In a nutshell
Chat GPT and MidJourney can be used to cheat on homework, but they can also supercharge reading as a fun and engaging source of education and early childhood development. That’s Yuna’s secret sauce, an AI-powered app to reimagine how children engage with reading and learning from stories.

Positive Notes
Yuna continues to expand access to storytelling and literacy for children worldwide. In 2025, the platform reached 1 million families globally and launched in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, significantly broadening its international footprint. The brand is increasingly recognized by parents in Brazil, and the company has initiated promising partnership discussions with leading global book publishers—strengthening its position at the intersection of AI and children’s literature.
As engagement grows, Yuna’s top challenge is improving retention while staying true to the essence of reading. Experiments with multimedia formats—such as voice-over, animations, and interactivity—have driven meaningful gains in retention, but the company remains committed to preserving the core experience of active reading and learning. Balancing innovation with developmental responsibility will be key as Yuna scales its impact.
