Kurious is a coding tutor your child talks to. They tell Kurious the cat what to build, a bouncing ball, a cat that meows, their own little games, and it comes to life on screen while Kurious teaches the ideas behind it. No typing, no syntax walls. Your child learns by describing what they want, watching it get built, and changing it themselves. Along the way Kurious introduces real computer science: loops, events, variables, conditionals, and how to think about AI. WHAT LEARNERS DO - Talk to Kurious and watch their ideas appear on the canvas - Follow a quest map of projects: games, drawings, music, and more - Earn XP and badges as concepts click - Keep a shelf of everything they have built and share it with family WHAT PARENTS GET - A dashboard that shows what your child is building and which concepts they explored - A weekly progress email in plain language - Conversation starters so you can talk about what they made - No social features, no ads SAFE BY DESIGN - Sessions are just Kurious, the canvas, and one task at a time - No open chat with strangers, no feeds - Parents create and control the account - Parents see exactly what data powers the AI tutor and approve it before any conversation starts Questions?
