Pandy, the AI Tutor
English AI Tutor for Novakid School
At Novakid, I was the sole product designer on an AI Tutor project that started as an R&D initiative and eventually became a core feature of the platform’s self-learning experience. The product is designed for children aged 6–11.

The tutor, a Panda character, interacts with children through conversation. It plays word-based games, suggests topics based on the child’s responses, and teaches English through friendly, supportive dialogue.
For this project, our team created and tested more than 20 different activities, including word games, conversation scripts on a wide range of topics, and simulations of real-life situations.
The tutor, Pandy, travels through different locations, unlocking new themes, outfits, and adventures.
We experimented with different forms of gamification, including rewards, daily limitations, and time-limited seasonal events. Through this work, I gained a huge amount of practical knowledge about what motivates and engages children aged 7–11 from different countries and cultures.
