Mynd.ai's subsidiary Promethean has launched an AI Companion for its Explain Everything app, using on-device artificial intelligence through Apple Intelligence to help teachers create lesson materials. Available on compatible Apple devices, the tool allows educators to select any element on a page and generate content including lesson plans, quizzes and vocabulary lists. The AI Companion creates audio narrations, translates text and generates accessibility descriptions. It operates entirely on the user's device without internet connection, ensuring data never leaves the device. The tool is available at no additional cost to Explain Everything Advanced and Pro users on devices running iPadOS 27 or iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence enabled. Explain Everything has been downloaded more than 25 million times worldwide and recognised as an App Store Editors' Choice.
Mynd.ai has launched a suite of privacy-focused AI tools under its Promethean brand aimed at improving engagement in classrooms and workplaces. The technology keeps personal information on local customer-owned devices by default, addressing data privacy concerns for schools and organisations. Beginning in Q4, the company will release two main products. Engage Meter will provide real-time feedback on class or team engagement, processing all personal data locally without transmitting it to Promethean or third parties. The Promethean Companion will assist educators with lesson preparation and delivery within existing workflows. The tools integrate with Promethean's ActivSuite and Explain Everything platforms. Lance Solomon, chief technology officer at Promethean, said the approach focuses on customer trust and practical outcomes. Users can opt in to the new AI-powered tools as they become available, giving organisations control over adoption timing.
