"Kids, by definition, are very curious, and my son would ask me questions about how cars work or how it rains. My approach was to use ChatGPT or Gemini to explain these concepts to a six-year-old, but that is still a wall of text. What kids want is an interactive experience. This was our core process behind founding Sparkli,"
"When a kid asked what Mars looks like fifty years ago, we might have shown them a picture,"
"Ten years ago, we might have shown them a video. With Sparkli, we want kids to interact and experience what Mars is like."
Sparkli was founded last year by Lax Poojary, Lucie Marchand, and Myn Kang to build generative AI-powered interactive experiences for children. Founders previously co-founded Touring Bird and Shoploop at Google's Area 120 and later worked at Google and YouTube. Parents found text or voice outputs from models like ChatGPT or Gemini insufficiently engaging for young children. Sparkli delivers AI-powered "expeditions" that let kids explore predefined topics, ask their own questions to generate personalized learning paths, and discover a highlighted new topic each day. The app targets modern concepts such as design skills, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship through interactive exploration.
