ali@benieducation.comWhy We Built Beni
Schools were deploying AI without the tools to govern it responsibly. Teachers didn't know what data was being collected. Administrators couldn't track compliance. Students had no say in how AI shaped their education. We built Beni to give every district the infrastructure they need to make AI work for their community - safely, transparently, and with educators in the driver's seat.
