The AI-native platform for Administrative Operations, Academic Operations, and Research Administration—bringing applications, workflows, and data together.
Higher education has invested in software for curriculum approvals, research administration, compliance, catalog management, student success, and countless other administrative functions. Yet work is still fragmented across solutions and every new initiative adds another layer of training and complexity. The problem wasn't a lack of software. It was that the work was never designed to move together.
Some processes live in specialized software, others in email, spreadsheets, or paper, leaving work fragmented.
Whether work starts in software or on a form, people still spend too much time routing approvals and chasing things along.
When work crosses tools and departments, it's hard to know what's done, what's waiting, and what's falling behind.
Every new application, compliance requirement, or AI initiative introduces another layer of work to coordinate.
Every vendor claims a platform. Kuali is the only one built as a single system, We rebuilt and elevated our solutions for what comes next. Ask questions in plain English (natural language). Turn PDFs into workflows (AI-native). Build processes without code (No-code platform). Bring institutional data together for reporting, AI, and action (Data Lakehouse). It’s a completely new platform that 350+ institutions run on today.
Change to: One system, not a bundle. A shared Data Lakehouse, workflow engine, reporting, permissions, and audit trail—with AI built into the foundation.

Leaders see only part of the picture, decisions rely on incomplete information, and staff spend too much time stitching data together. Kuali’s Unified Data Lakehouse brings institutional data into one governed, query-ready foundation—creating a shared operational brain for reporting, analysis, and AI agents that connect information, surface issues, and take action.
System of Intelligence
AI agents that act, with humans always in the loop—proactively coordinating work, surfacing insights, and helping institutions operate more intelligently.
System of Action
AI-native full-stack platform where work happens. Build applications, automate processes, govern data, and connect every system.
System of Record
Your existing SIS, ERP, CRM, LMS, HR, and institutional data, all connected through one trusted foundation.
Out-of-box, bidirectional connectors to Workday, Oracle, and Ellucian bring data into and out of the Kuali Platform—without the complexity of traditional middleware.
Kuali Bridge makes it easy to build and manage multi-step integrations across your institution, so data can move where work happens.

Ask in plain language, and Kuali AI can build forms, turn PDFs and spreadsheets into workflows, and keep work moving from request to completion.
“Using Kuali's AI Connector, it took about 10 minutes to turn a six-page packet into a working application. Building it manually probably would have taken me half a day.”
AI-powered platforms typically add conversational AI to existing applications. Kuali was built differently. AI is native to the platform, giving it the context, permissions, and capabilities to understand the work across Kuali—and help get that work done.

Every point tool your institution runs requires a separate contract, integration, security review, and training program. Consolidating that work onto one platform is where the savings start, before a single efficiency gain is counted.
