The successor to Illuminate · From N2N Services & LightLeapAIAs Illuminate Sets,
Helios Rises.
Fifteen years ago we built Illuminate so higher education could finally share its data on its own terms. Today we're retiring that chapter — and replacing it with something we've been quietly building for the last month. Helios is the integration platform reborn for the AI First era: API-first, AI-Powered, Agent-native, Audit-by-default, Secure-by-Design and ready for the composable enterprise.

From our marketing team
A 60-second take on why we're rebuilding.
Higher education has been wrestling with the same data-portability problem for a generation. Helios is the answer we've been quietly building — and our marketing team made a quick film to explain why it matters.
- Why every institution's data should flow, not gatekeep.
- How LightLeapAI is leading the leap.
- What Helios changes about the integration playbook.
Why we rebuiltIlluminate proved that integration belonged to everyone.
Illuminate proved that integration belonged to everyone.
Helios is what comes next.
Illuminate (2010 — 2026)
A turnkey API platform for higher ed.
Illuminate Photon, Wave, and Spectrum let business users publish APIs over Banner, Colleague, PeopleSoft, and the rest — without programmers, without expensive middleware, in minutes instead of months. It worked. It still works.
- 208 APIs live across 9 institutions
- 11M+ transactions served at peak
- 15 years of compliance-grade uptime
Helios (2026 — )
An agent platform that ships APIs and ships agents.
Helios keeps every promise Illuminate made — fast, secure, turnkey API publishing — and then takes the next step. Every API becomes a step in an Arazzo-native agent pipeline. Every pipeline is governed, audited, and explainable. Every customer ships the integrations and the agents that move on top of them.
- Arazzo-native deterministic pipelines
- Claude on Bedrock for every reasoning step
- FERPA, GLBA, SOC 2 aligned from line one
The platform
Seven pillars. One platform. Zero compromise.
Helios isn't a chatbot bolted to a database. It's a complete integration and agent platform — built on the same connect-anything-to-anything mission N2N has run on since 2010, now with the AI layer customers needed all along.
01
Connect anything to anything
Our core mission since 2010 — fifteen years before Helios shipped. Banner, Workday, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Anthology, Ellucian SaaS, custom databases, Excel uploads, REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and the legacy XML that still runs your transcript office. Every connector N2N has ever built — inherited by Helios as the substrate every agent stands on. The AI is what we add on top; integration is the ground we never stopped owning.
02
Agent Dashboard
Status, runs, errors, and latency for every agent in your tenant — card or list view, sortable, filterable, exportable.
03
Agent Studio
Four-step wizard — Identity, Pipeline, Triggers, Governance — built on the open Arazzo orchestration spec. Sandbox before you ship.
04
API Builder
Build, integrate, and monitor APIs from one workspace. Start with hundreds of catalogued higher-ed APIs as your library, author new ones OpenAPI-first, integrate them into agents and pipelines in one click, and watch the runtime telemetry the moment they ship.
05
API Logs
Traffic, errors, latency, and trace-level detail per request. Group by API, filter by status, drill into a single failure.
06
Admin Console
Users, roles, audit log, security policies, account filters, and institutional proxying — everything an enterprise admin expects.
07
Guest Experience
Start building without an account. Helios meets first-time users with a Perplexity-style prompt, scoped tools, and inline signup — zero friction, full audit trail.

Helios in production, today.
Six screens from the live Helios platform. The guest experience is one click away.
Agent Studio
Arazzo-native pipelines, built without code
Drag API steps, transforms, and decisions onto a deterministic Arazzo pipeline. Every input mapping, every output, every retry — declared, versioned, and reviewable.
API Builder
Build, integrate, and monitor from one workspace
Start with hundreds of APIs catalogued across Ellucian, Workday, Anthology, Oracle, and more — with method, auth, version, source institution, and "Certified vs Local" provenance baked into every card. Author new ones OpenAPI-first, wire any of them into an agent in one click, and watch live telemetry the moment they ship.
API Logs
Every transaction, accountable by default
Real-time traffic, success rate, error volume, and p50 latency across your tenant. Drill into a single API, an error spike, or a failed step — and see exactly what Helios saw.
Execution Traces
Step-by-step trace for every run
When something goes wrong, the answer is one click away. Helios persists every pipeline step — input resolution, HTTP status, latency, error — so you debug in minutes, not days.
Admin & Security
RBAC and audit, built for regulated enterprises
Granular roles for Studio, Library, Logs, and Console. Immutable audit log of every administrative action. FERPA-aware. SOC 2-aligned. Day-one ready for the institutions that hold us to the highest bar.
From Illuminate to Helios
A migration we have planned carefully.
We will not strand a single Illuminate customer. Every workspace, every API, every scheduled job has a defined successor in Helios — and a defined timeline to get there.
01
Audit
We inventoried every Illuminate workspace, API, scheduled job, and integration partner. Nothing was sunsetted without a successor.
02
Mirror
Helios was built API-first to match Illuminate's surface area — Photon, Wave, and Spectrum workloads all have a direct Helios equivalent.
03
Cutover
Customers move on their timeline. Existing Illuminate tenants stay supported through their contract term while Helios becomes the default for every new institution.
Our promise: Existing Illuminate tenants remain fully supported through the term of their current contract. Cutover happens on your schedule — not ours.
What's new
The Helios changelog — shipped weekly.
We don't do annual "releases" with marketing windows. Helios ships every week, and every change is published — engineering notes, release notes, the works.
Guest experience + Bedrock reliability
First-time visitors can now land on helios.lightleap.ai and start a real Integration Builder conversation with no signup. Bedrock client timeouts retuned for 64K-token Sonnet generations.
Helios logo refresh
New brand mark — a stylized sun wrapping a compass dial — rolled across in-app UI, favicons, and the new helios.lightleap.ai landing.
Integration Builder — 7-step workflow
IB now walks builders through intent → research → systems → blueprint → mapping → pipeline → review with knowledge-verification trust scoring at every step.
Skills KB framework
Skills are now versioned, evaluated, and audit-logged. Every agent action traces back to a named skill — no more "the LLM just decided."
IB Phase 4 — intent + cost ledger
Per-tenant cost ledger across Bedrock, web research, and tool execution. Caps, alerts, and a chargeback-ready export.
Fabric M5 — audit writer + persistence substrate
Compile-time audit writers and a persistence substrate that survives process restarts and session migration. Built for the regulated enterprise.
