About us

A toy children learn with by talking.

We’re developing Zivoo to give children a patient partner for practising words, numbers and stories, through conversation rather than a screen.

Why conversation

Children learn a lot by talking things through.

Saying a new word aloud, working out a sum or wondering why a character did something are natural ways to practise. Zivoo is designed to join in, at a child’s own pace, without a screen pulling their attention away.

How we’re approaching it

  1. Speaking first

    Every activity is built around talking and listening.

  2. Parents in the picture

    The app is planned so you choose what Zivoo offers.

  3. Honest about limits

    A practice partner, not a test, and clear about what’s still changing.

The people behind Zivoo

We’ll introduce our team here soon.
