About

What is AI

Features
Read full description

What is AI turns artificial intelligence into short play sessions for the whole family: learn by playing, not by reading. Ember is a glowing spirit that lives inside devices. Ember knows nothing at first: your child shows Ember examples, Ember guesses, and Ember's glow turns from grey to green when the guess is right. The child is the teacher, not the audience. EVERY LESSON IS 8–10 MINUTES, IN 5 STEPS • Story — illustrated panels with audio; a child who cannot read yet can still play • Play — tap and drag only, no typing • Build — the child picks the examples, and Ember's guesses change right away • Check — 3 picture questions, with no score shown to the child • Sticker — 6 stickers unlock a badge, 24 stickers earn a certificate for the parent 24 LESSONS PER GRADE, IN 4 THEMES • People first — where AI lives, who gives the machine examples, who checks it • How machines work — seeing, hearing, sorting • AI and fairness — what to do when a guess is wrong, keeping secrets from strange apps • Design — the child invents a small job for Ember The lessons are mapped to the 4 strands and 12 AI periods a year of Hanoi's primary programme. The parent area shows which lesson covers which period. SAFE BY DESIGN • Fully offline, no connection needed to play • No ads • No sign-up, no child account, no name to type • No camera or microphone permission in the child's part of the app • No open chat box • No scores, no ranking, no comparing children • Every purchase and setting sits behind a parent PIN FOR PARENTS • See right and wrong answers per question, in the parent area only • Match each lesson to the school programme • Up to 4 children on one device • The app suggests stopping after 2 lessons per session FREE AND MEMBERSHIP Unit 1 (6 lessons) of every grade is free, with no account. Unlock everything with a single-grade or a family plan, monthly or yearly. Plans renew automatically and can be cancelled any time in your App Store settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://littleai.online/privacy HONEST ABOUT "TEACHING A MACHINE" What Ember "learns" is a simulation running on the device, not a real AI model being trained. The simulation exists so children can see the idea: machines guess from examples that people give them. An independent learning app, not affiliated with any ministry or department of education.
