Brimeo
Brimeo provides AI office hours for university courses, enabling students to have live video conversations with an AI professor that is grounded in the course's own lectures, readings, and assignments. The AI answers out loud, offers hints rather than solutions on graded work, and points students back to the specific lecture and timestamp for each answer. It runs entirely in the browser with no installation required for students or IT teams.

Problem
University students often struggle with course material outside of scheduled office hours, leaving them without timely access to their professors. Late-night study sessions, weekends, and the night before exams are common times when students need help but have no one to ask, leading to frustration and incomplete understanding of the material.
Solution
Brimeo gives each course its own AI office hours: a live video call with an AI professor, available at any hour, grounded in the course's own lectures. Students open a link, allow their microphone, and talk naturally—half-formed questions are fine. The AI professor answers out loud, on video, in seconds, using the professor's own analogies, phrasing, and pace. Every answer is grounded in the course's lectures, readings, and assignments, with a link back to the specific source and approximate timestamp. On graded work, it asks what the student has tried and gives the smallest hint that helps, rather than handing over the answer.
Target Audience
Primary customers are universities and faculty members who want to provide their students with round-the-clock, course-grounded academic support that feels like real office hours.
