How it works in your classroom

The student writes. You see everything.

Students work in one place and get coached while they draft. You watch the process unfold, not just the final product, so you know who needs you before the unit ends.

The student side

Writing with a guide that asks questions

Brainstorm, draft, revise and respond to feedback in one workspace. Lumi will not write for them: it points to a sentence and asks about it, so the words stay theirs.

Your side

Every draft, and what changed between them

See which skills are landing, which students are stuck on the same thing, and who needs a small group tomorrow. You get that info while there is still time to act on it.

Revision history

Every kind of writing

One platform. Every genre, every subject, every grade.

The same workspace handles a fourth-grade narrative, an eighth-grade argument, and a sixth-grade science explanation. Scaffolds like sentence stems and starter questions change to fit the genre and the class. Every project maps to your state standards, and the guide coaches and questions rather than writing for the student.

Lumi narrative writing project for grade 4 ELA with a scene-building scaffold and coaching chat

Narrative

Grade 4 ELA

Scaffolding to set the scene, raise the problem, and show rather than telling. The guide asks what the deck sounds like instead of supplying the sentence.

Lumi argument writing project for grade 8 social studies with claim and evidence scaffolding

Argument

Grade 8 social studies

Scaffolding to write the claim, evidence, reasoning, and counterclaim. Sentence stems appear to help students build out their arguments.

Lumi informational writing project for grade 6 science with a word bank and explanation scaffold

Informational

Grade 6 science

Scaffolding for observation, data, and explaining the cause. The project uses a word bank drawn from the unit so students write like scientists.

Support for every writer in the room

Differentiation you don’t have to build yourself.

Assign one essay to the whole class. You set the scaffolds for the class, and the guide meets each student where they are in their own draft, asking about the sentence in front of them. You still see one set of drafts against one standard.

What revision looks like

One question. One better sentence.

The guide doesn’t fix the writing. It asks about it. Here is what one question did to one sentence.

The student wrote

The storm was really really scary and the boat was moving a lot.

GuideYou said it was scary. What did the deck sound like under Mira’s feet?

→

The student wrote back

The deck groaned like an old door every time a wave lifted us, and Mira grabbed the rope so hard her hands went white.

Every word is the student’s. The guide only asked.

AI that works like a scaffold, not a shortcut.

Lumi helps students

  • Brainstorm
  • Ask questions
  • Understand feedback
  • Develop ideas
  • Revise

Students still do the work

  • Think
  • Make decisions
  • Write
  • Respond to feedback
  • Create the final work

Teachers remain the authors of instruction, students remain the authors of their work, and Lumi’s AI is designed to support the learning process rather than replace it.

Real-world impact

DREAM has partnered with Lumi to integrate its AI platform into afterschool programming for students across East Harlem and the South Bronx... Feedback from DREAM educators has been extremely positive, with staff becoming 'ambassadors' for the platform at each school.

Eve Colavito

CEO, DREAM

Lumi is another form of tailored instruction. When you can’t get around to every small group, Lumi acts as a facilitator.

Ms. Brown

Newark Teacher

Lumi allows students to be the creators and innovators. Student engagement was really exciting and really loud. This is a great opportunity for the students and the teachers.

Dr. Ortiz

Assistant Superintendent, Newark Public Schools

AI doesn’t wash away creativity—it amplifies it.

Ms. Carrero

Newark Teacher

Lumi's presence at our Manhattan AI Summit exemplifies the company’s dedication to going above and beyond... We are strong believers in Lumi and the work they are doing to empower students, educators, and districts through AI-driven learning.

Gary Beidleman

Superintendent, Manhattan High Schools

The students were more engaged because they were creating projects from themselves—their ideas, their stories coming to life.
