Chispa
Learning by creating, with a Socratic AI companion for kids.
🇲🇽 In Spanish · built for LATAM
An educational app for kids across LATAM (ages 8 to 12). The child creates comics by directing Chispa, a Socratic AI that makes them think; by creating, they master subjects and learn to think with and about artificial intelligence. The AI lives 'on rails': moderated and safe for children.
The problem
What it solves
Kids grow up surrounded by AI, but no one teaches them to think with it or about it. Most edtech is passive consumption, not creation.
The solution
How it solves it
An app where the child learns by creating: they direct Chispa to build comics, and in the process master subjects and develop critical thinking about artificial intelligence.
The difference
Why it's different
The child creates, doesn't consume. And the AI lives 'on rails': it never talks directly to the child without moderation, a system prompt and factual verification in between.
The intelligence
How AI comes in
Chispa is a Socratic companion powered by Gemini on Vertex that asks questions instead of giving answers; Imagen generates the comic art. Everything passes through a safety cage in the backend.
What it does
Key features
- Comic creation by directing the AI
- A Socratic companion that teaches thinking
- AI 'on rails': moderation and child safety
- Art generated with Imagen
