Maatru: An agentic Telugu literacy app for kids, built with Gemma 4
Maatru is a Telugu literacy app designed for children whose parents are fluent in the language but have lost the ability to read and write it. The app allows kids to learn Telugu letters through interactive sessions, providing feedback to parents on their child's progress. Built using Gemma 4, Maatru aims to support families in maintaining their linguistic heritage while navigating English-medium education.
- ▪Maatru is designed for Telugu-speaking parents who cannot teach their children the script.
- ▪The app features interactive sessions where children hear a letter and select the corresponding character.
- ▪A parent dashboard provides insights into the child's practice and the AI's reasoning for letter selection.
