Humy.ai Reviews from Teachers and Schools

“We enjoyed the program last year and used it frequently.”
“My students say it’s a welcome change of pace. I’m not a fan of the “sage on the stage” model, so I try to incorporate research-oriented and self-paced activities. With Humy, students have to take charge of their learning. They’ve become more adept at critical thinking, forming better questions, and improving their reading comprehension. The interview feature has been my go-to tool. I create assignments where students must ask historical figures a set number of questions, then summarize the responses to ensure they’re truly absorbing the material. This approach lets them actively explore the past rather than passively consuming information.”
“Humy has helped me bring historical figures, sometimes long past, to life. When my students interact with these figures in real-time, it eliminates some of the perceived “ancient” characteristics of my curriculum. This has shifted my students’ thinking away from viewing history as abstract or irrelevant. Real-time interactions make historical figures relatable, even allowing students to ask off-topic questions that help put historical lives in a more relevant context for 13-year-olds. The feature I use the most is the interview feature. After teaching a topic, most recently Gandhi and Joan of Arc, I have the students ask pointed, focused questions. We practice good conversation techniques beforehand, teaching them to listen (or read) carefully and formulate thoughtful follow-up questions rather than just interrogating. It helps students practice effective conversation skills.”
“Through Humy’s dynamic platform, students engage in inquiry-driven explorations, where they not only interact with historical personas but also unearth leads to primary and secondary documents.”
“Humy’s user-friendly platform has enhanced my students’ engagement and understanding of history. It helps them develop critical thinking and engage in insightful discussions.”
“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.”
“It was an immersive experience, and it provided me with answers that felt real according to the history of the people I talked to, as well as corresponding with the language used in the period of time they lived.”
“Unprecedented engagement! My students were so involved, they forgot about gym class, which never happens.”
“Woah!!! How did you get him to talk to us??? Is it really him?”
“It felt like I was actually talking to the person being discussed, since the answers they gave felt intelligent.”
“Social studies used to be my least favorite class but now I look forward to it because it's way more fun to learn about Ancient Greece when I can actually learn from the gods themselves.”
“The world religion collection blew us away. It’s worth every penny, and I’d fund it myself!”
“Humy revolutionizes education with personalized learning, tailored instruction, and enhanced student engagement. It fosters an interactive classroom, allowing hesitant students to confidently participate by engaging with historical figures like Frederick Douglass. Outstanding!”
“We are looking for reliable inferences from the largest possible amount of primary material (which none of us can process at once) to use as insights in the classroom, which we can scrutinize in the context at hand, whatever that context may be. We need the thinking of the historical personage, in their own terms.”
“I hoped that Humy would engage more students in the material. It has helped to this end, particularly in getting students who tend to be lazy with researching topics to go a little deeper. The ability to create debates has been the most useful aspect of Humy. With misuse of internet resources, it has become increasingly difficult to get kids engaged in higher-level thinking.”
“Humy saves me 4 hours per week on grading, and the feedback students receive is awesome. I really like it. I showed it to my principal, and he was blown away by it. The feedback part is really awesome.”
“We’re currently running a few-month pilot collaboration with Humy to explore how conversational AI can support a higher education learning environment. This initiative is designed not only to observe how a learning community interacts with a chatbot, but also to encourage users’ critical thinking in exchanges with such external tools and privately owned models linked to companies.”
“I like the program, and my students generally had positive feedback using it.”
“At Hyper Island, we believe in combining human development with emerging technology. Therefore, we are excited to see the collaboration between Humy.ai and our Product Manager students and how their platform will allow students to explore how AI can be integrated thoughtfully and strategically into real-world product contexts.”
“For young learners especially, the first task of a history teacher is to inspire interest. We’d argue that allowing them to chat with Lincoln will do that better than giving them a printed sheet of facts.”
