LUMA — AI-Enabled Intelligent Classroom Assistant
Transforming Learning with a Personalized AI Teaching Partner.
Overview
This application is designed to integrate seamlessly with platforms like Google Classroom to create a responsive, intelligent assistant that supports both students and teachers. By leveraging large language models (LLMs), the assistant provides real-time, personalized support that reflects the teacher’s unique instructional approach, our shared Catholic Identity, references course-specific materials, and adapts to the individual needs of each student.

Content-Specific Knowledge Base
Teachers can upload course documents (syllabi, readings, rubrics, etc.), allowing the assistant to reference class-specific content when responding to questions or providing explanations.
Student-Aware Personalization
Through ongoing interactions, the assistant learns about each student’s strengths, struggles, and learning style, enabling it to tailor guidance, suggest resources, and offer differentiated support.
Catholic Identity Integration
