Symphony Classroom with Merlyn

The digital assistant designed for teachers

With so many tasks to juggle and so much technology in their classrooms, teachers need help to manage it all.

That’s where Merlyn comes in.

Merlyn is a digital assistant created with advanced AI technology that helps teachers perform routine actions and control their devices so they can focus on what matters most—their students.

How Merlyn works

Teachers access the power of Merlyn through Symphony Classroom, a complete education technology solution from Merlyn Mind that includes an AI hub, software platform, and remote control.

Teachers can say: “Hey Merlyn” from anywhere in the classroom and ask their digital assistant to perform a task, such as opening a presentation. They can use natural voice commands or the remote to control their devices, browsers, apps, and more.

Teaching untethered

Instead of being stuck at the front of the classroom, teachers are free to roam around and interact with their students, which leads to increased engagement, more class participation, and dynamic lessons.

Because Merlyn was created specifically for use in schools, it responds to the unique needs of teachers, complies with applicable U.S. privacy laws, and works with technology already found in the classroom. And Merlyn is so easy to use, teachers will be able to get started quickly.

Merlyn Mind’s approach to student data privacy

The team at Merlyn Mind understands the importance of protecting students’ and staff’s personal information and the responsibilities we have under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and applicable U.S. state student data privacy laws. At Merlyn Mind, we implement technical, administrative, and physical information security safeguards to help protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of personal information in our care.

Research shows Merlyn reduces stress and saves time

A recent study by the University of California, Irvine—one of the nation’s most respected research institutes—found that 51% of teachers using Merlyn reported an increase in teaching time savings and efficiency after seven weeks. Researchers noted that teachers were able to accomplish tasks in fewer steps and didn’t have to walk back to their computers to press keys.

The study also found that Merlyn cut technostress among teachers by 14% in just seven weeks. That’s a big deal when considering all of the new technology tools educators are expected to use on a daily basis.
