Kuali AI Gateway

Software for the Future of Campus AI

Your institution is already using AI. Departments, researchers, and developers are all running their own API keys with zero oversight. Kuali AI Gateway gives you centralized control, compliance, and cost visibility — without slowing anyone down.

The Problem

Shadow AI Is Already on Your Campus

Ungoverned AI creates compliance risk, budget surprises, and security blind spots. Every month you wait, more institutional data flows to more unvetted providers through more unmonitored channels.

You Can't Govern What You Can't See

No visibility into what data is leaving your institution, which providers are receiving it, or whether any of it contains student records protected under FERPA.

You Can't Budget What You Can't Measure

Departments experimenting on their own credit cards. No institutional view of total AI spend. When the CFO asks how much you're spending on AI, the answer is "we don't know."

You Can't Scale What You Can't Manage

Duplicated effort, inconsistent security, no failover when providers go down, and no ability to negotiate volume discounts. You're paying retail across dozens of separate accounts.

The Solution

One Gateway for All Campus AI

Kuali AI Gateway is a single, centralized layer between every AI user at your institution and every AI provider they use. Every request is logged, governed, and accounted for — without changing how anyone works.

Faculty, staff, and applications connect through virtual API keys. The gateway routes requests to the right provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock — transparently.

Users don't change how they work. They just point their tools at a different endpoint. You get full visibility, budget controls, and compliance — automatically.

Full Visibility

Every API call logged with user, department, model, token count, and cost. Real-time dashboards drillable from campus level to individual requests.

Budget Controls

Set AI budgets at institution, college, department, or user level. Budgets cascade with hard limits, soft alerts, and academic calendar alignment.

FERPA Compliance

Automatic PII detection and redaction before data reaches any provider. Consent tracking, retention policies, and immutable audit logs built in.

Institutional SSO

SAML 2.0, Shibboleth, and InCommon federation. No new accounts. Access governed by the same identity systems you already trust.

Intelligent Routing

Automatic failover, load balancing, and cost-based routing across providers. Users never see an outage — the gateway handles it silently.

Guardrails

Content filtering, prompt injection detection, and policy enforcement set at the institutional level. Departments can add restrictions but can't remove them.

Why Kuali

Purpose-Built for Higher Education

No existing AI gateway serves higher education's specific needs. We built the one that does.

High Risk

vs. Doing Nothing

The status quo isn't "no AI" — it's ungoverned AI. Compliance risk compounds monthly. When something goes wrong, there's no audit trail.

Dev-Only

vs. LiteLLM / Open Source

No FERPA compliance, no SAML or Shibboleth SSO, no higher-ed org structure, no academic calendar budgeting. General-purpose multi-tenancy and budgets exist, but you'd build the higher-ed layer yourself.

Overkill

vs. Kong / Apigee

Now offering AI gateway features, but still built for platform engineering teams. No FERPA compliance, no academic calendar budgeting, no institutional admin experience.

Partial

vs. Direct Provider Deals

Solves one vendor at a time. Doesn't give you cross-provider visibility, unified governance, or the ability to route based on cost, performance, or policy.

What if I'm not part of a higher education system?

While we built Kuali AI Gateway specifically for higher education, the same governance challenges exist in government, healthcare, and large nonprofits. If your organization needs centralized AI management, compliance enforcement, and cost visibility — let's talk.

Get Started

AI Adoption Isn't Slowing Down

The only question is whether it happens with governance or without it. Get early access and bring visibility, compliance, and budget control to your institution's AI usage.
