What is Founder's Frequency?

History, reanimated

Founder's Frequency is a civic education app built by Wright State University's Center for Civics, Culture and Workforce Development. Using advanced AI, students and faculty can have real conversations with AI representations of America's founding fathers — each with authentic personality, historical context, and documented beliefs.

Whether you're debating the Constitution with James Madison or asking Benjamin Franklin about modern innovation, Founder's Frequency makes civics tangible, personal, and unforgettable.

Beyond chat, the app features an AI-generated media library of podcasts and videos exploring the founding era — all produced by the Department's research initiative.

Vision & Mission

Built for civic minds

Our Mission

Founder's Frequency exists to make civic education accessible, engaging, and deeply personal. We believe that when students can hold a conversation with the people who shaped democracy, history stops being abstract and starts being urgent.

Our Vision

A Wright State student who understands the founding era understands the present. Our vision is a campus where civic literacy isn't a checkbox — it's a living dialogue, powered by technology and grounded in scholarship.
