Singapore edtech startup unveils AI-driven Mandarin library

BrookieKids, a Singapore-based education technology startup, has launched a digital library comprising over 50 Mandarin voice-interactive stories.

Designed for children aged 3 to 8, the library aims to enhance Mandarin proficiency and will expand monthly with new content.

The new library, accessible via the BrookieKids mobile app, allows children to interact with stories using speech AI.

This feature enables the narrative to adapt based on the child’s verbal responses. This provides a personalized learning experience.

BrookieKids developed the library in collaboration with the Confucius Institute at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
