About the experience
Each Ember Journey chapter unfolds like a playful experiment. Kids move their characters, collect objects, test combinations, and describe their ideas to the AI guide—who understands context and responds with rich narrative or timely nudges. Voice capture and byte-level streaming keep interactions low-latency while bespoke gameplay systems track objectives, vocabulary, and creativity milestones.
What we built
- Item interaction system that feeds meaningful context to the language model
- Audio capture that converts speech to byte streams for the conversational backend
- Responsive character controls, UI, and hint flows tuned for young learners
- Server communication layer coordinating model calls, cooldowns, and safety filters
