1 AI feature

AI that drafts, people who decide

Optional helpers that draft, summarise and suggest inside Lumora Gamely. They run on your own Anthropic Claude or OpenAI API key, and a person reviews the result before anything changes.

AI question writer

Drafts questions with answers, explanations, a skill tag and a difficulty level, which the teacher reviews before saving.

What problems does Gamely solve?

Teachers re-enter the same material for quizzes, flashcards, word games and worksheets. A question set is written once and plays in every game type that fits; the builder ranks the 20 templates by how many questions they can use.
Interest fades after the first quiz. XP, levels, daily streaks, badges, daily quests, teacher challenges, an avatar shop and class boss battles reward coming back.
Writing good questions takes hours. AI drafts up to 50 questions from a topic, pasted text or the school's own lesson files, including scans and recordings, for the teacher to check.
Scores have to be retyped into the LMS. LTI 1.3 and direct gradebook sync send scores to Canvas, Google Classroom, Blackboard or Moodle automatically.
Per-teacher subscriptions grow every year and keep data on the vendor's servers. Gamely is bought once and installed on the organization's own server, with no seat limits in the software.

Who uses Gamely, and for what?

Why it's different

What makes Lumora Gamely different

One question set, 20 games

Questions are stored apart from games, so a single set plays as Classic Quiz, Gameshow, Tower Defense, Gold Quest, Crossword, Map Quest, Spot It, Listen & Spell and more. The builder shows which templates fit.

Own it, host it, no seat count

Gamely installs on the organization's own server with a setup wizard, keeps files private behind short-lived links, and has no user, seat or plan limits in the code.

LMS, SSO and API without an upgrade

LTI 1.3 Advantage, gradebook sync to Canvas, Google Classroom and Blackboard, eight sign-on options including SAML, two-factor sign-in, a REST API and signed webhooks ship in every install.

A reward system, not just a podium

An XP and coins ledger, levels, streaks, 15 automatic badges, daily quests, teacher challenges, an avatar shop, class boss battles and rewards for teachers.

Your AI, or none at all

Pick from 13 AI providers per organization, including a private model on your own server through Ollama. Keys are encrypted. Without AI, questions can still be made from text and scans with built-in rules and free OCR.

Pairs well with Lumora Gamely

Each Lumora product is a separate purchase that works on its own. Linking two products is scoped as an integration request.
