We Built a Visual Novel App to Learn AI Basics

At Kaizen Softworks, AI is already part of our daily work. But adoption doesn’t happen at the same speed across every team, and that's normal. To keep our evolution strategic, we wanted every team member to have a solid understanding of AI concepts. 

To do that, our Innovation Hub (our internal AI R&D team) built a learning tool that actually looks like something you’d want to use. Instead of more slides or long docs, we built an interactive web app with a visual novel style.

It was built in React in just two weeks and uses a branching, story-driven approach to learning.

Putting the learner at the center

The experience puts you in the role of Kai, a character moving through a story where your decisions shape what happens next. As the story unfolds, you can explore core AI concepts in a way that feels practical and easy to follow:

  • What is an LLM: How models predict the next word in a sequence.
  • What is Embedding and Vector Representation: How AI converts language into math to "understand" context.
  • What is RAG: Connecting an AI to your own data to prevent "hallucinations."
  • Fine-Tuning vs. Prompt Engineering: When to retrain the model vs. when to just ask better questions.
  • What are AI Agents: Moving from simple chatbots to systems that actually execute tasks.

The goal of this MVP is to level the technical vocabulary across the entire organization, fostering a culture of responsible autonomy. We believe that when we understand the deep logic behind the technology, we can build solutions that offer real, lasting value to our clients.

This platform isn’t meant to replace technical workshops or 1:1 coaching. It’s an accessible entry point. And for anyone who wants to go deeper after finishing the story, we included a curated set of advanced resources recommended by our technical team.

Try the module

We’re opening up this first module so anyone can try the tool, meet Kai, and sharpen their AI understanding in just a few minutes.

This is an early version, and your feedback will play a big role in how we continue evolving this storytelling engine.
