Why we built Chimoya

It started with a stack of worksheets.

I spent hours searching online, flipping through bookstore shelves — just trying to find the right ones.Then came the printing.Then checking the answers.Then explaining—again and again.

All that effort, just to help my kid learn a little more.

I wasn’t chasing some big idea.I just wanted to help my daughter review what she learned that week — and get ready for what’s coming next.

A few geometry problems.Some science questions.A quick grammar check.Maybe a short reading with a few comprehension questions.

That’s it.Nothing fancy — just a few minutes of focused practice that actually helped her understand and grow.

But it took forever.

Not because I didn’t care.But because there was no quick, flexible way to create just the right kind of practice — on the spot.

The platforms I tried?

• Too many steps before you even get to the content
• Rigid formats that didn’t adapt
• Gamification that distracted more than it helped
• Or content that felt outdated, irrelevant, or just not right for where we were

So I thought:What if I could just tell AI what kind of questions I need, then instantly get a worksheet or digital practice, like Google Form that is ready to use.

So I built it.

Not for a startup.Not for funding.Just for us.

Now it’s called Chimoya.

The idea is simple:

Tell AI exactly what kind of practice you need — such as grade level, subject, topic, or even a specific learning goal.

“4th grade math, multiply by 2-digit numbers, word problems”

Let kids practice anywhere, on any device.

No printing. No logins. No apps. Just open and start.

If they get something wrong, explain it right away.

No grading. No waiting. Just explain and move on.

It wasn’t about making another flashy edtech product.It was about building something that made learning easier—right when we needed it.

If this sounds useful to you, I’d love for you to try it.And if it’s missing something, confusing, or just not quite there — please tell us. That’s how it gets better.
