"Multiple choice tests what you can recognize. Megunto tests what you actually know. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

About Megunto
Megunto is a speaking-based learning platform built for oral exam preparation and training where learners must think, speak, and respond—rather than click through multiple-choice questions. The platform simulates realistic oral exam scenarios and delivers real-time, fact-based feedback on both what learners say (content) and how they say it (clarity and structure).
For organizations, Megunto is available as a white-label SaaS solution: you can use your own branding, define your own question formats, and stay in control of your content. Megunto is designed for universities, education providers, and businesses running speaking-intensive learning or assessments.
Quick facts
The Mission
To turn passive recognition into active articulation.
The Problem
Cognitive science is clear: We remember what we say aloud. Yet, oral training is a "luxury" because it requires one-on-one human supervision. As student numbers rise, institutions are forced into passive, multiple-choice testing, leaving learners unable to articulate complex knowledge in real-world scenarios.
The Distinction
Beyond generic chatbots: Megunto offers a reliable framework for organizations to scale their own curriculum. We provide the technology; you maintain the pedagogical sovereignty and brand identity.
Total Control: Organizations define the "Truth"—the questions and reference answers.
Branding: The platform lives under the customer's identity, not ours.
Security: GDPR-native, hosted in EU, and built for regulated industries like medicine.
Headquarters:
Leipzig, Germany
Founded:
2025.
Founders Profiles
Tim Berthold | Co-founder
As a former anesthesiologist, Tim knows that in high-pressure environments, "thinking" isn't enough—you have to communicate clearly under stress. He transitioned from the OR to EdTech to solve the "articulation gap" he saw in medical training.
Emma Haley | Co-founder
A computer scientist and linguist, Emma specializes in the intersection of Generative AI and structured evaluation. She designed Megunto’s core logic to ensure that AI serves the curriculum, rather than the curriculum being limited by the AI.
