Who we are
At I Edu Tales, we believe digital experiences should inspire curiosity, creativity and personal growth, not passive consumption.
We are a team of designers, technologists and storytellers with one mission: to turn screen time into meaningful learning through playful, interactive storytelling powered by AI.
In a world full of distractions, we create a space where young readers can explore stories, think critically, build emotional awareness and develop language skills through engaging, personalised narratives.
Our approach combines creative writing, intuitive design and safe AI-driven personalisation to make every tale unique, interactive and developmentally relevant.
We started with a simple question:
What if screen time became story time with purpose?
Now, we're building the answer.

We envision a world where technology empowers learning, creativity, and emotional growth, not just entertainment.
Our goal is to become a trusted space where young people can explore interactive stories, develop critical and emotional skills, and connect through play and imagination. We aim to make I Edu Tales accessible across languages and cultures, creating diverse storytelling journeys shaped by personal choices, meaningful topics, and safe AI support.
I Edu Tales began through real conversations with families, educators, and young readers. We listened, researched, and surveyed over 100 participants to understand what digital learning needs and what today's tools fail to deliver.
We are currently self-funding the development of our first working prototype, prioritising depth over speed. Each feature is designed with care, evaluated through feedback, and built on strong educational and UX foundations before scaling to additional experiences.
We're a small but mighty team based in Germany, with roots in AI, design, education, and storytelling:
