Special features of Heeyo
- Live chat answering questions:
One main objective of Heeyo is to help satisfy the curiosity of kids. If you have been around them, kids love to ask lots of questions. So Heeyo has a chat application or area designed to provide answers to kid questions. There would be no need to try and tailor questions to the understand of the kid because Heeyo already knows their age and adapts answers accordingly.
So with Heeyo chat, a child is free to ask questions and get answers. Questions like How do birds fly? What is poultry feed made of? and many other ones. The kid would be able to get answers that are easy to understand and satisfy their curiosity. Heeyo was designed to hold conversations in English and 19 other international languages. So you can get the app and check out if your local language is available yet on it.
- Stimulating creativity:
One thing about kids is that they love to make things. You have likely seen kids put things apart and try to fix them again. Heeyo helps kids develop that ability to want to make things. Kids are allowed to create their own AI friend and give it some characteristics. They could create a little pet dog with brown or white fur. They could give it a name or make it appear or behave in a certain way.
Allowing kids to create AI objects is a way to stimulate them to be innovative and develop their powers of critical thinking. This way, any skills or crafts they already have as a natural talent would be nurtured in a fine way. Kids and their caregivers are even allowed to create their own games. Here is a note on that from Heeyo website:
Parents, educators, and kids can also design their own games by inputting the child's age and keywords, generating content based on family values or kids' latest interests like Bible trivia or treasure hunts. source
- Learn skills:
Heeyo comes packed with interactive skill-learning activities for kids. The app comes with more than 2000 different skills including ones like paper crafts, automotive skills, drawing and painting, music and dance, carpentry and many others. There is basically a skill or two that your kid would love to pick up and learn. There are many science skills loaded in the app that any kid could take up as a project and explore.
- Privacy:
The use of AI has sparked so much privacy concerns especially when the tool collects some personal data. Parents would be wary of kids giving out personally identifying information which some AI might leak. Heeyo was designed with privacy in mind. To begin, it does not collect any personal information during registration. So it will not ask a child to give their name, address, email or any other data that is private in nature.
Some of the controls on Heeyo does require voice input. That is a form of personal data. Heeyo has no database where it permanently stores any voice data provided as input during interactions. Instead it immediately deletes such voice inputs from the app to protect the privacy of the kids.
Finally
If you are a parent and have kids that are not older than 11, then Heeyo could be a helpful companion to fast-track their learning and also serve as a companion even when you the parent are not around. Heeyo puts your kids in safe hands when it comes to the use of AI.
