Child building Nani's town by speaking Hindi

The map is empty. Your child fills it.

Kiki's Nani gave her an old map of the town she grew up in — but it's blank. The only way to bring it alive? Speak Hindi.

Your child speaks

Real voice conversations with Kiki about family, food, festivals, and everyday life

The town grows

Every conversation unlocks a new place — shaped by what they actually said

Nani's town comes alive

Day by day, their Hindi builds a whole town — a visible record of every conversation

Nani's town map — empty plots waiting to be built by speaking Hindi

Nani's town, day one

Every empty plot is one conversation away from becoming a house, a mandir, a mango tree.

Not flashcards. Real conversations.

Kiki adapts to your child's level, gently guides them, and never makes them feel wrong.

Kiki, the character your child speaks Hindi with

"What did you eat today?" — Kiki

They talk out loud

Voice conversations, just like talking to a real person — no typing

Kiki listens and keeps them talking

Gets things "wrong" on purpose so your child corrects her — in Hindi

Gentle hints when they freeze

Supportive guidance when needed — never "wrong answer"

Their words become the town

Said "laal"? Nani's house turns red. Said "bada"? It grows bigger

What your child sees — and what you see

Your child gets a patient friend who listens. You get a clear window into every conversation.

A real Kiki conversation about the weather — Kiki asks in Hindi, the child replies in Hindi

A real conversation with Kiki

Kiki speaks and listens; your child answers out loud. Every bubble can be replayed, and one tap switches the script to Roman Hindi for kids who can't read Devanagari yet.

How Kiki teaches

Six decades of language-acquisition research — Krashen, Swain, Long — built into how Kiki actually behaves, turn by turn.

Recast

She corrects without correcting

Your child says मेरा नानी अच्छा है। Kiki never stops to mark it wrong — her next reply simply folds in the right form: तुम्हारी नानी अच्छी हैं? वो क्या करती हैं? The fix lands inside the conversation. No red pen, no flinch.

Michael Long · corrective recasts

Practice Card

The mistake comes back — until it sticks

After the chat, Kiki pulls the exact sentences your child stumbled on and asks them to say them again, out loud. And when the same slip keeps returning — गया where it should be गई — it resurfaces as a quick game a week later. Spaced practice, on your child's own errors.

Swain · pushed output + the spacing effect

Living memory

Kiki remembers your child

Week three isn't a stranger starting over. Kiki carries what your child loves, the words they've earned, and the grammar they keep tripping on — from one session to the next — so every conversation builds on the last. The tutoring gets more personal over time, not less.

Longitudinal · unique to your child

Comprehensible input (i+1)

Pitched just above where they are

Kiki listens to how it's going and adjusts in real time — a confident child gets drawn into longer, harder Hindi instead of being babied; a child who's stuck gets simpler footing. New words always arrive inside sentences they can already follow.

Krashen · comprehensible input

Grounded in the modern consensus on how a second language is actually acquired — Krashen & Terrell (1983), Swain (1985), Schmidt (1990), Long (1996).

What parents & teachers say

Partner school
“We have used Hindi Tutor in our classrooms with students ranging from ages 4 to 16 and have been impressed by the level of engagement it generates. The interactive format encourages students to practice speaking Hindi without fear of being judged, making language learning both enjoyable and confidence-building. We have also assigned it as homework and found that completion rates were noticeably higher than with traditional assignments. Students genuinely enjoy using the platform, which makes language practice feel less like work and more like play.”

“A very useful product that solves a real need. My son really enjoyed speaking in Hindi — something he never got the opportunity to do — and it has helped him improve the parts of Hindi he'd regularly make mistakes in.”

“Hindi Tutor started at a family dinner in Singapore. My nephew understood every Hindi word his Nani said — and answered in English. Not because he didn't care, but because speaking felt hard, and nowhere in his week was there a place to practice without an audience.

We've been building that place ever since: five judgment-free minutes a day with Kiki, and a report to you every week so you always know how it's going. I still read the week's conversations myself.”

— Shubham

We're building the first serious practice platform for spoken Indian languages — starting with Hindi, one family at a time.

Safe AI — and your data stays yours

Kiki is built for children from the ground up, not a general chatbot pointed at kids. Here's exactly how we keep it safe and private.

A bounded tutor, not an open chatbot

Kiki does exactly one thing: guide your child through a Hindi conversation on a set topic. There's no open-ended prompt for a child to wander into, and no ads — ever.

Your data is never sold

We never sell, rent, or trade your family's data — full stop. Only a parent can create an account, and you can review, export, or delete everything at any time.

Recordings you control

Your child's recordings are encrypted, kept for your review in the parent dashboard, and auto-deleted after 12 months. Anything used to improve our AI is anonymized and fully opt-out.

Questions parents ask

My child barely knows any Hindi. Is that okay? +
Speaking Hindi doesn't need to be there yet, but a little understanding helps. Kiki is built to grow your child's confidence speaking Hindi and to create the daily Hindi environment that's missing around them, even if they mostly reply in English at first. Every child's level is different and hard to label, so the best way to know is to try it: if they can follow the first topic, which is the easiest one, it's a good fit.
Why can't parents just use ChatGPT voice? +
ChatGPT can talk Hindi. The hard part is voice AI built with comprehension and pedagogy engineering for language acquisition: hearing a five-year-old who mumbles half in Hindi and half in English in a noisy room, without inventing words they never said, and teaching adaptively. That means correcting them without making them feel corrected, remembering where they struggled last week to reinforce those concepts, gradually increasing difficulty, and celebrating their progress. We built an engine for exactly that. The foundational voice models are the engine; we built the car, the seatbelt, and the driving lessons, for a child.
Will this help with my child's Hindi class at school? +
Yes. The curriculum covers family, food, festivals, animals, and everyday life, the topics that align with what schools teach. Kids who practice speaking do better in class, and the daily habit keeps them coming back.
Do I need to sit with my child? +
For 5-6 year olds, yes, they might need help getting started. 7+ year olds can often use it independently, and the daily progress gives them a reason to keep going on their own.
