Technology should reach everyone.
ATI is a nonprofit. We build AI tools with schools, nonprofits, and community groups, and we train young people from those same communities to build them with us.
Kenya. Students and staff share Ryan's porridge at Light and Hope School.
Why we exist
New technology is usually built far from the people who need it most. Small nonprofits, schools, and young people in underserved communities are often the last to benefit.
We think that should change. So we bring practical AI into real places, with the people who live and work there, and we train them to keep building.
The people behind the work
Every project starts with a real problem and a named partner.
Kenya · Food access
From being served to serving others.
Porridge is an everyday food in Kenya, but making it isn't easy for everyone. With Ryan's Nutrifoods, students at Light and Hope School now prepare it right in the cup, including students who use one hand. About 150 people are supported each month.
Where the AI comes in: PHONIC is our voice-to-text tool for collecting surveys and data. Patients, students, teachers, and caregivers answer questions by talking to a device instead of typing, so people who find typing hard, or can’t type at all, can still share their experience. The result is more complete data and a fuller picture of the people a program serves.

Washington State · Alumni platform
Reconnecting generations of a football program.
The Bellevue High School Football Booster Club had no way to stay in touch with its alumni. We built a platform where anyone can look up an alum, read their story, and donate directly to current players. It has been live since September 2026.
