Muyu App

An AI-powered app providing a mentor in every teacher's pocket to bridge the feedback gap.

Muyu is an AI-powered app bridging the "feedback gap" in LatAm, where only 2% of teachers receive coaching. By analyzing classroom audio, Muyu provides every teacher with a personalized "mentor in their pocket," delivering weekly actionable feedback. This scalable solution eliminates video friction, reduces burnout, and gives leaders real-time visibility to transform classroom outcomes.

Target group
We envision democratizing pedagogical excellence by eliminating the "feedback gap" that leaves millions of teachers unsupported. By putting a "mentor in every teacher's pocket," Muyu transforms professional development from sporadic evaluations into a culture of continuous, personalized micro-coaching. This shift empowers educators to become more reflective practitioners, directly improving student outcomes and fostering equitable learning environments. Ultimately, we aim to open the "black box" of the classroom, providing school leaders with real-time visibility and teachers with the actionable feedback they deserve to ensure every student is taught by an educator who is continuously growing.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

In Latin America, a critical "feedback gap" undermines educational quality. While teacher performance is the single most influential factor in student learning, only 2% of teachers in the region receive consistent, high-quality pedagogical coaching. Traditional professional development relies on manual, in-person observations that are logistically impossible to scale and financially unsustainable for most institutions.
This creates a systemic "black box": school leaders are overwhelmed by administrative tasks and have zero real-time visibility into classroom interactions. Without data-driven support, teaching practices remain stagnant, and educators lack the tools to adapt to modern demands. This challenge is global, as schools everywhere face teacher burnout, high turnover, and the prohibitive costs of specialized coaching.
We created Muyu to democratize professional development. By putting an "AI mentor in every teacher’s pocket," we transform the classroom into a source of actionable data. Our goal is to ensure that 100% of staff—not just a privileged few—receive the personalized support they need to improve student outcomes in a scalable, privacy-conscious, and cost-effective way.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Muyu digitizes and scales pedagogical coaching through a seamless four-step process designed to eliminate friction and build sustainable habits:

Classroom Capture: Teachers record their lessons using only audio via their smartphones. This audio-only approach is a key differentiator, as it eliminates the legal, ethical, and psychological barriers often associated with video recording in schools.

AI Analysis: Our proprietary models transcribe and analyze the session based on proven pedagogical methodologies. The AI identifies specific patterns in teacher-student interactions that are often invisible to the naked eye.

The "Muyu" Feedback: To prevent information overload, the AI delivers one "Muyu" per week—a bite-sized, actionable technique that the teacher can implement immediately. This micro-learning approach ensures that professional growth becomes a manageable, weekly habit rather than a sporadic, overwhelming event.

Institutional Dashboard: While teachers receive private coaching, school leaders gain access to an anonymized dashboard. This provides real-time metrics and automated reports across the entire faculty, allowing for data-driven decision-making without micro-managing.

By automating the observation cycle that humans cannot perform manually, Muyu ensures 100% of staff receive personalized support. This transforms the "black box" of the classroom into a transparent environment of continuous improvement.

How has it been spreading?

Muyu Education is currently in the consolidation stage, featuring proven operational stability. Our AI-driven ecosystem has successfully moved beyond early validation to become a highly scalable regional solution.

Key achievements to date include:

International Recognition: Winner of the GESAwards LATAM, positioning Muyu as one of the most innovative EdTechs in the region.

Scientific Validation: Presented a research paper at the IFE Conference (Tec de Monterrey) and was exclusively invited to their IFE Launch accelerator.

Institutional Support: Awarded by Startup-Chile and the "Efecto Colectivo" fund, enabling the development of our intellectual property and international expansion.

Strategic Positioning: Featured speakers at the Universidad Católica de Chile Summit, consolidating alliances with major educational leaders in the continent.

Our roadmap for the next 12–24 months focuses on:

Advanced R&D: Implementing high-precision pedagogical analysis.

Hybrid Scalability: Launching APIs for automatic integration with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.

Engagement: Deploying an advanced gamification system to incentivize continuous teacher improvement and longitudinal feedback.

B2B Expansion: Solidifying our presence in Ecuador and Chile, and expanding into Mexico and Peru.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

We are currently undergoing a strategic pivot to transition from a service-oriented model to a scalable technology product. Originally, Muyu operated through Muyu LAB, a high-touch consulting model focused on intensive teacher coaching and manual implementation support. While this phase was essential to validate our methodology and build institutional credibility, we identified that human-dependent consulting limited our ability to scale efficiently across different regions and school networks.

To solve this, we developed Muyu App, a lightweight, AI-driven SaaS solution. This pivot allows us to deliver continuous, automated feedback to teachers without requiring intensive human intervention. The transition has resulted in faster sales cycles, lower implementation friction, and a significantly reduced cost per teacher. This shift ensures that our proven pedagogical impact can now reach thousands of educators simultaneously, moving from a localized consulting firm to a global EdTech ecosystem.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

Schools and educational leaders interested in implementing Muyu can start by visiting our website at muyueducation.com and clicking the "Start Free Trial" button. This will direct you to our scheduling page, where you can book a 30-minute web conference with a member of our team.During this introductory session, we will:
1. Get to know your institution: Discuss your specific pedagogical goals and needs.
2. Account Setup: We will manually input your data and create your institutional credentials to grant you immediate access to the platform.
3. Guidance: We will provide the necessary instructions for your teachers to download the app and begin their coaching journey.We invite all members of the HundrED community to reach out through this process to explore how AI-powered coaching can transform their classrooms.

Implementation steps

Contacting Muyu and Enrolling Your Teaching Staff
Once you decide to implement Muyu, you simply contact our team to provide a list of the teachers who will be participating. We take care of the technical setup, ensuring each educator is registered in the system and linked to your school's private dashboard.
Onboarding and App Installation
Your teachers will participate in a brief onboarding session where they learn about our "audio-only" pedagogical approach. After the session, each teacher downloads the Muyu App on their smartphone and logs in using the credentials we provided. No extra equipment or technical expertise is required.
Recording Lessons and Receiving Weekly "Muyu" Techniques
Teachers simply press "record" on their phones during a lesson. The AI analyzes the audio and delivers one "Muyu"—a bite-sized, actionable coaching technique—directly to their app every week. As a school leader, you automatically start receiving real-time, anonymized data on your dashboard to monitor progress and support your team.
Dashboard Tutorial and Strategic Data Management
School leaders receive a dedicated tutorial on how to navigate the Institutional Dashboard. You will learn to manage the data generated by Muyu, tracking your teachers' progress along their personalized pedagogical pathways. This allows you to identify collective strengths and areas for growth across your faculty, transforming raw classroom data into clear, actionable insights for your school’s continuous improvement plan.
