What should humans learn in the age of AI—and how should we learn with it?
Today, we’re officially launching Gakku—an AI-native learning coach for writing, speaking, and thinking, built for ages 6–16.
As natural language becomes our interface with intelligence, critical
We’ve raised $51 million to rethink how kids learn with AI. Our bet: conversational learning.
Language isn’t just how we communicate. It’s how we think. That’s the idea behind Gakku, our AI learning coach. The learning process itself is the product—not something to automate away.
Thanks @LinusEkenstam for putting this so well: the time spent thinking is the value of the product.
And when the interface becomes part of the thinking, voice, visuals, and choices can evolve together as the learner works through an idea.
That’s exactly the kind of learning experience we’re building at Gakku.
The biggest mistake in AI education is automating the part where the child learns.
The questions. The wrong turns. The “wait, let me try again.”
That’s the part gakku is built around.

Thanks, Alvaro @dr_cintas, for looking beyond the output.
A capable model is the starting point. Turning that intelligence into a coherent, real-time human experience requires a new interaction layer.
This is the shift from generating content to orchestrating interaction—and what we’re building with Gakku.
This is one of the best consumer AI apps I've seen.
Most AI apps remain static chat wrappers: text input ➔ spinner ➔ text output. But real learning is a dynamic, stateful "Interaction Flow" with intent, pacing, and rhythm.

Thanks @GithubProjects for showing what’s behind the conversation. A remembered interest gives learners a reason to speak; a changing picture gives them a reason to refine their words. With a learning goal guiding that exchange, they’re not just chatting—they’re finding their voice.
Can chatting with an AI really count as writing practice?
We’d look at what it does with a short answer.
In @gakkuai, “caring” opens up a story about a frightened dog called Peanut. A favourite footballer becomes a subject worth arguing about.
The interesting design choice is
