Zaya is a history tutor you talk to out loud, one to one. Name a topic, like the fall of Rome, Genghis Khan or the space race, and Zaya builds a short course around it. Each lesson is a conversation. Interrupt, ask "wait, why?", or go off on a tangent, and Zaya answers and keeps the story going. • A real conversation. Talk to Zaya by voice, like a private tutor. If you'd rather not speak, tap a reply instead. • History told as stories. Every lesson puts you in the scene with the people and decisions that shaped it. • Any topic you're curious about. Ancient empires, revolutions, world wars, forgotten figures. You choose, and Zaya builds the course. • Lessons that fit your day. Each one takes a few minutes, and a lesson path shows what's next. • Quick checks. Short questions during the lesson help the important parts stick.
