What it does
Ello is building the most natural AI teacher to maximize the learning potential of all children, regardless of resources. Its first product is the world’s most advanced reading coach, powered by proprietary speech recognition and generative AI.
Ello is a AI-powered reading and math app. Built for ages 4–9, and shaped entirely around your child.
An AI math & reading teacher built around your child. Available on iOS and Android. For the first time, AI technology can truly teach. Ello listens, understands, and adapts to your child in real time. No two kids learn the same way, and no two kids will ever have the same experience on Ello. It listens in real time and decides exactly what your child needs, right when they need it. One size does not fit all. Ello slows down when they are stuck, and pushes them when they’re ready. This app has really helped my daughter love reading and build her confidence as a new reader. She literally asks if she can read with Ello instead of watching cartoons! This app is fantastic!!!! It makes reading so…from ello.com

Hi HN, We’re Elizabeth, Catalin, and Tom - the founders of Ello (https://www.helloello.com). Ello is an AI-powered app that mimics the one-on-one interaction of a reading tutor by listening to, encouraging, and coaching kids grade K-3 as they read out loud from a real book. We posted on HN back in 2020 when we launched Trustle, a company designed to pair families with dedicated experts in child development. We learned from that experience that parents don’t want a consultant, but they do want actual help with specific challenges—one of the biggest being reading. Prior to COVID, 65%…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
