Education’s Next Chapter is AI-Powered

Our story
Education is at a turning point. For too long, schools have been forced to rely on outdated systems that slow them down, create administrative burden, and limit what’s possible for teachers and students. We believe that AI has the potential to fundamentally transform learning, making it more personalized, more efficient, and more engaging.
We started Kira Learning to build an AI-native learning platform - one that empowers educators, accelerates student learning, and streamlines school operations. Our goal is simple: to create a platform that feels effortless to use and truly moves education forward.
What began as an ambitious vision has grown into a powerful AI-driven learning system that helps schools, teachers, and students do more with less friction. Today, we work with leading schools and districts across the country, equipping them with AI tools that adapt, automate, and enhance the entire learning experience.

We believe in focus, speed, and quality.
Kira is built by a team that cares deeply about technology and education, and the intersection of the two. We are designers, engineers, educators, and operators who believe in moving fast, executing with excellence, and crafting tools that are powerful yet intuitive.
Our team works out of offices in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles - what unites us is a relentless focus on quality and impact. We are all builders at heart, and we’re committed to making AI in education actually work - not just as a buzzword, but as a true force for progress.
