AIPrentice

Every other app lets AI teach your child. AIPrentice flips it: your child teaches the AI. Hatch a clueless dinosaur that can't tell a cat from a dog. Your child is its teacher - drawing examples, naming them, feeding its tiny brain. Then quiz it! Sometimes it answers with hilarious confidence and gets it completely wrong. That's not a bug. That's the lesson. ONE EGG A DAY, FOR YEARS - A new egg hatches every day with one small, clear thing to do - Over 1200 handmade levels on 24 islands - Collect eggshells: every 50 levels hatches a brand new dragon - Miss a day and nothing is lost: skipped eggs wait in the nest - Grown-ups choose the pace: 1, 3 or 5 levels a day, or no limit - After all 1200, the Endless Sea begins, so the levels never run out EVERY LEVEL TEACHES ONE IDEA ABOUT AI - Draw along a pencil, teach the same thing a few times, then quiz it - Tell two look-alikes apart. Teach one drawing and see why one is never enough - Draw it huge, tiny, tilted or upside down and see what it still knows - Find the drawing filed under the wrong name, throw it out, watch it get smarter - Later on, your child decides what to teach. Their ideas never run out MY DRAWING BOOK - Every drawing your child makes is kept - taught, quizzed, traced or redrawn - in a book to flip through - The story of each thing: the cat from the very first drawing to today's - A drawing coach on the cover: what your child drew this week, where they got braver, one idea for next time. Only about progress - Tidy the book: drag drawings into a new order, or throw one away. What the pet remembers is untouched - Draw it again: an old drawing fades in as a hint, then before and after sit side by side MORE TO DO - Talk to it: teach it words out loud; it talks back using only what you taught it - Ask Dr. Dino: a friendly dino teacher answers questions in simple words, on device - Make it a movie: the book becomes a film with piano music, narrated by the pet. Swipe to pick drawings, make long films, keep them in My Movies, up to 4K. Same-thing drawings play as a flipbook, so your child's cats move - Memory Backpack: see every drawing it remembers, and take memories away. The drawing stays in the book - It remembers you: a little diary of things you did together - Pick up English: teach in Chinese and it shows and says the English too WHAT KIDS ACTUALLY LEARN - AI is taught with data - it only knows what YOU show it - Too few examples means silly mistakes. More examples means a smarter pet - AI can be confidently wrong, which is why you should always double-check it - When it guesses, it shows WHICH memory it thought of, and admits what it never learned - Take memories away and it forgets, even shrinks - the data IS the brain - It coaches you back, and warns you the moment two things look too much alike PARENTS CAN RELAX - On device by design. Nothing is uploaded automatically - a picture leaves only if you, the grown-up, share it - Speech is recognized on device. Recordings are never saved or uploaded - Saving films to Photos stays off until a grown-up turns it on once. The app can only add, never read - No ads, no accounts, no data collected, no tracking (Made for Kids). Works offline - Everything leaving the child's flow sits behind a grown-ups-only gate: sharing, backup, camera, history, pace, reset, tip jar - Camera and photos are off until a parent turns them on. Photos become outlines on device; originals are never kept A NOTE ON "ASK DR. DINO" Needs the on-device intelligence of newer iPhone and iPad on the latest iOS; everything else works the same anywhere. Dr. Dino is labeled as an AI that can make mistakes, keeps to child-friendly topics, and if a child raises something serious it always says: talk to a trusted grown-up now. AIPrentice is free. If your family wants to support development, there is a small tip jar in the parents area. It unlocks nothing: everything is free. Raise an AI. Understand the future.

About

Tessék

Features
Read full description

Tessék is for people learning Hungarian from scratch who want to finally remember the words instead of rereading them in a notebook. Ten games over one shared vocabulary, spaced review, and a separate tab for verb conjugation. A VOCABULARY YOU CAN SEE THROUGH The dictionary holds 5,880 words across A1, A2, B1 and B2 — 76 topics and 279 subtopics. Level → topic → subtopic → word. Every topic has its own counter and progress bar, so you see what you actually finished today, not how much is left in general. Words are sorted into levels by how often they are really used, and the dictionary keeps growing. TEN GAMES OVER THE SAME WORDS • Dictionary — a card, translation and example on tap • Pick the word — a translation and four Hungarian options • Listen and pick — audio and four translations • Find the picture — a word and four images • Match the words — word and translation pairs • Type the word — type it from the translation • Listen and type — type what you hear • Unscramble the word — letters in the right order • True or false — a quick check of one translation • Mixed games — a random mix of every mechanic Different games hit different skills: recognition, listening, spelling. That is why a word counts as learned only once you get it right in three different games — a word learned by eye alone tends to fall apart the moment you hear it. REVIEW ON TIME A learned word comes back for review after a day, three days, a week and on up to half a year. Once a day the app can remind you that words are due — at the time you choose, and only when there really is something to review. The "Still learning" button in the Dictionary puts a word off until tomorrow without counting it. AUDIO, EXAMPLES AND PICTURES Every word is voiced by two voices, female and male; you choose which one reads in your profile. Every word has an example sentence with a translation, and you can listen to it too. 2,700 words have a picture — the concrete ones. Abstract words don't get one, because a stock photo for "however" teaches nothing. VERB CONJUGATION Its own tab: pick a verb and fill in the present tense table yourself — indefinite conjugation, definite conjugation and the "I → you" form. A correct form is highlighted straight away, not at the end. There are 1,356 verbs, and every one of them shows what vowel harmony does to it. ACHIEVEMENTS AND NEWS Achievements for your first session, days in a row and mastered topics — bronze for A1, silver for A2, gold for B1, platinum for B2. Your profile has a news feed: what the latest update brought and which words were added. PROGRESS WITHOUT SIGN-UP Progress is saved on its own, no account needed. Sign in with Google or Apple and it moves to another device: same topics, same reviews, same achievements. The app speaks Russian and English. Hungarian is a hard language with nearly twenty cases and vowel harmony, and no app can stand in for grammar. But vocabulary can be built without cramming — that is what Tessék is for.
