Building an AI-Driven Learning App: Looking for Curious Minds

Looking for curious minds to help shape an AI-driven learning app — built just for the love of learning.

Hello everyone,

I’m writing this article to ask if anyone might be interested in joining a long-term, AI-based educational project — purely out of curiosity, passion, and the joy of building. This is for people who have motivation, energy, and a thirst for knowledge, and who don’t mind investing time knowing that the main rewards will be experience, learning, and new connections. That could be anyone — a teacher, lawyer, mathematician, physicist, developer, artist, salesperson… and especially parents.

Before I start, I want to make one thing very clear: �� This is a personal, non-commercial side project — something I work on purely in my free time. It doesn’t generate any income (quite the opposite), and if it ever does, that would be at least two years away. For now, it’s simply about learning, exploring, and building something meaningful together.

The Idea

The project is a learning app for primary school students, with plans to expand later to secondary education. Currently, there’s an Android version on the Play Store, and an iOS version is in preparation.

Devil’s Advocate Dialogue

Devil’s advocate: What is it exactly? It’s an app where students can practice math and German.

Devil’s advocate: What makes it special? The app is entirely AI-driven — generating exercises, explanations, feedback, and even new tasks based on each student’s learning history.

Devil’s advocate: But every student learns differently. Exactly — each student has a personal AI tutor, who tracks performance, timing, and progress to identify strengths and weaknesses and adapt accordingly.

Devil’s advocate: Students have different levels. Right. Teachers or parents can define custom goals, assign them to individuals or groups, and track progress easily.

Devil’s advocate: Sounds like a lot of work for teachers. Not really — you can create a few goals, form groups, and the app handles the rest.

Devil’s advocate: What about transparency for parents? All exercises, results, and AI feedback are saved and visible. Teachers or parents can generate detailed PDF reports anytime, with progress curves and tips.

Devil’s advocate: You must have a team for that. Not yet — it’s just me. I’m a full-stack developer with over 15 years of experience (C/C++ to high-level frameworks). I’m using Flutter (Dart) for the app, Java & Spring for the backend, Angular for the web GUI, and PostgreSQL for data management. And yes — AI helps me a lot during development.

Devil’s advocate: That takes a long time. It does. I started in December 2024, and since May 2025, it’s become AI-supported, which boosted my efficiency greatly.

Devil’s advocate: Is it already available? Yes — it’s already published in the Play Store, and the App Store version is currently in the test phase.

Devil’s advocate: So it’s finished? Not at all. There’s still a lot to do:

• some new features need to be developed,
• more testing is required,
• the design and user interface should become more aesthetic and intuitive, and
• we need new ideas and innovations to keep improving it. So, there’s still plenty of work ahead — and that’s exactly what makes it exciting.

Devil’s advocate: So what do you need? Mainly:

• Testers and users
• People interested in education, data protection, or legal topics
• Anyone curious about improving or expanding the app

Devil’s advocate: But there are already big companies doing that. True — but small, passionate teams can still make a difference. Even in the worst case, we’ll gain valuable experience and knowledge — and that’s already a success.

Long-Term Vision

The long-term goal is not just to build an app, but to bring it into real classrooms — starting with a few schools and growing through trust, quality, and collaboration. If that kind of journey inspires you, I’d love to connect.
