Swedish Learning Awards — with Berghs School of Communication, for “Cutter”

I introduced Humy as part of my student project and was surprised by the high level of engagement from my students. It added completely new dimensions to the project.

Why faculty choose Humy — § 1, § 2

Built for the wayyour department actually teaches.

§ 1 — For faculty

A classroom tool, not a chatbot.

  1. § 1.1

    Figures grounded in primary sources

    Every Humy is built from biographies, transcripts, scholarly references, and your own uploaded materials. Responses include inline citations students can trace back to the document.

  2. § 1.2

    Five assignment formats out of the box

    Interview a figure live, debate a panel of up to ten, run a historical simulation, or set short answer and essay prompts — including DBQ, LEQ, FRQ, and SAQ — all generated and auto-graded against your rubric.

    DBQ · LEQ · FRQ · SAQ

  3. § 1.3

    Custom personas tied to your syllabus

    Upload course readings, lecture notes, and primary sources. Spin up discipline-specific Humies for your seminar — your team has already created 20,000+ custom figures this way.

  4. § 1.4

    Live voice calls with figures

    Students can place a real-time voice call with any Humy. Useful for oral history practice, mock interviews, and developing inquiry skills under live pressure.

  5. § 1.5

    Multiple versions of the same figure

    Publish a graduate-seminar edition, an intro-survey edition, and a public-engagement edition of the same Humy — each with its own reading level, instructions, and language — running in parallel.

  6. § 1.6

    Rich responses, ready for the classroom

    Markdown answers with images, math formulas, and tables. Text-to-speech available on every response. Designed for the way your discipline actually communicates.

§ 2 — For department leadership

Deployable across an institution.

  1. § 2.1

    LMS-ready and embeddable

    Works with Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. Embed Humy in course pages by iframe, share a direct link, or print a QR code for lecture hall access.

  2. § 2.2

    Conversation logs & exports

    Full transcripts for every student, searchable in the dashboard. Export as PDF or CSV. Useful for academic integrity review and for studying how students engage with material.

  3. § 2.3

    Enterprise auth, including SSO

    Email, Google, Apple, and Microsoft sign-in for faculty by default. SSO with school and enterprise accounts available on request, via Auth0 by Okta.

  4. § 2.4

    Privacy by design

    FERPA and GDPR aligned. Student access is anonymous by default — no accounts, no emails, no passwords required. Student data is never used for AI training.

Use cases — § 3

Designed for every humanities department.

  1. I.

    History & Social Studies

    Students interview AI versions of historical figures grounded in primary sources. Build DBQ assignments where students cross-reference Humy's responses against course readings, or set a debate between figures from opposing camps.

    Example activities

    Civil War perspectives · Cold War diplomacy · oral history practice

  2. II.

    Political Science

    Simulate debates between political theorists and world leaders. Students analyse contrasting ideologies through direct dialogue with figures representing different traditions.

    Example activities

    Constitutional convention sims · UN Security Council role-play

  3. III.

    Literature & Humanities

    Bring authors and critics into the seminar room. Students discuss themes, historical context, and creative process directly with the writers they're studying — at the reading level you set.

    Example activities

    Author interviews · period analysis · philosophical dialogues

  4. IV.

    Schools of Education

    Pre-service teachers learn to design AI-enhanced lesson plans. Model integration of primary source engagement into K-12 curricula using Humy's assignment builder and rubric editor.

    Example activities

    Methods courses · student-teaching prep · ed-tech seminars

Built for academic standards — § 4

Rigor and innovationin the same instrument.

Every feature is shaped by what your institution already requires of its faculty: sourceable, auditable, and accessible.

  1. i.

    Verified source material

    Every figure is built on curated primary documents and scholarly references your team selects. Inline citations let students audit every claim.

  2. ii.

    Faculty controls, by version

    Set reading level, language, learning objectives, and additional instructions per Humy version. The same figure can teach undergraduates and graduate students differently.

  3. iii.

    Transcripts for integrity review

    Every student conversation is logged in full. Search, filter, and export as PDF or CSV. Optional copy-paste lockdown during graded assignments.

  4. iv.

    50+ languages for global cohorts

    International students engage in their preferred language while the figure stays historically accurate. Voice and text supported in every language.
