AI-Written Kids' Content Behind a Human Gate: Picture Books, Story Tasks and Practice Tables in Plain PHP

When you build learning content for children with an LLM, the model is the easy part. The hard parts are everything around it: who is allowed to see its output, how you catch its mistakes, and what you decide not to teach at all.

Three new features launched on kids.findnix.eu aim to provide safe, curated learning experiences for children. The site uses plain PHP and MariaDB with no frameworks or accounts. AI-written picture books, story tasks, and practice tables are all pre-generated, reviewed by a human, and never presented to children while they're browsing.

Picture books cover topics like courage and friendship for ages 6-9, with English translation exercises. Story tasks feature math, science, and geography problems, with the model's answers checked by a second pass. Practice tables allow children to test their knowledge of UN member states, the periodic table, and more. All content is reviewed and approved before publication to avoid AI errors.
