Nairobi, Kenya — September 11, 2025:
In a groundbreaking move set to reshape higher education in East Africa, Daystar University, a leading private Christian liberal arts institution in Kenya, has joined forces with MindHYVE.ai, an innovator in artificial intelligence (AI). Together, they are integrating MindHYVE's ArthurAI platform to deliver a personalized, scalable, and transformative learning experience across Daystar’s academic ecosystem.
This partnership addresses key challenges faced by over 500,000 students in Kenya, who often struggle with access, personalization, and academic success. By becoming one of the first universities in East Africa to embed AI at scale, Daystar University is not only revolutionizing its educational environment but also setting a global precedent for how AI can improve higher education in the region.
ArthurAI, MindHYVE’s agentic AI platform, aims to enhance learning outcomes across multiple facets of the educational process. One of its key advantages is its ability to significantly reduce the time required for curriculum preparation, thereby freeing up faculty members to focus more on mentoring students, conducting research, and fostering innovation. This reduction in administrative workload is expected to have a profound impact on both teaching efficiency and the overall academic experience.
The platform also delivers adaptive learning pathways that dynamically adjust the curriculum to the individual needs of each student. By evaluating a student's cognitive profile, learning style, and pace, ArthurAI ensures that every learner receives content tailored to their unique learning needs, providing a more personalized and effective education.
Additionally, ArthurAI offers predictive analytics to identify students who are at risk of underperforming early in the academic term. This capability will allow faculty and staff to intervene proactively and provide targeted support, ultimately improving retention rates and student success. Furthermore, the platform offers multilingual capabilities in over 10 languages, an essential feature in Kenya’s multilingual landscape, ensuring that students from diverse linguistic backgrounds have equal access to learning.
ArthurAI's mobile-first design, coupled with its offline functionality, also ensures that students can access their coursework anytime and anywhere, even in regions with limited internet connectivity. This is particularly crucial for Daystar University, as it extends learning beyond the physical classroom and provides equitable access to students regardless of their geographical location or access to resources.
Professor Martha Kiarie, Dean of the School of Science, Engineering, and Health at Daystar University, highlighted the transformative potential of the partnership. "ArthurAI will fundamentally change the way we educate our students," she said. "By leveraging the power of adaptive intelligence, we are now able to offer personalized support for every student, helping them thrive in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven global economy."
The partnership between Daystar University and MindHYVE.ai marks a critical milestone in the adoption of AI in African higher education. According to Bill Faruki, CEO and Founder of MindHYVE.ai, "ArthurAI is not just a concept; it’s a proven platform already delivering tangible results. This collaboration with Daystar allows us to demonstrate how African universities can leapfrog outdated systems, adopt scalable AI solutions, and lead the world in responsible AI education."
The rollout of ArthurAI at Daystar University will begin with select departments this semester, with plans to expand to the entire academic community in the coming months. The university will monitor the impact of the platform through quarterly reviews, which will assess student engagement, faculty adoption, and institutional outcomes, ensuring that the platform continues to evolve and deliver maximum benefit.
This partnership has the potential to serve as a model for other universities across Africa, enabling them to overcome persistent challenges in education such as access, engagement, and retention. It also provides an example of how AI can be used responsibly to enhance education, ensuring that students are better prepared for the demands of a rapidly changing global economy.
By embracing ArthurAI, Daystar University is not just adopting cutting-edge technology; it is also demonstrating a commitment to preparing its students for the future of work, where AI and technology will be central to nearly every industry. With its focus on personalized learning, predictive analytics, and accessible education, this partnership is setting a new standard for AI-powered higher education across Africa, positioning Daystar University as a leader in transforming the educational experience for students on the continent and beyond.
