What makes AudioKids different

Built for real learning.

Knowledge graph

Every topic connects to others. If today your child explores dinosaurs, tomorrow they might jump to fossils, geology, or ocean currents. Not random: a map they build themselves.

Adapts to their level

An ELO system (like in chess) measures your child's real level. Vocabulary, complexity, and questions that grow with them. No "easy/medium/hard". Just precision.

Podcast mode

Two voices discussing a topic at their level. Like listening to two curious friends who can't stop talking about why the sky is blue or how planes work.

No screens

Pure audio. In the car, before bed, walking to school. No notifications, no infinite scroll, no ads. Your child listens, imagines, and learns.

Bedtime mode

Turns on by itself after 7pm. Calma mood, warm narrator, and no end-of-story questions so it won't wake your child. They drift off with the story — not with you walking back into the room because "the app asked them something".

Knowledge graph

One topic leads to the next. Without anyone pushing.

The AudioKids graph connects ideas across eras and disciplines. Here are six real paths your child can walk.

From the Code of Hammurabi to the steam engine

  1. Code of Hammurabi
  2. Roman law
  3. Julius Caesar
  4. Shipbuilding
  5. Industrial revolution
  6. Steam engine

From the first laws etched in stone to the Roman fleet, and from those ships to the engine that changed the world. The invisible thread of how we organize things.

From Romulus and Remus to rockets

  1. Romulus and Remus
  2. Scipio Africanus
  3. Archimedes' principle
  4. Material density
  5. Steel vs titanium
  6. How a rocket is built

From Rome's founding myth to the Greek engineer who figured out why ships float. And from one bathtub eureka to the material we use to reach space.

From The Count of Monte Cristo to hieroglyphs

  1. The Count of Monte Cristo
  2. Alexandre Dumas
  3. Rosetta Stone
  4. Hieroglyphs
  5. Tutankhamun

While Dumas was writing about revenge, in the same Paris the Rosetta Stone was being decoded. A novel can lead you to a pharaoh's tomb.

From Mozart to volcanoes

  1. Mozart
  2. Austro-Hungarian Empire
  3. The Alps
  4. Plate tectonics
  5. Volcanoes

An opera opens up the geography of an empire, and from there we drop underground: what moves mountains also moves music. Connections the curriculum never makes.

From the Sistine Chapel to dinosaurs

  1. Sistine Chapel
  2. Michelangelo
  3. Secret dissections
  4. Modern anatomy
  5. Comparative dentition
  6. Dinosaurs

Michelangelo dissected corpses in secret to paint perfect bodies. That same curiosity led, centuries later, to comparing teeth and figuring out how T-Rex hunted.

From Edison's phonograph to generative AI

  1. Edison's phonograph
  2. Silent film
  3. Sound film
  4. Digital animation
  5. GPUs
  6. Generative AI

A cylinder that recorded voices in 1877 paved the way to cinema, to Pixar, and to the GPUs that today generate images. A hundred years in six hops.

The full graph adapts to each child's age and level.

...and your child can add any topic they want

Multi-language

One profile per language. One level per language.

Each child can have profiles in multiple languages, each with its own comprehension level. Perfect for bilingual kids who are stronger in one language, or for those learning a new one.

🇪🇸 Español (España) 🇲🇽 Español (México) 🇦🇷 Español (Argentina) 🇺🇸 English (US) 🇬🇧 English (UK) 🇨🇳 中文 🇫🇷 Français 🇩🇪 Deutsch 🇧🇷 Português 🇮🇹 Italiano 🇯🇵 日本語 🇰🇷 한국어 🇸🇦 العربية 🇷🇺 Русский 🇮🇳 हिन्दी 🇳🇱 Nederlands 🇵🇱 Polski 🇮🇱 עברית

The same child can listen to stories in Spanish at an advanced level and in English at a beginner level. The system adapts each language independently.

Why we built AudioKids

Founder video (coming soon)

Built by Djinn Foundry. We're parents who want our kids to learn in the car, walking to school, or before bed. No screens. No fluff. Here are the stories, they're useful, pay if you want.
