ARCHIVE LENS AI
Turn Complex Historical Records into Clear, Meaningful Insights
ArchiveLens AI is an AI-powered primary source interpretation tool designed to help students, educators, families, and researchers understand U.S. military history records with clarity, context, and confidence.
Built by the Learning AI Institute, ArchiveLens AI goes beyond simple summaries. It helps users interpret historical documents, identify what is known and unknown, and apply responsible AI practices through the LAIR framework: Literacy, Application, Interpretation, and Responsibility.
What ArchiveLens AI Does
✔ Makes Difficult Records Understandable
Transforms complex military documents—such as service records, reports, letters, and pension files—into clear, plain-English explanations.
✔ Builds Historical Context
Connects individual records to broader events, timelines, and military history so users understand not just what happened, but why it matters.
✔ Supports AI Literacy (LAIR-Aligned)
Teaches users how to critically evaluate AI-generated insights, distinguish fact from interpretation, and responsibly verify information.
✔ Creates Meaningful Service Stories
Generates respectful, human-centered narratives that help families, students, and educators connect with the people behind the records.
✔ Guides Further Research
Suggests next steps, additional records, and archival sources to continue deeper historical or genealogical investigation.

SCOREBOOK ANALYTICS
LAIR-Powered Scorebook Analytics for Coaches, Teams, and Travel Ball Organizations
Seams & Downs Scorebook Analytics helps coaches turn paper scorebooks into verified, coach-ready data. Upload baseball or softball scorebook pages, confirm the plays, and generate batting analytics that can be shared with coaches, parents, and athletes.
Built through the LAIR Framework — Literacy, Application, Interpretation, and Responsibility — this tool helps teams understand data, apply it to real games, interpret trends over time, and use youth athlete information responsibly.
Turn Paper Scorebooks Into Actionable Data
Most coaches already have valuable information sitting inside their scorebooks. Seams & Downs helps unlock that information by converting game records into clean, organized analytics.
What coaches can do:
- Upload scorebook pages for one completed game
- Include home and away pages as one game
- Verify plays before stats are calculated
- Track batting analytics
- Export CSV reports
- Share parent-friendly game summaries
- Create coach callouts and player highlights
- View trends as more games are added
Built for Travel Ball
Travel teams may play four to six games in a weekend and dozens of games across a season. Seams & Downs is designed to support that reality.
One game gives you a box score.
Three games start showing trends.
A travel season tells the development story.
Share Data With Parents and Athletes
Coaches can turn verified scorebook data into parent-friendly updates, player callouts, and screen-ready reports.
Use Seams & Downs to highlight:
- Team effort
- Player growth
- Quality at-bats
- Hustle plays
- Improvement over time
- Development goals for the next game or practice
Stats should support learning, not label young athletes. That is why Seams & Downs connects directly to LAIR’s focus on responsible AI use.
