Where students, faculty, and staff co-design practical AI tools to solve real challenges on campus
The AI Foundry is RIT's one-stop shop for homegrown AI tools. Built by interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty, Foundry solutions are designed to be expandable and user-friendly. We create people-first tools that enhance your existing team—not replace them.
Whether you're looking to streamline a workflow, pilot a new idea, or turn campus talent into powerful AI applications, the Foundry is where RIT builds what's next.
The work coming out of the RIT AI Foundry is driven by people. We're especially proud to highlight the outstanding contributions of our current student innovators: David Lusignan, Gregory Ojiem, Hunter Landolfi, and Neav Ziv. Their work on tools like TutorBot, AdvisorBot, and the Research Amplifier has been instrumental in translating ideas into action.
We're also thrilled to be co-managed by Visiting Scholar Tom Fuller, whose leadership and mentorship continue to elevate the impact and strategy behind Foundry projects.
The AI Foundry is not just where RIT builds tools—it's where we grow talent, leadership, and a culture of practical innovation.
