We’re building Mo Money: a Duolingo-style app for learning to trade.
No AI in the product, but we've been flirting with using it behind the scenes to shape dynamic learning paths based on what users struggle with, dynamically generate content based on databases and to help answer their questions faster and more clearly.
With some friends, I've been building "Mo Money": a Duolingo-style app to teach investing through a gamified mix of microlearning and a real-time trading simulator (but it's a game). It's meant to be built as much for total beginners as it is for amateurs.
Sim side: A fully playable trading game backed by historical market data (no real $$), it's now integrated with a FastAPI backend, WebSockets, Firebase (soon), and XP system to track skill growth and gamify progress.
Learning side: A clean microlearning stack that teaches financial literacy in snack-sized bits, a lot like Duolingo, it's interactive, level-based & accurate and relevant information in the most digestible format.
Just added: a lightweight AI tutor for contextual Q&A during lessons. Thinking of adding a little more AI than a chatbot potentially to help learners in the app.
Upcoming: XP-linked achievements, a leaderboard, and a light paywall via Buy Me a Coffee.
We're undergrads building this from scratch, aiming for early users soon. If you’ve ever thought “I wish someone made markets feel learnable,” we’re trying to do just that. super excited

Helps them learn better, not just more.
