AiForge
Learn how AI really works by building your own classifiers, training models, detecting bias, and navigating the ethics of a world run by algorithms — with an AI mentor that teaches you about itself.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
Mentored by Bit
#29B6F6 AIForge teaches you how artificial intelligence really works! You will build your own classifiers, train simple models, spot bias in data, and learn to think carefully about AI -- all guided by an AI mentor that teaches you about itself. It is like having a robot teacher that is honest about what robots can and cannot do.
Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
AIForge's 5-character cast embodies AI-literacy primitives — explicitly designed to defuse cultural AI anxieties through honest framing. No sci-fi robot tropes; no 'AI as sentient'; no 'AI as scary'. Cast is non-human + non-gendered + non-cultural-coded. Bit (mentor) introduces them.

What's inside
Build Classifiers
Sort items into groups and teach the app your rules. You will see how AI learns from examples -- and what happens when those examples are wrong or unfair.
Detect Bias
Look at training data sets and figure out what is missing or unfair. Can you spot when the data only shows one type of person? Learning to find bias is a superp
Ethics Adventures
Face real-world dilemmas about AI and decide what is right. Should a self-driving car prioritize passengers or pedestrians? There are no easy answers, but think
Digital Citizenship
Learn about online safety, protecting your privacy, managing your digital footprint, and spotting deepfakes. These are skills you will use every day.
Mentored by Bit — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How AiForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ COPPA compliant under the 2026 FTC amendments
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
AiForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
