About

Ludea Mentor

Features
Read full description

Ludea Mentor is an AI tutor for children and teenagers, built so the adult who installs it stays in charge. Your child gets a tutor that teaches them to think; you know what is going on, and you set the limits. FOR YOUR CHILD • A tutor that asks before it answers. Instead of handing over the answer, it guides the reasoning until your child gets there on their own, and explains when they are stuck. • Math written like on paper: fractions, equations and formulas drawn, not typed. • A photo of the exercise: they take a picture of the problem and ask about it. • Voice conversation: they ask out loud and hear the answer. • Buddies and avatars: animal buddies they unlock as they go, and a name of their own for the tutor. FOR YOU • Alerts that come with guidance. When something serious comes up, you know right away, and the alert suggests what to do next. It is a reason to talk, not a diagnosis. • Subjects that stay off limits. Religion, politics, sexuality, dating: each family decides, subject by subject, and can add terms that only matter at home. • Agreed hours. You set the hours and the app tells you when they slip. It warns you. It does not lock the device. • Every conversation, readable. You can read them all, including the ones your child archived, and their screen tells them so. • A parent PIN. The parent area only opens with your PIN. SAFETY AND PRIVACY • Blocks that do not depend on the AI model. Serious content is refused and signs of crisis are detected by our own checks, before and after every reply, on every plan. No setting turns them off. • No ads. No tracking. Your child talks to the tutor and to no one else. • You can delete the account and everything in it from inside the app, at any time. SUBSCRIPTION You start with a free trial with everything unlocked. After that you can choose one of three plans, billed monthly or yearly; what changes is the number of questions per month, shared by all your children. Without a subscription the account keeps working on the Free plan, and nothing is deleted. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
