Gakku launches AI writing tutor Raku that teaches kids to think, not ghostwrite

Founder Priyank Ahuja introduces Gakku, an AI English writing tutor for kids built around the idea that AI should help children become better thinkers rather than think for them.
- Voice feedback: when a child writes "the bird sang extremely good," the AI coach Raku pinpoints that actions need adverbs, offering a transferable rule plus examples.
- Memory across sessions: Raku recalls a learner's earlier Ronaldo chatter and turns it into an argumentative essay topic; the Notebook keeps past lessons revisitable.
- Interest-driven writing: a roller-coaster memory becomes a visual postcard, giving practice a purpose.
- Aligned with CCSS, CEFR, and GCSE; parent and school-district testimonials cite independent practice and state-exam prep.
