Overview

Merlyn is a digital AI assistant designed for enhancing educative experience. Specifically targeting the pedagogical sector, Merlyn aims to streamline the use of technology inside classrooms and thereby, ease the work of educators.

It facilitates teachers with verbal control over classroom technology and provides a private and secure means to access information. Designed within the parameters of educational contexts, Merlyn's generative AI chat fosters students' curiosity and advances their cognitive thinking, paired with the assurance of privacy, safety and security.

Merlyn also maximizes flexibility and promotes teacher-student interaction by establishing an environment that deemphasizes the overuse of screens. It functions from classroom front-end displays to internet applications with its ability to be controlled from anywhere in the room through voice or remote, helping to save teacher's time and reduce the technological gap in classrooms.

With its privacy assurance, Merlyn promises not to sell personal information, retain voice audio post-processing or employ voice audio for identification purposes.

By helping to bridge diverse learning needs and manage multiple devices and distractions, Merlyn serves as a vital accomplice in the modern-day teaching milieu.
