PROBLEM: Millions of children worldwide spend countless hours in passive, mindless screen time. This is hurting kids - affecting their attention spans, focus & creativity.
SOLUTION:
Curie and its AI friends transform passive screen time into purposeful, interactive screen time while developing crucial soft skills like curiosity, creativity and critical thinking in kids.
Our empathetic AI friends engage kids in natural conversations, adapting to each child's unique interests and take kids on a range of personalized journeys including story creation, learning quests and games.
IMPACT: Our early results show promise: 8K+ users have engaged in over 1M+ conversations, created 12K+ stories and went on 15k learning quests with their AI friends, demonstrating exceptional engagement metrics and early product-market fit. We're generating revenue while helping children develop key traits like curiosity & creativity in the age of AI.
ROLE: As the founder & CEO, raised a pre-seed round, wore multiple hats and built a strong team to execute on this opportunity.
