‘Appu is designed to be a personalised tutor’: How this Google-backed AI tool is reshaping education

Artificial intelligence is on its way to reshape early childhood education in India, which is on the threshold of transformation. Delhi-based non-profit organisation Rocket Learning recently launched Appu, a new AI-powered learning tool that has been designed to support children between the ages of three and six. Appu, developed in collaboration with Google.org, uses generative AI to offer personalised and conversational learning experiences. With AI being increasingly integrated into everyday learning, the organisation aims to fill the gaps in early education, especially among those from underserved communities.
