Our Mission

Rumi addresses one of the most pressing challenges in education today: helping schools incorporate AI into the classroom without compromising the integrity of the learning process. Rumi offers a solution that enables schools to set custom AI policies for each assignment. Instead of relying on flawed AI detectors or taking a hands-off approach to AI, instructors can use Rumi to glean insights into students' writing and thinking processes, rather than just evaluating final submissions.

Our company is named after the renowned 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi. He is one of history’s most original thinkers, whose timeless works remain among the best-selling poetry in the world. In the modern AI era, our mission is to advance original thinking as well as AI Literacy.
