What teachers are saying

"Luminary replaced three separate tools I was using. The live polls mid-lecture are game-changing — I can see exactly where students are struggling in real time."

"The AI feature saved me 4 hours last week. I uploaded my lecture notes and got a full 20-slide deck with speaker notes — properly structured, not just a dump of bullets."

"My students love the session codes. They're engaged from minute one — not scrolling their phones. The word cloud questions create genuinely fascinating whole-class discussions."
