Hikayaحكاية

How Hikaya works

Four steps, one consistent hero, and a media pipeline you control.

Create the child profile

Name, age, language preference and interests. Guardian consent is captured before anything else.

Approve the hero look

An optional photo is analysed transiently to draft a character sheet. You review, regenerate and approve.

Choose the story

Theme, length, language mode and a lesson to carry. The approved look is bound to the story.

Read, listen, print

Read on screen, add narration and sound, answer comprehension questions, or export a print-ready book.

Progressive media

  • Text
  • Illustrations
  • Motion
  • Voice
  • Sound
  • Cinematic clips

Answers to help you get started

A reviewed reference guide. This page sends no data to an AI provider and asks for no child details.

How do we begin as a family?

An adult creates a family account, adds a child with consent, and chooses story preferences. Review the story and any available pictures or sound before adding it to the child’s library.

Create an adult account
What can a teacher see?

Teachers work with children actively enrolled in their classes and class-shared records. Your family’s private profile is not part of the teacher’s child record. Optional school activity responses are shared only when an adult chooses to send them.

Read about privacy and review
Does my child chat with AI?

The child experience centers on available books, reading choices and finite activities. It has no open-ended AI chat. Adults prepare and review content; a child’s reading choices do not grant publishing or billing permission.

What if something does not work?

You can keep using available books and manual tools when an AI feature is unavailable. An adult can use the support form for a question or concern. Opening a help answer does not send a message or change your account.
