An AI-literacy app for ages 9-15 explaining that a chatbot predicts the most likely next word from patterns learned in training text. Next Word presents 6 sentence starters with 4 candidate next words and probability bars summing to exactly 100. Build-a-Sentence grows a sentence from Likely/Maybe/Wild picks with a Safe-to-Wild temperature dial. Truth Check gives honest cards on confident mistakes and a closing rule: enjoy the answer, then check anything that matters. An About card states plainly that every prediction is a fixed hand-written example and no live AI is used.
