Product Roadmap

Build a serious learning product, not just a game

This board turns the idea into execution. The goal is not "Harvard prep" at age six. The goal is a durable system for curiosity, math fluency, language growth, attention, and parent-visible progress. Use your Netcup ML models for personalization, speech, and tutoring, but keep the child experience bounded, monitored, and safe.

Use Netcup models for bounded tutoring

Do not expose a raw chat model directly to a child. Put it behind a lesson engine with a fixed goal, age-level vocabulary, topic limits, and parent logs.

Audio should do two jobs

Short reward sounds for delight, and spoken teaching for independence. Start with canned sounds and server TTS before building full voice conversation.

Supervision can be reduced, not removed

For a six-year-old, "without supervision" only works if sessions are short, content is pre-approved, and parents can review transcripts, mistakes, and usage time.
