New Client Announcement: Project Read AI

by Kaiden Gray

About Project Read AI:

Project Read AI empowers teachers and students with AI-powered tools rooted in the science of reading. Their mission is to close literacy gaps with accessible tools that allow teachers to deliver high-quality structured literacy instruction.

About the relationship:

The first time Vivek Ramakrishnan, founder of Project Read AI, explored working with Edlink, Project Read AI ended up saying “no” and decided to focus on other areas of their business.

Fast-forward nearly a year, and with new rollouts in motion and rapid growth in advance of the next school year, Project Read AI found themselves ready to move beyond their original, CSV-based mechanisms for onboarding districts.

Project Read AI didn’t want to build and maintain one-off integrations with tools like Clever, ClassLink, and Google Classroom. They also wanted to continue their bottom-up growth model while supporting enterprise-level clients who expect automated and flexible integration options.

Project Read AI began to evaluate their options for district onboarding at scale and found Edlink’s streamlined solutions to be the perfect fit for their lean team’s needs. As Vivek put it:

“We create free and hyper-affordable tools that move the needle for kids. Edlink’s self-serve options for district IT allow us to scale our accessibility-driven model without adding unnecessary overhead internally. The Edlink team’s expertise and thoughtful approach at each step made them the ideal partner.”

Project Read AI also listed some key reasons that impacted their selection process:

  • Developer-friendly documentation and a smooth technical evaluation
  • Strong, thoughtful communication during the technical deep dive
  • Self-serve onboarding tools that empower IT admins
  • The ability to combine SSO from Clever with roster enrichment from other data sources
  • Confidence in the team and a vision for a lasting partnership
  • Pricing that worked for their stage and scale

Now, with Edlink, Project Read AI hopes to:

  • Deliver seamless SSO and rostering at scale
  • Support district-level automation without compromising their startup agility
  • Onboard learning institutions in 5 minutes, replacing error-prone spreadsheets with smooth and secure workflows

With Edlink, Project Read AI can focus on delivering powerful, literacy-enhancing experiences instead of building out integrations one by one.
