Stories and games that show kids how AI works

Ages 3 to 10. Read together with younger children and talk about the pictures. Older kids can read along on their own and try the deeper books. For ages 2 to 6, Pico's Playroom has short AI games that need no reading.

How AI learns from examples, how chatbots guess the next word and sometimes make things up, how AI makes pictures and imagines what happens next, first coding ideas like steps, loops, bugs and if-then rules, how computers keep and find information, and what happens inside an AI's decisions. Every book ends with Pico's promise: people are in charge, check together, keep it private, and think for yourself.

No. Every line is read aloud and each word lights up as it is spoken, and every page has a game to tap. Pico's Playroom has no text for the child at all.

English, 日本語 (Japanese), español (Spanish) and 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese). English and Japanese have recorded narration. Spanish and Chinese are read aloud with the device's own voice. You can switch languages any time.

No. The books run in the web browser on phones, tablets and computers. On an iPhone or iPad, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, to open them full screen. Kids never need an account.

There are no ads and no tracking. Progress, stickers and settings are saved only on your device.

Each book has four to six short chapters, and each chapter takes a few minutes. Every book ends with a party and a certificate with your child's name.
