What is Whyzard?
Whyzard is an iOS app for curious kids and the adults reading with them. When your child asks "why?", you open it together. Each answer comes in two layers, side by side: a short one written to read aloud, and a deeper one for whoever stays curious. Each answer also flags what it left out, so you know what to come back to.
Who is it for?
Parents (or grandparents, caregivers) of curious children, roughly ages four to ten. You don't need a science background; the deeper layer is written so you actually learn, not so you can recite.
Can my child use Whyzard alone?
Whyzard is built for an adult and child reading together. The two layers only work when both of you are reading. There's no kid-mode lockout; the app assumes an adult is part of the moment.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
A general chatbot writes one answer, aimed at whoever's asking. Whyzard writes two, calibrated to how your child takes in ideas right now: a kid layer to read aloud together, and a "for you" layer underneath. It also flags what it left out, so you know what to come back to.
Can my child ask out loud, and can Whyzard read answers aloud?
Yes. Tap the mic to ask by voice instead of typing — handy for a child who can't type yet, or hands-free in the car. And the kid-facing layer has a read-aloud button, so you can listen to it in a clear built-in voice instead of reading it yourself.
Do I need an account, and where does my data go?
No account, no sign-up, no email. Chat history stays only on your device. Each question is sent to an AI model to generate the reply, with no profile or identity attached.
What languages does it speak?
Type a question in any language, and Whyzard replies in the language of your question. Voice input, starter questions, and on-screen labels follow your app display language, available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
What ages does it cover?
Each answer is calibrated by reading level rather than chronological age — you choose how your child takes in ideas right now, and how deep the “For you” layer goes. Add your child and those settings stay with them, so every answer fits; when you're just asking for yourself, it uses your own default.
