Former Google employees have launched Sparkli, an innovative generative AI-powered application aimed at children. The app seeks to overcome the limitations of text-based AI interactions by providing an engaging, multimedia learning environment for kids aged 5-12.
Sparkli allows children to explore predefined topics or generate personalized learning paths in response to their questions. The startup uses generative AI to create assets like audio, video, images, quizzes, and games in near real-time, making learning about complex subjects like financial literacy and entrepreneurship interactive.
Safety is a key consideration, with the app blocking inappropriate content and guiding children toward emotional intelligence and parental communication for sensitive topics. Sparkli is currently piloting its technology with an educational institute impacting over 100,000 students.
The company has secured $5 million in pre-seed funding. Sparkli plans to expand consumer access for parents by mid-2026, following its initial focus on global school partnerships.
