    Hey HN! I’m excited to show you my app that lets you learn any topic in a structured, bite-sized way. Each lesson has an audio version, some visuals, and interactive quizzes. They’re personalized to your background and goals, and you can pick a concept inside a lesson and ask it to go deeper. When my co-founder was at NotebookLM, he realized the biggest bottlenecks in learning are that people don’t have time or feel like they’re not smart enough. We wanted to see if software can take the mental load of figuring out what resources to use and what order to learn them in, and make lessons easy…

    Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

    Lexie▲102

    Built this because kids 10-15 can't prompt AI effectively. They'd type "make quiz plz" and get confused when ChatGPT asks for context. Lexie takes 46 steps of AI prompting, context explanation, and output formatting and makes it one step: point camera, get quiz. The photo constraint isn't just better UX, it's the only way to get usable output from that age group. This demographic gets the worst deal in edtech. Too advanced for baby apps, too young for adult tools. They get gamification theater instead of real learning tools. I stripped all that out. Photo your geology notes, get instant…

  14. 14SE

    Hi HN! I made a tool that autogenerates simple, high-level explanations of concepts and organizes them in a somewhat university course-like structure so that it's easier to see how things are structured. Currently it has about 20,000 concepts on a range of topics but that's just what I generated so far, it should work with more obscure topics in the future. I love learning about random topics where I don't have a good background in like history or linguistics, but it's hard to figure out what topics there (you don't know what you don't know) are in certain fields and what they are even…

    My kids are endlessly curious, always asking questions like “Why do stars twinkle?” or “How do volcanoes erupt?” I love their curiosity, but I found myself constantly searching for good ways to answer them, and without adding more screen time to their day. Podcasts are great, but kids’ podcasts are often generic and don’t cover their specific questions. I wanted something more personal and engaging. So I built WonderPods - an app that creates personalized podcast episodes to answer whatever they’re curious about, even saying their name in the story. It turns their curiosity into fun,…

    I just built an app for children and parents to ask questions to explain to kids and to for parents to ask how to deal with any parenting situation. For example a 4 year old may ask “why does the plate break when it falls?” Sometimes it can be hard to answer that in a way that a child can understand. The system will go out and scour the web for information the topic, and then rewrite in a kid friendly and safe way. It goes and finds related images, videos, products and reference links. It also gives related words ,quiz, and some games and experiments to try with your child to see if they are…

    Hey HN, I’m a dev and a dad to a 10-year-old. I built this because I caught my daughter using ChatGPT to do her history homework. She wasn't learning; she was just acting as a "middleware" between the AI and the paper. The Backstory: I realized the problem isn't the AI—it's the zero-friction answers. Most "AI for kids" apps are just "parrots"—they mimic intelligence by repeating patterns. What’s Different: Qurio is a "Bicycle" for the mind. It treats the child like a future "Architect" rather than a "Junior Executor." Technically, it wraps an LLM in a strict "Socratic Loop." It detects…
