AI might be the biggest lever kids have ever had for learning. Every child can now have a patient conversation partner that's there whenever they get curious. The catch is that most AI products are built to remove steps. In learning, the steps are where understanding comes from. @gakkuai is built around that. It's an AI learning app for kids aged 6 to 16. Its companion Raku asks the questions and pushes back, and the child does the explaining and writing. In this conversation Raku interviews co-founder @anniechen419. What's interesting is her take on prompting. A good prompt starts with knowing what you want and which context matters, so it's really an exercise in clear thinking. Kids who learn to explain their ideas are practicing the same skill. That's the version of AI in education I find most exciting.
