Kuali helps the people who run higher education get their work done. Curriculum, research, compliance, and operations on one connected platform, with the AI built in, so approvals move and nothing falls between disconnected systems.
Kuali brings the work of higher education onto one platform—academic operations, research, institutional workflows, data, integrations, and AI—so people and, increasingly, AI agents can work from the same institutional foundation.
One trusted foundation with shared data, permissions, workflows, integrations, and governance, not separate products connected after the fact.
Academic, research, and administrative operations designed around the people, processes, and governance of higher
education.
Because AI operates inside the platform, it can understand your data, work within
permissions, create and change workflows,
and eventually coordinate work across
systems.
And Kuali is supportive by design. Its roots as a collaborative initiative shape how it partners today, a flexible platform and a team that evolves alongside you.

“AI took a six-page scanned PDF for a process we'd managed manually for years and turned it into an automated digital workflow in Kuali in about 10 minutes. Building it myself would have taken half a day.”
Institutional Systems Architect, Tarleton State University
The Agentic Campus doesn't replace the systems your institution already depends on. It connects them to a common platform where data, workflows, governance, AI, and eventually agents can work together.
An AI assistant can answer a question. An Agentic Campus has to do much more: understand institutional context, work with trusted data, respect permissions, follow workflows, interact with existing systems, take action, and leave behind an auditable record.
Academic operations, research administration, and university-wide workflows run on the same platform foundation. Each solution is purpose-built for its job without operating as an isolated product.
Curriculum, catalog, syllabi, degree audit, planning, and the workflows surrounding them.

Turn the forms, PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, approvals, and requests used across campus into governed digital workflows.
Today, use the AI Connector to build forms, workflows, and applications, or help you understand the work already happening.
And this is just the beginning. Soon, a prompt can become an ongoing instruction: an AI agent can run this report every Monday, watch for stalled approvals, or flag something that needs attention. This is AI with appropriate oversight. An agent prepares the work, your team approves it, and nothing reaches a student, a faculty member, or a system of record without that approval.

Kuali is API-first because the Agentic Campus has to work with the technology your institution already runs. Kuali Bridge connects workflows to systems such as your SIS, ERP, HR, LMS, identity providers, and data stores, so information moves into and out of Kuali without another manual handoff.
Platform data is available through a governed, queryable model designed for reporting, analytics, machine learning, and AI, so your analysts, applications, and eventually your agents work from the same information.
Changes become available in seconds rather than overnight batches.
Tables, columns, and joins are discoverable rather than guessed.
Connect Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or Excel over a standard connection.
Access stays controlled, auditable, and scoped appropriately.

Connecting applications is useful. Giving an AI assistant access to those applications is useful. But neither creates an Agentic Campus. For AI to safely perform institutional work, it needs more than access: trusted data, institutional context, permissions, workflows, governance, integrations, and an audit trail that follows every action.
The principle is simple: people and AI operate under the same institutional rules. An agent acts with the permissions of the person it represents and sees only what that person can see. Your existing approvals stay exactly where they are, your team signs off on the decisions that matter, and everything an agent does is recorded alongside your staff's activity.

Once the platform, data, governance, and AI layers come together, people stop navigating through systems to find the work and increasingly ask for the outcome.
Kuali identifies the work that needs attention.
Kuali creates the starting application and process.
Kuali analyzes governed institutional data and returns an answer you can inspect and verify.
Agents handle routine steps within defined permissions and stop where human judgment belongs.
The shift from software you operate to a platform that can increasingly operate with you.
As your Agentic Campus grows, Kuali AI Gateway gives IT a centralized way to govern how AI connects to institutional systems, data, and models.

Most software tells you what already happened. Kuali agents identify what still needs attention, handle routine administrative steps, and stop where human judgment belongs.
Surface work that is stalling while there is still time to act.
Identify items that could interrupt research, academic, or administrative work.
Prioritize open items so teams focus on the work carrying the greatest risk.
Show where work is accumulating across departments or teams.
Agents see what the person they represent can see.
Review, approval, and sign-off remain where your institution requires them.
Agent activity remains attributable and reviewable.
Choose where agents operate and how far they’re allowed to go.
AI woven throughout the Kuali platform to understand your institution, take action, and automate work.
Institution-wide governance, model access, data protection, usage controls, and AI cost management.
Connect AI to Kuali so it can securely find information and get work done using existing permissions and APIs.
Find, create, update, and manage work using natural language.
Ask questions of governed institutional data and receive source verified analysis and visualizations.
Operate within parameters you set, with human oversight built into every step.
Book a walkthrough, and we'll show you what your institution's operations look like when they work
together, with AI running inside the systems your teams already trust.
