MirrorTalk
An interactive reflection station designed to improve emotional awareness and connection between students and teachers.
Many US teachers see reflection as essential for learning, helping students track progress and develop metacognitive skills. Yet, students often find reflection boring, repetitive, and difficult to express, quickly losing focus in the process
Discovery Research
We conducted user interviews with Swivl’s existing teacher community and a competitive analysis to identify key user needs, uncover market insights, and define opportunities to differentiate Mirror.
Reflect anytime
Anytime, students can start a reflection by selecting their name from the student list. This initiates a conversation with their AI-reflected self.
Reflection flow
Customize reflections
To achieve this goal we designed an experience where, in 30 seconds or less, a teacher can add a goal, customize prompts that are generated based on this objective, and set the best response time.

Work in the small groups
Teachers can set up workspace for small group classrooms and add detailed instructions that engage students and build connected learning experiences.
