Interactive reading adventures for kids

YouTube

An AI/LLM-based web app that tells children ever-new, imaginative and interactive reading adventures – to spark a love of reading.

The idea: reach reluctant readers through stories in which they make the decisions themselves. With my own son, for whom I built the first iteration, the approach works wonderfully. No longer hosted, but an instructive excursion into LLM products.

What I learned

Designing an LLM product for a very specific audience – children – balancing suspense, safety and simplicity.
