13-Year-Old Shanghai Student Develops AI Study App, Earns Over Rs 2 Lakh in Competition
A 13-year-old Shanghai student, Zhu Shuhan, developed an AI-powered app called Zai Chang to help parents supervise their children during study sessions. Despite having no programming background, she created the app in three to four days, which uses a virtual parent avatar to monitor and remind children to stay focused. The app generated 18,000 yuan (around Rs 2.2-2.6 lakh) from 90 orders during a national AI product marketing competition in Hangzhou, where Zhu won third prize and 5,000 yuan in prize money.
