Baro-Ai turns the material you already study from into a complete study system — in Somali. Upload a PDF, photograph a page of your textbook, or type your notes. Baro-Ai reads what you gave it and builds five ways to learn it. Everything comes from your own syllabus, not from generic content someone else wrote. GUUDMAR — STUDY GUIDE Not a summary. Baro-Ai explains the lesson: what each idea means, why it matters, and how it works, with diagrams, comparisons, formulas and timelines drawn from your own pages. If an explanation doesn't land, ask for it again and it teaches the same lesson a different way. MACALLIN AI — AI TEACHER Ask anything about your lesson and get an answer grounded in the pages you uploaded, with the passage it came from. It teaches your syllabus, not the internet. KAARKA — FLASHCARDS Cards built from your lesson and scheduled by spaced repetition. What you find hard comes back sooner. What you already know stays out of the way. IMTIXAAN — QUIZ Practice questions at three difficulty levels, each with an explanation of why the answer is right. Your attempt history is kept, so questions don't just repeat. COD — AUDIO Your study guide read aloud, so you can revise while walking, travelling, or resting your eyes. BUILT FOR SOMALI STUDENTS The whole app speaks Somali first, with English available whenever you want it. Technical terms keep their English form alongside the Somali explanation, because that is what your exam will use. HOW IT WORKS Add your material — a PDF, photos of pages, or typed notes. Baro-Ai reads it and splits it into the real sections of your lesson. Study it five ways: guide, tutor, flashcards, quiz and audio. Come back when it tells you to — revision is scheduled before you forget. YOUR PRIVACY Baro-Ai contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK and no third-party trackers. It never asks for your location or your contacts, and the microphone is blocked entirely. The only permissions it requests are the camera and your photos, and only so you can add pages to a lesson. Your uploaded files are held in private storage that only your account can read. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time, from inside the app. A NOTE ON ACCURACY Baro-Ai is a study aid, not a teacher. AI-generated explanations can be wrong. Always check anything important against your textbook or your teacher before relying on it, especially before an exam. Made for secondary school and university students in Somalia and the Somali diaspora.
