Stemuli was founded with a simple belief: every learner deserves an education as engaging as the games they play. Today, we are pioneering the world's first AI-native learning platform, where a personalized AI companion guides each student through quests in a living, multiplayer city.
Our platform merges immersive video games with AI to strengthen math skills, teach AI literacy, and open career pathways that lead to higher wages and meaningful futures. We are proving that education can be as engaging as the games students already love.
We're backed by Stride Learning and the Gates Foundation. Recognized by the United Nations for "AI for Good." Stemuli is transforming education into a lifelong, game-powered journey, starting in the U.S. and expanding globally.
