Why Personalities Matter
Generic AI assistants feel... generic. Kids don't engage with them long-term.
But characters work differently:
- Consistency — Same voice every time builds trust
- Relatability — Age-appropriate language and references
- Engagement — Kids actually enjoy the interaction
- Boundaries — Character constraints prevent abuse
Create Your Own
Each tutor is defined by a simple markdown file (MATTEO.md, NELLY.md, etc.). You can:
- Adjust personality and teaching style
- Add new subjects (Geography, Science, ...)
- Customize language and tone for your kids
- Add subject-specific example dialogues
