For the first time, New York City educators have the opportunity to introduce ERMA-approved, classroom-safe AI into their schools.
The Merlyn NYC Pilot Program is designed to give select schools access to Merlyn - a voice-controlled smart clicker built to support live classroom instruction, not interrupt it.
This is a structured, low-risk way to introduce Merlyn into your classrooms. Participating NYC schools will receive:
ERMA Approved Device in Select Classrooms
Guided Onboarding and Support for Educators
Best Practices for Integrating Voice-enabled Technology into Daily Instruction
Special NYCDOE Pricing

The Education Risk Management Assessment (ERMA) is New York City’s framework for evaluating whether digital tools and AI technologies are safe for use in schools.
Merlyn is classified in the ERMA Green Zone, meaning it meets NYC’s highest standards for safety, privacy, and classroom readiness.
Merlyn is designed to support -not replace- teachers:
Helps brainstorm and document lesson content
Customizes tools and interactions
Streamlines classroom workflows
Drives student curiosity and critical thought
