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 screen time into active, conversational, playful learning experiences.
Our empathetic AI friends engage children in natural conversations, adapting to each child's unique interests and abilities. Through personalized journeys such as stories, quests and games, children develop crucial skills in creativity, storytelling, reading, math, and listening.
IMPACT: Our early results show promise: 5K+ users have engaged in over 350K+ conversations, created 5000 stories and went on 10k learning quests with their AI friends, demonstrating exceptional engagement metrics and early product-market fit. We're already 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.
