KUALI CONNECTOR · PREVIEW

AI that doesn't just answer. It acts.

Kuali Connector securely connects AI tools like Claude, Codex, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot to your Kuali environment—giving AI the context and tools to find information, analyze operations, build applications, and complete work.

Which curriculum proposals are stuck waiting on the Dean's Office for more than 10 days?

I found 7 proposals sitting at the Dean's review step past your 10-day threshold. The oldest — BIO 4120 Ecology revision — has been there 23 days. Want me to list the approvers for each, or draft a nudge email?

What can you do?

Four ways to put Connector to work.

Kuali Connector turns natural-language requests into real work across Kuali. Use it across Research, Curriculum Management, Build, and more to find information, analyze workflows, build an app, import data, or run a report.

Prompt to Build

Turn documents and ideas into working Kuali apps and workflows.

“Build an app from this PDF.”
Prompt to Answers

Ask about documents, approvals, and workflow status across Kuali - get answers fast.

“Find proposals that are stuck.”
Prompt to Data

Put large datasets to work without tedious manual entry or processing.

“Import this data into Kuali.”
Prompt to Report

Turn Kuali data into useful reports, insights, and visualizations.

“Show submissions by month.”

One connection. Work across Kuali.

Connector gives your AI tools access to capabilities across the Kuali platform, so you can move between tasks without switching tools or starting from scratch.

How it works

From prompt to action, directly in Kuali.

SECURITY

Secure by design. You stay in control.

Connector doesn't expand what you can see or do in Kuali. Every request runs securely using the permissions associated with your Kuali API key.

Permissions stay in place

If you can't access something in Kuali, Connector can't access it either. It has the same permissions as the user.

Your API key stays on your machine

Credentials are securely stored in your operating system's credential manager and aren't shared with your AI provider.

Choose read-only access

Enable read-only mode for searching and analysis, without tools that create, update, submit, approve, delete, or import.

Keep an audit trail

Connector uses the same Kuali APIs, so activity stays tied to the user and captured in the audit log.

QUICK FACTS
Runs locally

Connector runs on your computer, creating a direct connection between your AI tool and Kuali.

Works with your access

Connector uses your existing Kuali permissions. It doesn't create a new level of access.
