

Clear visibility into active usage, credit consumption, and response quality across courses and departments.

Aggregate usage, by day, member, and assistant.

Organization reporting shows credit spend over time, broken down by category, with the top members and assistants ranked below. Export the tables as CSV for budget reviews.

Reporting never opens a private conversation.

• Assistant statistics

  Users, conversations, messages, response quality, performance, credit use, tool use, and a peak-hours heatmap.

• Collection statistics

  Content growth, usage over time, which passages get retrieved, storage, and the assistants drawing on the collection.

• Organization usage

  Credit spend broken down by day, member, assistant, and category, exportable as CSV.

Aggregate reporting does not open private student conversations, and response quality ratings do not measure learning gains.

Usable by every student

Every student can adjust interface scale, contrast, color vision support, and readable type from their own account.

Settings each learner controls for themselves.

Interface scale, high-contrast modes, color-vision compensation, and a dyslexia-friendly font live in account settings, so a student adjusts the interface without asking an administrator.

• Interface scale

  Scale the interface per device without relying on browser zoom.

• High contrast

  Raise contrast across the interface for low-vision readers.

• Color vision support

  Apply compensation filters for color vision deficiencies, or simulate them to check your own materials.

• Dyslexia-friendly type

  Switch the interface to the OpenDyslexic typeface.

These are per-account interface preferences that learners control themselves. They are not a Section 508 VPAT or a WCAG certification claim.
