About Plumakids
Plumakids is a creative writing web app where children write their own books with an AI guide. Created by Fernando Angulo, it currently runs an invitation-only private pilot for families in Spain with children aged 9–14 writing in Spanish.
For big ideas that need a starting point
A web app where children aged 9–14 in the Spain private pilot write their own books. They pick a genre, meet Master Quill (their AI guide), answer questions about their hero and world, and write their story in eight scenes. When they're done, they have a private finished book they can read or print.
Real story structure, ending in a real book
The scenes follow the classic shape of a story. Writers follow eight scenes — opening image, setup, catalyst, debate, midpoint, bad guys close in, all is lost, finale. When the child finishes the last scene, the pages appear in a paginated reader and they leave with a printable PDF book they wrote themselves.
How we protect their writing space
The Spain private pilot is ad-free, parent-controlled, invitation-only, and private by default. Discover and anonymous public links are disabled. Automated controls cover AI features, but parent review remains important. We do not sell data. The limited-pilot authorization is recorded publicly, while participant and signature details stay private.
Personal milestones without comparison
Every scene a child saves earns a sticker, and personal participation milestones unlock story titles. Short and long scenes count equally, asking for help carries no penalty, and family ranking is disabled during the learning pilot.
When Plumakids fits your family
Kids who like to imagine but get stuck on the blank page. Parents who want screen time to produce something instead of just consuming. Plumakids supports English and Spanish, while the current Spain pilot uses Spanish writing guidance only. It's not the right tool for homework help or formal essay coaching.
Examples and documentation
Library books are sample stories, not participant stories or evidence of learning outcomes.
Common questions
Is Plumakids safe for my child?
The Spain private pilot is ad-free, parent-controlled, invitation-only, and private by default. Discover and anonymous links are disabled. Admission is staged and can be paused when a safety, privacy, or reliability problem needs to be resolved.
Does the AI write the story for the child?
The child remains the author. Master Quill asks open questions and offers optional ideas; an explicitly requested AI sentence starter may be edited or replaced. AI can polish a separate reading edition, while the original draft stays available. New AI covers and portraits are disabled during the pilot.
What ages is Plumakids for?
The Spain private pilot is for children aged 9–14. It offers an eight-scene writing path, with Master Quill as their AI guide.
How does sharing a story work?
Stories remain private during the Spain pilot. Discover and anonymous share links are disabled; reopening either requires a further safety and moderation review.
Is Plumakids bilingual?
The product supports English and Spanish. The current Spain pilot enrolls children aged 9–14 for Spanish writing guidance only. New AI narration is disabled during the pilot.
Is Plumakids free?
The alpha pilot is free for invited families in Spain. Access is invitation-only. Anyone can read the public sample books without joining the pilot.
Can a child finish a book without screen-typing skills?
Pilot writers aged 9–14 can use a choice of ideas, guiding questions, and optional dictation. A parent may also scribe alongside them.
How is Plumakids different from a chatbot?
Plumakids provides a structured writing journey with Master Quill as the AI guide. The child plans, writes and edits each scene. Optional AI ideas and an explicitly requested sentence starter support the draft; AI can polish a separate reading edition while preserving the original.
