13-Year-Old Develops AI Study App, Earns Over Rs 2 Lakh in Three Days
A 13-year-old Shanghai student, Zhu Shuhan, developed an AI-powered study app called Zai Chang ("On Site") that helps parents supervise their children during homework by creating a virtual parent avatar. Despite having no coding background, she built the app in three to four days and earned 18,000 yuan (around Rs 2.2-2.6 lakh) from 90 orders during a national AI product marketing competition in Hangzhou. The app monitors distractions and generates concentration reports, inspired by her own study challenges. She won third prize and 5,000 yuan in the contest.
