AI that sees, hears &
understands every classroom
Two AI agents — ARIA generates the questions shy students won't ask, ATLAS observes what teachers physically can't. Camera + microphone powered classroom intelligence.

The AI Agents
Two Agents, One Smarter Classroom
ARIA
Artificial Reasoning & Inquiry Agent
ARIA listens to every lecture via classroom microphones, identifies knowledge gaps the moment they occur, and generates the questions students are too shy to ask — ranked by Bloom's Taxonomy for pedagogical depth.
Powered by: Classroom mic array → real-time speech-to-text → LLM analysis
ATLAS
AI Teaching & Learning Analytics System
ATLAS uses classroom cameras to observe what teachers physically can't — individual student attention, body language, hand raises, and participation patterns. It provides real-time coaching nudges so teachers can adapt on the fly.
Powered by: Classroom cameras → computer vision → engagement ML models
What You'll Need
The hushClass Kit
Real classroom intelligence requires real sensors. hushClass combines affordable hardware with powerful AI to give teachers genuine visibility into their classrooms.
Classroom Camera
A wide-angle camera positioned to observe the full classroom. Can be a dedicated hushClass camera or your existing CCTV.
- Wide-angle lens (120°+ FOV)
- 720p minimum resolution
- Student attention & posture tracking
- Hand raise detection
- Privacy: processed on-device, no raw video stored
Microphone Array
A directional mic array that captures classroom audio for real-time transcription and speaker identification.
- Ceiling or desk-mountable
- Noise cancellation for classroom acoustics
- Speaker separation (teacher vs student)
- Real-time audio streaming
- Works with standard classroom layouts
hushClass Hub (Optional)
An edge compute device that processes camera and audio feeds locally — keeping raw data private and reducing cloud dependency.
- Connects to camera + mic
- On-device video processing
- Only metadata sent to cloud
- Works with limited internet
- Plug-and-play setup
Software-only mode: Schools with existing CCTV infrastructure can integrate directly. Teachers can also start with audio-only mode using a laptop microphone — camera features are additive, not required.
Student Identification
How hushClass Knows Who Is Who
For ATLAS to track individual engagement, it needs to identify each student. We offer three approaches — schools choose what fits their comfort level.
Face Enrollment
During onboarding, each student's photo is captured via the hushClass camera. Face embeddings (not photos) are stored securely. The camera identifies students automatically in future sessions.
Seating Map
Teacher assigns fixed seats in the hushClass app. The camera identifies students by their position — no biometric data needed. Works well with consistent seating arrangements.
Student Badges
Each student gets a small desk badge with a QR code or NFC tag. The camera reads badges to identify students. Zero biometric data, easy to set up.
Privacy by Design
Parental consent is required for all enrollment methods. Face embeddings are mathematical vectors — not photos — and are encrypted at rest. Schools retain full control over data retention and can delete all student data at any time. All processing follows privacy-first principles.
How It Works
From Setup to First Insights
Install the hardware, enroll students, and let AI do the rest. Teachers focus on teaching — hushClass handles the observation.
Install hushClass Kit
Mount the camera and mic in your classroom. Connect to the hushClass Hub or directly to your school's network.
Enroll Students
Import your class roster. Choose face enrollment, seating map, or badge-based identification for each student.
Start a Session
Teacher clicks 'Start Session'. ARIA begins listening, ATLAS starts observing. Both agents work silently in the background.
Review Insights
After class, review the AI-generated debrief: engagement data, generated questions, comprehension gaps, and coaching suggestions.
Capabilities
What hushClass Actually Measures
With camera + microphone data, here's what becomes possible — no guesswork, just real classroom intelligence.
Via Camera (ATLAS)
Individual Attention Tracking
Head orientation and gaze direction per student — who's looking at the teacher vs their phone.
Body Language Signals
Posture analysis: leaning forward (engaged), slouching (disengaged), note-taking detection.
Hand Raise Detection
Automatic detection when students raise hands. Tracks who gets called on and who doesn't.
Participation Patterns
Which students interact during group activities, who's isolated, who dominates discussions.
Teacher Movement Heatmap
How the teacher moves around the room — which areas get more attention.
Via Microphone (ARIA)
Real-time Transcription
Live speech-to-text of the entire lecture with timestamp alignment.
AI Question Generation
ARIA identifies concepts students likely struggle with and generates clarifying questions ranked by Bloom's Taxonomy.
Speaker Identification
Distinguishes teacher voice from student voices. Tracks which students speak up.
Engagement Proxy via Audio
Classroom noise patterns, silence duration, and energy levels as indicators of engagement.
Concept Coverage Analysis
Maps lecture content against curriculum to identify what was taught vs what was missed.
For Every Stakeholder
From Individual Classrooms to Entire Districts
hushClass is designed for the realities of education — large class sizes, diverse learners, limited observation bandwidth. One system that serves every stakeholder differently.
For Teachers
Real-time coaching nudges during class. Post-session debrief cards with AI-generated questions, engagement data, and teaching suggestions.
For Principals
School-wide engagement analytics, teacher development insights, and automated weekly reports — without sitting in every classroom.
For Students
AI-generated questions that voice doubts they're afraid to ask. Better-paced lessons. More interactive classrooms.
For Counsellors
Early warning alerts for students showing sustained disengagement or behavioral pattern changes — weeks before grades drop.

Building in Public
Questions We're Still Solving
Honest transparency about what we're figuring out. If you have insights on any of these, we'd love to hear from you.
How do we price this fairly?
Hardware + SaaS subscription? Per-classroom? Per-school? We need pilot data to determine real costs and value before setting prices.
What camera hardware is optimal?
Dedicated AI cameras vs existing CCTV? Single wide-angle vs multiple? Ceiling-mount vs wall? We're testing different setups in pilot classrooms.
How many languages can we support well?
Speech-to-text accuracy varies dramatically by language. We're starting with languages where STT models are strong and expanding as we validate quality.
Edge vs cloud processing?
Processing video on-device is better for privacy but limits AI capability. Cloud is more powerful but raises data concerns. We're building a hybrid approach.
Student privacy and consent at scale?
Face enrollment requires parental consent. Different jurisdictions have different rules. We're building consent management into the core platform.
How do we measure accuracy?
Is our engagement score actually accurate? How do we validate that ARIA's questions match real student confusion? We need classroom pilots to calibrate.
