Mindset CoPilot goes public with literacy-first AI platform focused on professional judgment
Mindset CoPilot has gone public, according to LinkedIn posts from its founding team, marking the debut of a new AI-supported professional learning platform built around structured practice, feedback, and reflection rather than content delivery.
The platform is launching first in education, with literacy as its initial focus area. Its first public application, Literacy Mindset, is positioned as a Science of Reading–aligned professional learning tool designed to help teachers and coaches strengthen instructional decision-making in realistic classroom contexts.
Sunil Gunderia, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Mindset CoPilot, shared the update on LinkedIn, outlining the rationale behind the platform and its emphasis on professional judgment.
In his post, Gunderia framed the platform as a response to how professional learning is typically structured across sectors. Gunderia wrote, “We built Mindset CoPilot to strengthen professional judgment through science-grounded practice, feedback, and reflection.”
He argued that while professionals make high-stakes decisions in real time, most training models still focus on knowledge acquisition rather than rehearsal, “Across professions, people make high-stakes decisions in real time, yet most professional learning still emphasizes knowledge acquisition rather than the rehearsal required to build reliable judgment.”
He added, “Practice matters, especially when small decisions compound.”
Literacy Mindset launches first in education
Mindset CoPilot’s first application, Literacy Mindset, focuses on literacy instruction, where the company argues instructional precision has a disproportionate impact on outcomes.
Gunderia wrote, “We are launching in education first. Literacy Mindset is our first public application, focused on literacy instruction where instructional precision and professional judgment have an outsized impact on learners.”
According to the company, the application supports Science of Reading–aligned professional learning by allowing educators to rehearse instructional decisions in simulated classroom scenarios before applying them in live settings. AI is used to support consistency and scale, while instructional judgment remains with educators.
Founding team brings literacy and learning science expertise
The launch also formalizes the leadership team behind the platform. Paige C. Pullen, Co-Founder and Chief Learning Officer at Mindset CoPilot, posted separately on LinkedIn to explain the instructional problem the platform is designed to address.
Pullen wrote, “For much of my career, I have worked on the gap between what literacy research tells us and what educators can reliably do in real classrooms.” She added, “Professional learning often stops at knowing.”
Pullen said the platform is designed to help educators move from exposure to evidence toward reliable instructional action, “We are building a science-grounded practice platform that helps educators rehearse instructional decision-making in realistic contexts and receive targeted feedback before applying it in live classroom moments.”
The founding team also includes Juan Irming, who leads the platform’s engineering work with a focus on secure and responsible AI systems.
Mindset CoPilot is structured around repeatable cycles of learning, practice, feedback, reflection, and application. The platform draws on learning science, instructional science, and domain-specific research, with AI used to surface decision-relevant signals and reduce cognitive load rather than automate professional judgment.
In literacy, the approach is intended to help educators practice high-leverage instructional moves, interpret student responses, and refine decisions over time without real-world risk.
Founder’s transition from Age of Learning informs approach
The public launch follows Gunderia’s departure from Age of Learning, where he previously served as Chief Strategy Officer and helped lead the development of personalized mastery learning systems used in My Reading Academy and My Math Academy.
In an earlier LinkedIn post, he reflected on closing that chapter and shifting focus toward building systems that connect knowledge, skill, and confident action.
Mindset CoPilot said it is beginning work with pilot and research collaborators, with further detail expected as the platform moves from public launch into early implementation.
Pullen wrote, “I’m partnering with Gunderia and Irming because we share a conviction that strengthening professional judgment through structured practice, supported by AI, can improve outcomes for educators and the students they serve.”
