Enhancing memory and understanding by organizing and visualizing
Ace+ by Lumen
A first of its kind software for K12 students that answer questions by autonomously generating animated videos to show the core ideas visually.
Understanding and reliability is enabled by
A Colorful Graph of Knowledge Legos. Try it!
Ideas are built from ideas. We allow users to upload or select text books to guide the lesson. This is used to customize a hidden knowledge graph. The hierarchy and composition of this graph is used to design correct animations that are understood by the user.
Element Manipulation
Dynamic Diagrams
Scene Planning
Documentation Retrieval
State Management
Agentic Debugging
LaTeX Rendering
Growing Suite of Tools built for AI
We design and modify tools so that they can be used by AI. We put AI in an environment where, by learning to use these tools more effectively, it turns its understanding into animated videos that are correct, easy to understand, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Lumen Flow In Action
Don't break your flow. Copy information in any application on your computer and ask a question in the popup that shows up. Toggle underlying intelligence between OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google by clicking a button.
Ace+
enables AI to use our toolkit to make longer explanations automatically and get better over time
Coming to K12
We are working to make Ace+ accessible to K12 students, rolling out invites in Spring/ Summer of 2025 in Toronto, Canada.
The Team.
We are a team of Computer Scientists from University of Waterloo and the University of California San Diego, currently researching at Toronto Metropolitan University, that are passionate about teaching.
​
Students fail because of low resolution understanding of the core concepts and disorganized revision methods. With generative AI, we have the tools to fix the root of this problem at scale and we are working to bring this tool to students across North America.
