Interactive History Chats Without Student Accounts
Humy is the interactive historical chat platform built for K-12. Share a link or QR code and your class is talking to source-grounded historical figures in seconds. No logins, no roster sync, no student data collected.
Every student login is a privacy surface and a setup tax
A new account for every student is a row in a database, an exposure surface for a privacy officer to review, and thirty minutes a teacher does not have. It is also where most platforms meet their scalability challenges: the accounts, not the lessons, are what slow a district rollout to a crawl. Humy removes the account from the student side entirely, so the friction that kills a Tuesday pilot never shows up.
Share a link. Class is in session.
No apps to install and no accounts to create. Students start the moment a teacher shares a link, which is also the whole of the classroom management system integration: a link that drops into the tools you already run.
- Teachers share a web link or QR code; students open it and start a conversation
- No student accounts, emails, or passwords, and no personal data collected
- No Clever, ClassLink, or SSO integration to configure
- Embeds in Canvas, Google Classroom, and Schoology by link or iframe
- Works on any device with a browser, anonymously or with a name you require
Link or QR, anonymous or named
Teachers choose the access mode per activity.
Built for inquiry-based learning, not just easy access
Removing accounts is the logistics win. The reason to use Humy for K-12 history instruction is what happens inside the chat.
Source-grounded figures
Conversations are anchored in the documentary record, so a student who asks an AI Frederick Douglass where a claim came from can trace it back to primary sources like those in the Library of Congress rather than a runtime paraphrase.
Maps to the C3 inquiry arc
Interview, debate, simulation, and DBQ formats sit cleanly on the NCSS C3 Framework: a compelling question, source work, and a communicated conclusion.
Teacher keeps the controls
You set scope, reading level, and sources, and you own grading. See the full teacher control layer that comes with every chat.
Aligned with FERPA, built to pass the privacy review
Humy is aligned with FERPA and COPPA. Signed Data Privacy Agreements are available through the SDPC Resource Registry and TEC SDPA, and student data is never used to train AI models. With no student accounts, there is no student PII to expose in the first place. The full compliance picture lives on our for schools page.
A pilot on Monday can be a district by next month
There is nothing to install and no SSO to wire up. Teachers get accounts, students get links, and the same activity that worked in one classroom works across the district without a new procurement fight each time. When you are ready to compare options, the pricing page and the guide to AI for social studies lay out the rest.

Common questions
Do students need accounts to use Humy?
No. Teachers share an activity by link, QR code, or LMS-embedded iframe, and choose whether students join anonymously or enter a name. There are no student logins, emails, or passwords, and no roster sync.
How does Humy work with our LMS?
By link. Paste a Humy link into a Canvas, Google Classroom, or Schoology assignment, or embed it as an iframe, and the activity is live. There is no LTI provisioning project and no SSO setup required.
Is Humy FERPA compliant?
Humy is aligned with FERPA and COPPA. Signed Data Privacy Agreements are available through the SDPC Resource Registry and TEC SDPA, and student data is never used to train AI models.
How fast can a district roll out Humy?
Most districts are running within days. Because students access activities through teacher-shared links instead of provisioned accounts, a single-classroom pilot can scale district-wide without a new setup each time.
