AI for kids: apps for parents

Small web apps I built with AI coding assistants for my kids: French practice, typing, art, detective hunts and kids’ soccer. They all run in the browser. Nothing to install, and they work on a tablet. Text-to-speech works best in Safari or Chrome.

Learning French

App What it does Created
French Language Studio The main app. Pick a theme (zoo, beach, dentist, dinosaurs, Pokémon, birthday, feelings… almost 50 of them). Each word comes with an emoji and short French sentences with English translations, read aloud. It also has speech recognition so kids can repeat, a speed slider, a score and confetti. 2025-03-06
